EXXEO

I would recommend not making a habit of unbalanced trades as it will effect your trade "reputation" in the game and it could potentially flag you after repeated occasions. But like I said, person to person interactions I wouldn't worry about...unless your "friend" is really just your own alter ego

Yeah, I haven't had a goalie injury in a long time. I did get a guy that had a concussion down in the affiliate team this season though. I haven't been monitoring my affiliate team fitness well though so for all I know that Goalie could have passed out from exhaustion mid-game and hit his head on the crossbar!

An Article out of the Slaughterville Sea-Affair Newspaper: 
 
After the Slaughterville Savage Storm's GM went missing for two weeks, the Coast Guard finally found him washed up on a beach in Miami. His comment stated that he got stranded off of the Island of Key West after taking a canoe to explore the untamed sea while away on a business convention there on the Island before the season began. "Boy it's good to be back! I fought off sharks and a giant octopus names Yzerman but I survived by jamming my paddle in his eye and then I ate it! I hit some wicked storm that swirled me around out there for over a week and then I blacked out. I don't remember the rest." O'Connor was treated at Miami's top medical center and they concluded that he had severe heat stroke at some point and was delusional most his time at sea. They really have no idea how he survived in a canoe or what he actually ate. He was found clothed only in a loin cloth made of sea weed and shark skin. "I was born to be at sea - let's get this team back on track for the rest of the season so I can head back out there and be victorious again!" Medical advisors recommended he stay away from any form of open water for at least 8 years. He was found the next day in the same canoe paddling in circles around his pool yelling, "I'll find you Yzerman and I will take your other eye for betraying me you giant, stinky octopus!" It's good to have you back - we hope!

I'm digging having players in the affiliate teams but it would be nice to see a few extra nuggets of information. So there are games being simulated behind all the stats that we see on our affiliate players, right? Is there anyway we could just see a standings tab in the league overview to see if our affiliate team is sucking etc?

Also, when you go to see your affiliate player's form it shows that he has been scratched from your major league team. Could we see up to date affiliate info tracked on that tab?

+1 to the waiver idea, you guys can work out the details though.

We all know a red oval on the roster is an injured player, instead of putting INJ in the field, why not put the expected length of injury there.  Currently we have to go to the plyer page and then the form tab.
 
A delete all messages in team and manager would be helpful as well.

I'm ok with the 10%. If there was no budget cost then people could fill two teams full of their own prospects with no regard to finances. In the long run, 10% of a players contract is very doable but some teams will need to make adjustments with the new systems in play. Let's say you want 6 prospects to go into each of your Affiliate teams and let's assume that we are talking GHL budgets. If you have 12 guys with $1 Million contracts that calculates out to a grand total of $1.2 Million in Affiliate costs (nearly the price of one decent player).
 
I think it also depends on Manager style. Some may want to take the long approach and pick up a lot of young, developing players to build a pool while some Managers may prefer the win now strategy. Either way, I feel Like the 10% contract cost is a good trade off.

@ Euph:
 
Gotta bring that tone down man - Ineffable Leafs wasn't trying to lie, merely disagreeing with you (and he stated it in a neutral stance). No need to start calling people liars!

The Coquitlam Tribune
 
Savage Storm upend Timberwolves 5-2
 
SLAUGHTERVILLE, OK. The Savage Storm handily beat the visiting team last night, and boy was it a rough one. Credited with 23 hits, the home team spanked the Coquitlam Timberwolves on the boards and in the corners, and skated away from most of the physical play initiated by the visitors. After the first period, the Storm took a one goal lead and ground out the last two periods to a 5-2 final score.
 
Storm defenseman Lucas Calello shared the team lead of 3 hits last night and pitched in with a helper. "It's nice to be able to contribute on the gamesheet, but I feel better about beating on those wimpy SHL wannabees." 
 
'Wolves backup goalie Joen Berg put on a brave face after the game, having let 5 out of 35 shots get by him. "Coach let me know with 10 minutes to go that I'd be playing, and I guess I just couldn't find my angles in time." Shortly after the buzzer sounded, Berg's twitter account listed a post that read, "Hey @BergerFries -- I found you this protractor goo.gl/ZzHVZs. Luv Mum."
 
While the Coquitlam coach was quick to get on the bus to their next game at Pinehurst -- a 1,200 mile trip -- their assistant manager, Notta H. Uman, was happy to comment on the game. "The team had some tactical difficulties offensively against our opponent's defence. The opponent's defense and goalie was superior to our team's goal scoring in today's game. The opponent's defense was superior to our team's offense in today's game. The body checking of our opponent's offense was superior to our team's defense in today's game." The guy did not shut up. "At least the team did very well tactically during powerplay against our opponent's penalty killing." Also, the Wolves did not score one powerplay goal.
 
The Storm's coach liked their compete level. "I think that we..." The rest of his statement was boring and had five spelling errors.
 
The Timberwolves play the Razorbacks at 12am tonight. Maybe we'll think about broadcasting it.

"My next challenge: the big, bad , Savage Storm. 
*Boooooo*"
 
Ha! It's not that bad - I'm sure you guys will play great...but I may tune in for the "bone crushing action!" Ha!
 

Hi!
 
My league (Lower Iron League) is also very exciting. The Michigan Center Fury has an enormous point advantage, but there is a fierce battle for the 2nd position. The Edgewood Reapers, the Prince Rupert Raiders, the La Marque Topcats and my team the Torrington Thunderbolts competing for this position. After 45 matches the Reapers and the Raiders had 90 points and the other two had 89...
 
This is my first season, but this game gives me a great experience!
 
The Fury is the strongest team in the league, I think they will give a great challenge for the other teams in the Iron League next year, Nolasco and Arena leads the charge while the giant Jussilla blocks the attacks, this team has also the best offensive defenseman.
 
The Reapers has a very good roster with great veteran players.and with an also veteran manager. Sennevile is a great goaltender, and he is helped by the league's best teamwork and winner instict. They are very strong as a team.
 
The Raiders has three excellent players Germain, Thelland and Cape. Cape (like Nolasco) is a Bronze League level player, this season he has a lot of problems with injuries, but he is a terrific defender with excellent attacking skills.
 
The Topcats has a very experienced manager, and they have a very solid defence led by Zemancik, a great offensive defenseman.
 
The Minnesota City Mustangs is a great danger too. They play a cruel physical hockey with a giant center. This team can be very dangerous and they can also reach the 2nd spot.
 
My team is the youngest in this league (and maybe in the Biscuit world), and I must spend a lot of time with thinking about my lineups if I want to give a challenge for these excellent teams and managers. I am a rookie but my experience with other manager games can give my team a great boost.
 
I wish good luck to you all for the next matches!

Ya know, I was checking out the BHL the other day and Intell you what, that is maybe the most competitive and exciting league in Biscuit. There are some seriously good teams duking it out there. Fun to watch!

I know there was a time when players were in the decline but I'm pretty sure that was worked out, right? My goalie I just signed off of my prospect pool has been dropping over the past two seasons. He's 20 and has dropped a point a year since turning 18. His performance ratings have been great and has played a decent amount of time since 18. Any thoughts from anyone would be awesome - thanks and happy 4th of July weekend!

Post whatever...within reason

Have you shot Anders a message? Might even be a good idea to take a look at that support thread if you haven't already
