You need to create another account using another email. Then, you can take over another team(not in the same World of course).

Same thing happening with Bot teams in Lumber GHL. http://www.gameplanhockey.com/team?gpid=40 http://www.gameplanhockey.com/team?gpid=34

Making a Bug Report would probably help as well.

Also, is it possible to implement the IR lists before bringing this update over to the rest of the Worlds? Most teams are up against the cap already, so I don't see how having affiliate teams would help in case of injuries, since we won't have the space to call anyone up. Not to mention how we're going to sign players to the affiliate teams in the first place(this could work if there's an option to straight-away send 2-way contract signings to affiliate teams).

Maybe post that under Suggestions so Anders can take a look?

Yeah, it might've just been a major penalty. That was the explanation given when someone had reported something like this some time ago.

Also, would it make sense to make it such that players who've spent majority of their careers in the affiliate teams will be much more likely to continue to sign 2-way contracts? Not sure if that's already a thing? It'd be for players who usually play in the minors and get called up here and there for injury replacements.

You could just make it such that any affiliate player that gets traded will automatically go to the other team's affiliate. The other team can then make the call-up if they want. Sorta like how unsigned prospects remain unsigned prospects regardless of being traded...that's prob a bad example, but u k what I mean

In accordance with what Score is saying, I think the affiliate teams should have their own salary cap. Any player we sign to a 2-way contract should automatically be assigned to the affiliate team, and then we can call them up as required.

Is it possible to initially limit the NPC players on the affiliate teams to 1y contracts, so that Managers have a chance to fill their affiliate teams with their own players? Also, I think we might need an increase in available FA when this update comes out, so that people are able to fill their affiliate teams. However, most teams won't have the cap to sign these "reserve" players and reassign them, any way around that?

Np, glad I could help! -canucks

In terms of prospects, we still have to sign them before they get signed by NPC teams and then re-assign them right? What if we don't have the cap space to sign the prospect? Is it possible to have an option on the Contract Offering page to prospects, where we can sign them and assign them to the lower leagues right away, in order to comply with salary cap demands?

Are the players already assigned to the affiliate teams "our" players, as in we can call them up? Or are they NPCs? I'm not in UAT, just something that came to mind.

You can message anyone in your World via the Action Tab on your Manager Page.

Can't wait for the actual update! Might have to join UAT just to get a glimpse of this Great work Anders!

That'd be my team. Don't think the trades I made were unfair by any means? Gave up quality prospects for them. Given how bad the draft looks, I honestly think I lost out on those trades to a good extent :/

Oh okay, think I misunderstood part of your previous post. In general though, Anders should be able to give us a full-on depth chart interface if he can code the underlying lineup stuff instead of just the simpler number depth chart option. It'd be more user-friendly that way for sure.

That's a good idea, but we were thinking of a depth chart that the game will use to autofill lines in case of injuries. Essentially, a non-manual method.

I'm not in Clapper, but I would definitely report the teams involved. Anders should be able to take care of those user(s).

Just to add on, sometimes GMs will want to trade players/prospects for picks as well. Sort of like NHL teams making trades on Draft day. Perhaps adding in a day or two after playoffs/before draft would solve the issue by giving the GMs some more time to get a deal done? Playoffs need to be extended to a Series of 5 or preferably 7 as well, so perhaps these changes can occur simultaneously?

They'll usually open up right when regular season ends, so you'll have the entire playoffs to work those out
