Looks good to me. Thanks for tidying that up

I don't have any stats in the player stats tab under team. Just goalies (which there are many copies of).

Still no fix meaning we have zero players stats for our team for this season (under the team tab).

Thanks. It manifests elsewhere too, symptomatic of multiple incomplete starts to the season perhaps.

Howitzer just came out of pause to start a new season. Noticed this in my player's stats history (same for all players I've checked on my team): Season 25 Goblins GHL 59 5 12 17 6 51 5 3 0 0 0 0 92 39 46 2 27 0 0 - 00:00 02:00 19:00 75 Season 26 Goblins GHL 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 00:00 00:00 00:00 - Goblins GHL 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 00:00 00:00 00:00 - Goblins GHL 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 00:00 00:00 00:00 - Goblins GHL 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 00:00 00:00 00:00 -

I think it is paused because they realized a team like mine should never win

Thanks! It came as quite the surprise! Had a little help, and a little luck, along the way. I was thinking the same thing. The teams are so homogeneous (every team has a full lineup in the 90-95 range) that anything can win. I've targeted players for their personalities and have noticed a couple interesting observations. On that note, and your comment specifically, shoot me a message in-game.

I would be nice to know a bit more what knobs we have to turn and how they may influence the results. There is a fine line between not giving away enough and giving away too much from a developer point of view. I wish there was some thorough literature somewhere where we could read up on things. In any case, I'm "one roll of the dice" away from the title - only a couple years removed from struggling to stay up. I'm pretty happy about that but definitely do not expect a similar showing next year - I still consider myself a 7-12 team.

And just like that my top player is out the rest of this round and I lost game 1 (at home) in a shootout. Grrrrr

Thanks! Lucky for me, the first seed (and runaway season winner) lost game 3.

So, best finish every in the regular season - finishing 5th. Ended up sweeping the 4th seed in a lopsided affair which was quite surprising. Surprised to find I play 8th in round 2. I'm not complaining, but 5v8 and 2v6 seems a bit odd. Is it a fixed bracket playoff thing? 1v8 and 5v4 on one side and 2v7 and 3v6 on the other?

The other game I play where custom logos are permitted, there are consistently logos that need to be removed (and team names renamed) due to abuse/inappropriate use.

On another manager game I play adding custom logos is nice, but you get some very low quality uploads by some people that really takes away from the aesthetics of the game (consider a logo on a jersey with a white rectangular background on it). I'm curious where the logos were licensed from. I saw some from this game on Shutterstock and if you buy a license to the images on Shutterstock they are yours to use for life (as confirmed by email by Shutterstock staff). It'd be a pricey alternative, but it'd be a one-time expense.

I have had the same issue for awhile. Example: http://www.gameplanhockey.com/player?gpid=57133

And just like that, lost all the recent games. 2 points up on 9th playing 2nd when 9th is playing last. I may go through all this and miss playoffs anyway - finishing with a mid-round pick as a reward.

Penultimate game of the year could be a big one given how close we are!

I've won 9 of my last 10 and just beat the top team. I think my team is telling me what I should do. All-in it is! Up to 6th now setting up a potential series vs a team I've consistently done well against for some reason.

Thanks for your reply and comments. I fell short and landed 9th last year, a significant reduction in draft value from previous seasons. I'll give it another game or two and see what I can get. I suspect, unless I keep this winning roll going, the last 5+ games will be a young squad for reasons you mentioned. Good luck the rest of the year!

I'm torn. I'm currently 1 point out of the 8th and final playoff spot with 8 games remaining. I'm 14 points clear of 13th. My conundrum is, what value is there to pushing to make playoffs? I doubt I can upset either of the top-2 seeds. So, in essence, I'd just be screwing myself out of a good draft pick. Is there any value to making playoffs? Do players develop a lot in a short period of time? Does team rep go up and players sign for cheaper? What are the pros of that outcome? With as weak as this year's draft is, it seems a lot more pragmatic to play my youngsters the rest of the year to give them GHL development time and take (hopefully) a top-5 pick.

Ouch. Kinda shady if the new bidders were trying to scoop you.

Cool, thanks! That's helpful!

It is for 4.4M. Is salary demand tied to team reputation? If so, I'll cancel and sign to a one-year deal since my reputation should rise significantly after this season. Thanks for your reply, very helpful!

Thanks. I've wanted to get some players locked down and have been checking every couple of days. In your opinion, I want to re-negotiate the pending contract of the player I just acquired. If I do this do I risk the wait period dragging on and him potentially being poached elsewhere? Would I even get that much of a discount compared to a team currently 15th? Also, thanks for the compliment re: not a bubble team anymore. I'm really happy with how my tactical settings (minus PK - I'm at a loss there) have helped me climb out of the cellar after the first 10 games on suspended autopilot.

So, I decided to brave it and complete a trade - shame the experience earlier has made me trigger shy. Anyways, made a deal with a team destined for the SHL. Received a single player on a one-way contract that would be lost for nothing in exchange for a myriad of defensive assets. Owner negotiated an additional player to be added in from my first offer - all are on two-way deals (and those expiring will surely accept another two-way deal before the season is up) and will benefit him next season. Sidebar: Does anyone know when the "I'm happy with my contract" will be removed and we can negotiate deals with players on expiring contracts?

Thanks.
