Goalies get injured just its very rare and very short. It would kind of be overwhelming every couple games having to change your goalie due to fatigue and then have it get injured the next game. Plus goalie injuries in real life aren't that common either, James Reimer and Price are the only big ones that happened so far to starting goaltenders in the nhl I think

Sorry with gallaher i ment in goals

To the guys who got no chill, get some, this might have not been the best example, but sometimes i get like 70 overall 35 yr olds offers for some of my guys. To rainsilent good point about accepting offer if situation were reversed To BBC I dont mean to point out everything, but only one of your guys has more points than my top, and some of our top guys have been plagued with injuries. Also keep in mind, the game doesnt show the first half of season stats, if it would i have a feeling we would have much more than you, there was a point where gallaher was leading the league byfar

I did not mean to offend anyone. You have to understand, you are asking for a very high overall player who is my shutdown guy when we go up against very good teams, i played him on my top line in the playoffs against the grizzlies and angels and i think had to double shift him when we played the angels due to someone else being injured. He is byfar my best defencive forward, and your 2nd line forward wouldnt even make my roster, im not taking time from gallaher and pokormy and my top of the league scoring talent and depth to try out a guy who did good somewhere else but is like an 82 overall. I wasnt here when you offered a 90+, must have been on vacation and the cpu declined it, sorry about that. Also, my team isnt like yours, we play a different style. We arent very physical, we are skilled and cycle the puck alot. That grinder prospect would have been traded straight away. The way you talk about my team however is insulting. We arent pushovers, we have some great checkers especially on defence, and we play hard. Vannotte is still one of the most grittiest guys in the league and also one of the best. He is our only real gritty player who is going to take alot of penalties, everyone else is mostly diciplined. Your team just got overwhelmed when they tried to shut us down the last time we played, it takes a great team to shut down that offence, the angels this season are the only team that hasnt done it by a fluke. We both are in different situations when it comes to the trade, you may just have not have known how much the player is worth to me. The reason why he isnt on the untradable list is that i will trade him for a very very high price if someone wants to offer that much, same goes with most of the other players not on my untradables.

@above Sorry if I sound like I am complaining, its a great game! Im just trying to help by saying things that could improve the game. Many other managers suffer the same problems that I specify, and its good if it becomes known so it can be fixed. Yes, my team is almost full 90 ovr, but I am always trying to improve my team as much as I can, isn't everyone? I did not mean to offend anyone with my suggestions, I know it takes very hard work to keep this game up and running, and I respect that. I am just trying to help as much as I can, it is a great game and it would be awesome to see it succeed. About what you said how managers value players in different ways, yes I do understand that, many times players are better than their overall shows, and I can make sence of most trades that look worse than they are, but can you argue with what I said really? I have gotten many of these trades, and many times just the player they offer is changed, it isn't just like its a one time thing. Ive received many trades even with 75 overall players for one of my 96 overall players who I forgot to put untouchable on. If someone sent you this offer, would you accept it? Exactly.

Or at least if I could block certain teams for sending offers

I am usually pretty active in trades in this game, but I think some people got the wrong idea. Now every couple days I get trades like the one tagged. So far we are on day 31, and I have only received one legitimate offer which I accepted, and the rest are like the one I tagged. Who in their right mind would accept that deal? A 92 overall for a prospect and a healthy scratch fwd? It would be nice if I could block all trades with no players 90+ overall or something because this is getting ridiculous.

One of my best players (crowther,95) has the mercenary trait, but when I try to sign him (I just offered him a deal) he says he will think about a 3.5m/yr deal. Yeah, 3.5m in duster is enough to get a good player, but a 95 with that trait should be asking for 5-6 mill. I only traded for him as a rental player, and now since he is still relatively young, he may stay for a long time. If you go to free agency there are other players who are pretty high overall with mercenary but asking for small amounts of money. Im not complaining, I got a good player for 3 yrs for a good salary, but the contract situation in this game is getting a little out of hand. Some players ask for almost nothing, look at my team, the only player signed to quite a lot is my goalie (4.5m). All my top of the line superstars are signed to 3-4m. I even have 2 92 overall guys signed to 2.4m! I feel that good players should ask for way more especially if they have the mercenary trait. The same thing goes on with the angels in my league, Scholar is one of the best guys on their team is signed 2.8m 4 yrs. The salary cap is 60m, just imagine how much of a quality team you can build if you only look for these players! I feel 95+ should ask for approx. 5-6m and 95+ with mercenary should ask for approx. 7-8m. Thoughts?

Yeah, the problem is it isn't rare, it happens every couple games.

Dont know bout you bit ive never seen a single team get 15 penalties in real life... Most ive seen was 8 once

+1 Would be great to know when we can finnaly properly develop our prospects. Now theres for very good teams no point of signing prospects, id rather have a very good player than 2 good prospects. Even if you sign the prospect, he is gonna be scratched all season long But thats getting off the topic, so in other words, it would be nice to know when exactly these things will be added

Plus your point about not trading free agents for a year is a great idea! It would stop people from signing the players with most value and trading them for superstars

The real fix to the problem is to make young players who will be future 95 overalls not going to sign 12 yr 3.5m contracts

But making the salary cap higher would only make exp players able to sign more guys! Imagine if the sal cap was 70m, look how many guys i can sign. I could almost make a full 90+ squad

Its actually real easy to be a 4-8 spot team in 1 season of work. I kind of got lucky when I built my team the same way, but free agency can give your team tons of value to trade away, and in a couple years of building you will have a good team. Teams rise and fall up and down the standings every couple years just like real life, just look at your team. Some of your playets got older and worse or asked for too much so you cant sign em. If you ask me, i kind of like it. If duster had way more people, this prosess would be awesome

Mines set on hard, but it happens more i get the powerplays then penalty kills. Only real gritty guy on my teams vannotte so that must be why. Everyone else is just there for skill

Most of the time penalties are fine. But every couple games you get eventually theres one where a team has over 10 penalties. Anyone else noticing this?

This could be a really really hard thing to add, but maybe sometime in the far future, we can get an app or something for phone/tablet users. It would be great because I know personally I use my phone alot to check the game results and switch goalies when im not at home. An app would also help bring more people to the game. Thoughts?

What I meant 3 days in real time is in every game world for the 3 preseason days it would be a 24 hr timer. Slow worlds already have this, but other worlds need it too. This is kind of 2 added features in one because some people wont use PTO, but maybe want to try their younger players against the best of the best.

Maybe make preseason 3 days in real time, then make the feature of PTO signings only available in preseason? It would make it so you need to either sign full time or release by the end of the season. Preseason should be like this because now its basicly just confidence boost which isn't what I think its supposed to be. Watching nhl preseason, players are fighting for roster spots, and usually just a couple players are playing for confidence.

It would be nice to have preset vacations if you need to take one. For example, in a couple days i have to go on a 3 day school trip. If i let my GM do a regular vacation, my team will be trading everyone while im gone. In order to fix this i need to turn everyone on untradable. This is going to be a pain, so it could be cool if we could add a screen where you can take a vacation, set if you want assistant to do trades and signings or not, set if assistant edits lines, and set if assistant rotates goalie. Thoughts?

It would be nice to be able to sign players to a approx 10 game tryout contract. Sometimes when you look for a 4th line player or backup goalie, it gets hard to get a good one. With backup goalies, sometimes the stats don't matter, and they can be either a 94 save % goalie or 80 save % goalie. Its all in confidence I think, but still, if you sign a backup goalie to like 2 or 3 mill, and they do garbage, it can get hard to trade them. Thoughts?

I know that it is legal to have 1 account per world, but its kind of a pain in the butt to make a new email to join a separate world. It would be cool if we could just have to choose a new password or something so you would have 2 accounts with the same email but would have to put in different passwords for access to each one.

It would be awesome to have coaches added and have them contribute to success in a game. You would need to have a very good coach to build a championship team. Make the better the coaches are the bigger effect they will have in games. Look at the Toronto maple leafs. They have a team that shouldn't even have 5 wins and they are actually looking like they will be a playoff competitor down the line. The roster is not very good, full team of 3rd and 4th and liners with a couple guys who could play 2nd line on a good team. But their head coach, Babcock has pushed them through by improving things like puck possession and special teams. A coach's contract wont contribute to the salary cap, but you have to be a good team to afford a good coach. It would be awesome to have something like this added, because some teams with what should be awesome special teams go like 0/7 for powerplay and get scored on 4/4 on penalty kill. A coach in this game should help special teams and puck possession, along with defencive positioning just like in real life. A good coach in this game should also be able to increase player morale if they like him. What do you guys think about this idea?
