    GoodMeanshelf got a reaction from Big-Bobby Clobber in Season 3 World Cup Of Hockey (Mitts)   
    thought of something cool, since the game doesn't by default have international competitions, I could put the players into nhl 16 and try and sim a group stage + playoff of this. I will try and plan it out. There will be 8 GM/coaches asked to join, there will be 2 groups.
     
    GROUP A      GROUP B
    TEAM1           TEAM5
    TEAM2           TEAM6
    TEAM3           TEAM7
    TEAM4           TEAM8
     
    Each team will match up 2 times. 4th in both groups go home, 1st passes 1st round by default, 2v3 in both groups. All of the playoff series will be best of 3.
     
    I don't know which countries I will chose to compete, probably same as official world cup of hockey.
     
    Would you guys be interested in doing this? Im not accepting anyone for a team yet, but if you guys are interested please say so in the comments so I know. Im not going to do this if no one wants to take part.

    In mitts our free agency will pass overnight for most members. That means the cpu teams will take everyone good, leaving even the most active members with nobody, I aint staying up until 5:00AM to sign a defenceman and a couple prospects. Maybe have members vote on a time, or just make every free agency at a certain time?

    GoodMeanshelf got a reaction from Steve in [Included v1.0.0] Goalie injuries   
    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

    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.

    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.

    GoodMeanshelf reacted to GoodMeanshelf in [Included v1.0.0] Players ask for almost nothing, mercenary sometimes has almost no effect.   
    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?

    Hiring of staff is a high prioritised feature that I've been wanting to add for quite some time now. I'm hoping to release this feature in the next couple of months. It's only on the sketch board yet, but it will most likely include hiring of coaches, scouts, doctors, agents.
     
    What a coach could add to the game is something like; game breakdowns player by player, boost training for players, team reports, suggestions of best lines, suggestions of game tactics.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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?

    GoodMeanshelf got a reaction from Chris in Preset GM vacations.   
    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?
