UAT is a separate game world, actually it's the testing ground for new features before they hit the regular game.

No problem Pending UFA's salary caps should not stay on the books (even halved) next season. You'll see their salaries on your books for this season, but once Day 1 rolls around that money should clear off the books.

Congrats on your first promotion! Unfortunately, it is not possible to trade/sign players during the playoffs. It is possible to re-sign your players though.

Ahhh, the struggles of promoting. I've been there. You will not get your salary cap bump until Day 1 of next season. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer as to why.

It's alive!!! All is well, thanks Anders!

I used the same email/password in UAT Mitts as my old Mitts team, not sure if this is causing a problem in UAT. When I log in to UAT now, it still directs me to my new team that was auto-assigned (Solvay Stealth in BHL) not my old team (Bushong Hill Giants in GHL). Should I deactivate my Solvay Stealth account and sign up again? Will that work to get my Bushong Hill Giants back?

Are we able to take over our old Mitts teams in UAT Mitts? I tried logging in with my old Mitts username/password in UAT and the account was not found, so I had to create the account and (by default) take over a new team in the BHL. My old Mitts team was the Bushong Hills Giants in the GHL.

I've heard of octopuses on the ice but not crickets.

Touché

Montreal Canadiens, anyone?

Welcome, JBizzle! Mint-Syrup responded to your question in the chat window, check it out.

It would definitely be a nice feature. I wouldn't be surprised if we see it implemented down the road.

I like your ideas and outlines, IneffableLeafs, keep it up! I know affiliate leagues are definitely coming, not sure about loans though.

Ice Hockey for the NES was one of the best hockey games ever!

The game currently includes Ukrainian and Belarusian players. I wouldn't be surprised if other nationalities are added down the road.

Good start to the guide, thanks rainsilent! One thing, isn't playing the off-wing a matter of preference?

"One question though, was this a change in the recent patch or something, because I remember my friend doing the same thing to get the first overall pick a few years ago." The switching of SHL/GHL promotion/relegation picks and lottery have been in effect since the draft was instituted, IIRC.

I guess the trick is to trade with the GHL team that finishes the season in 14th place, they avoid relegation, or trade with the SHL team that finishes 1st because they will be promoted. Both have a good shot at the earning the first overall pick, however this is not a guarantee. There is a lottery system, so even the 14th place team in GHL and 1st place team in SHL may not get the first overall pick. As with any trade, it's a gamble.

Welcome, IneffableLeafs! While GPHM lacks the visual bells and whistles of NHL 16, I find GPHM to be much more in depth. Both games are good though! I enjoy the community of GPHM, other human managers are much more intuitive than AI.

It is not.

Hey Krafty, welcome! Your avatar looks cool. What is it supposed to be?

They don't come any closer than that Golden Cup Final! All one goal games!

I had to do some digging, but found the thread. Here you go... http://forums.gmgames.org/topic/5089-depth-chart/

There was discussion before about a depth chart for players, which would be similar to having a second lineup. There's no news of this feature being added to the game, at least not any time in the near future. It's a good idea nonetheless! Keep the suggestions coming!

Welcome, MaxPower! You'll find these forums have a lot of helpful information about the game. And, of course, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
