Hey all. I'm Jon, manager of Deadwood Irishman in the IHL. We are having a super competitive season with 5 teams that look pretty even going at it, with a sixth creeping into the picture. I'm pretty bummed though, I just posted in the bug section, I made a trade and it got accepted and I put my new player in my line up but I lost last night and the number one star for the other team was the player that was supposed to be mine. He shows up on my roster but the game stats show the players on their old teams. He had a goal and an assist which were the difference in the game! It sucks because every point is going to count this season and I don't think I'm going to get those three back!!

I think it was mentioned somewhere, I believe by Anders, that it is your captains that prepare your team for opponents. So, if you get a lot of underestimating opponents you should probably think about switching around captainship.

You just changed my stat anylisis world!!

Nope. I have G,A,Pts,+/-,Pim,PPG,SHG,S,Ht,FO%,TOI,Per

They do? I mean on the player stat page on the team page, not on the game page. When I go to the team player stats that show stats for the full season I don't see giveaways, takeaways, and blocks. Am I missing something? Is there a way to toggle or something?

I'm sure someone else asked this, so I'm sorry if this has been addressed, but it would be cool if we could have giveaways, takeaways, and blocked shots on the player stats for the season. It would be nice to easily see how players are doing in these catagories as the season progresses. I also second the suggestion that we could someday sort the season stats on the player stat page over different periods of time so we can see if players are getting hot or cold or better after a change or worse.

Phew! I had a slight bit of panic. I honestly didn't want the promotion yet. I finished 5th in my league and don't feel my team is ready. Going to have to do some work this off season.

I just got promoted through the playoffs and the team I beat only has two draft picks. Does that mean I will only get two draft picks at the higher level? If I get all three, where would the other pick come from? It doesn't seem fair that I be penalized for a trade this team. I would rather not be promoted than lose the draft pick, have a crappy team, and get relegated next year and lose my one way contracts.

Right. I thought the point of this form was to suggest things that would improve the game. In my opinion, putting in a feature that stops me from having to keep a note book of trade offers would improve the game and my gaming experience.

If your team gets promoted that players salary will increase

I tend to forget what team I've offered which players. Once an offer gets rejected, as far as I can tell, there is no way to pull up this information. It would be really helpful if we could see our rejected trade offers so we can make sure not to send the same offer to the same team. Even if it was just for the current season.

It's 3/4 of the way through the season. Yes, I had changed defensive tactics 5 games or so prior because my results were inconsistent. Since those three horrible games I have won four straight but that's how the season has been going. I've just made a few trades, shedding great talent that wasn't going to sign with me next year for a better goalie. We'll see what that does for me!

I kind of getting disheartened. I feel there is almost too much to look at and nothing seems to really be working. I've lost my last three games, in two I've given up 7 goals, yet I've kept my opponents under 30 shots, they've had over 10 giveaways, I've had more take always, and all my players are (except the goalies) are blue and green. To top it all off, up until the last five games or so, my goalie was in the top three in the league in save % and GAA. I'm not sure what I have to do to win consistently.

On the player rating page there is a development graph. One says progress. How am I supposed to interpret this graph? Is that how close they are to maxing out in each skill for their career or is that showing the skills that will increase their next rating jump?

So if my defense performance scores are high and my goalie scores are low 60s and I'm still giving up a ton of goals I should adjust my tactics?

Is it fair to assume that if all my defenseman performance scores are in the 70s or higher (green or blue) and my goalie is 60s or lower (orange or red) that my goalie sucks? Or is it possible that the defenseman aren't playing the right tactics to support the goalie even though their performance scores are high?
