IneffableLeafs

I agree, making trades is very tedious in this game and takes a lot of time. Expanding the "Assistants Notes" section of the "New Trade" menu to include what Renegades said would definitely make the game more user-friendly and for sure would increase trade offers as a result. +1

I think adding player loyalty would be a good addition to the game because good players that you draft can become your franchise cornerstones, sign for less money, and ultimately lead your team to the Golden Cup, promotion, etc. For example, you draft or trade for a prospect lets say at 55 overall. The player in 5 seasons grows into a 79 rated player (hidden gem) and you are in the LIHL, IHL, BHL level. His happiness is not very high and his status is "Wants to move to a bigger club". After being at the club for 3-5 seasons, he departs for a SHL team for huge dollars. Very frustrating that they feed on smaller leagues like that. But, in the player's list of traits, you could add a loyalty section that for example is: Red- Traitor Orange- Treacherous Blue- Committed, Dedicated Green- Devoted Or something like the above. The loyalty section wouldn't affect game play much, but rather: Help team morale.Increase the chances of a star wanting to stay with your club, or wanting to wait for your offer first before choosing another club in free agency.Player may help other's morale by convincing them to stay, giving them pep talks (similar to leadership traits).Makes them want to sign long-term contracts.Make their morale drop when they are scratched because they feel 'betrayed' if they are loyal.Makes their captaincy give them boosts in both morale and skills.Would help with teams (especially in the lower leagues) to get promoted with players able to compete one division above, and create an overall better challenge, especially for teams in the relegation playoff and such.Et cetera. You could have a cornerstone like Doan, Modano, Sakic, Yzerman, Lidstrom, or Brodeur for a decade before they regress and go to a lower league/worse team. Or you could have a journeyman like Jagr, Sillinger, Nolan, Gilmour, Roenick, or Pronger for one season before they move to another club in a similar division. I've only played this game for a few weeks now but I think this would be a great addition to the game. What do you guys think? (Correct me if this already exists, I'm new and haven't had time to look at the change log)

Just a thought, adding more player nationalities could be nice. Rarely, you get a player from an odd country that turns out to be good, so I was thinking you guys could add a few more nationalities. Examples: Ukraine- Ruslan Fedetenko, Alexei Ponikarovsky Belarus- Mikhail Grabovski, Kostitsyn Brothers Kazakhstan- Nikolai Antropov Poland- Mariusz Czerkawski, Wojtek Wolski Netherlands- Daniel Sprong (Sprong is only a prospect but I think he has a good future) Also, I believe the KHL is expanding to China, so that could be an addition as well. It might just be me stressing over this because I'm part Polish and there are no Polish players in the game, but I think it could add to the realism of each gaming world, assuming you just put these players in existing leagues (Russian, Czech, or German). Once again, just a thought.

Hi Game Plan Hockey Managers, I manage the Montmorency Vortex in the IHL. I live in Toronto and am a Leafs fan. From how much I've played so far, this game looks much better than NHL 16's GM mode. I found the game through gmgames.org.
