I cant recall Lafferty When i am trying to recall him this text appears This can't be good The site is obviously not behaving properly. It might work if you try again but if it doesn't please create a post at the bug reports section of the forum It must be only Lafferty because when i recalled Hooper back to fill him it worked just fine.

Season started and i had to pull Lafferty out since the bug haven't still been solved. Little disapointed and this don't really seem fair i understand that there might be lots of other bugs also what needs to be fixed, but still it kinda feels unfair to be only team in my league whose player wont play the games out of no reason... Lafferty was important player for me since he was only decent 2way defender on that side what i had + he is only one with true leader trait so i would really like this guy to be able to come back and be captain.

2nd practise game played and Lafferty still not playing. Hope it gets fixed fast, Lafferty only One in my team who has true leader trait and would be great to have 6 defenders instead of 5.

Here is the player http://www.gameplanhockey.com/player?gpid=34758 And here is the game http://www.gameplanhockey.com/game?gpid=174704

Matthias Lafferty my 3rd Line defender and my team captain is some reason scratched and i have placed this player in my 3rd Line 1 Day before the practise games even started. Everything should be correct but my guy is just not playing for some reason. Biscuit GHL York wolf pack

For some reason my captain is not playing and i have placed him in my starting squad

The more i read this post and think about the affiliate system i am also starting to feel that the waivers would solve many issues. Everything else that i have in my mind i have said it already in my previous messages in this post. From now i start wait and hope that this discussion would lead to some actions in near future.

Would it be horrible idea if managers could make offers to players who play in affiliate team? - I still think that teams should be able to protect its own prospects for a certain amount of time after signed to the affiliate team, like 3 seasons? - Players acquired from Fa should be open for all to give offers, and i think it should be the player who decides if he will accept, not the manager who owns the right's. Ofc there could be protection time for Fa players also, Maybe 1 season? - Players should stack unhappines if they are kept in the affiliate team a certain amount of time, and that should have effect will the player accept offer from another manager or not. Or if the player wants to make extension contract with the current manager. - I still think that the 10% of the contract salary paid for affiliate team player is way too low. I think that if the number would be 20-30% the unnecessary player hoarding from Fa would go down considerably, and the managers should have still enough money to keep their prospects.

No i don't think that rewarding any manager would benefit anyone, i am only hoping that the game would be equal for everyone no matter what league or how long they have played the game. Now i think its too much unbalanced, that's why i made this post and to share my opinion for everyone to see if i am only one feeling this way. Maybe together we can find solution what benefits egualy everyone. I think that majority likes the idea of affiliate team ass do i, but i think that some adjustments has to be made. Also its hard for me to imagine that this would settle down anytime soon because teams can now hold the players in their affiliate teams and new players joining in the FA if minimal because of this. If some adjust is not made for the affiliate system like releasing new patch of players for FA, this problem is going to stay in the game a long time.

When i started This game i were in IHL league. By studying the game and trying to understand how the game engine works i was able to raise in GHL fairly quick. Big part why i was able to succeed is because there was good selection of players in FA, and i knew what kind of players i need and want in my team. Don't get me wrong, i have never had a team that was good in player overalls. I have always been underdog by looking only the overalls. But in my opinion this game is much more than player overalls (were). Now the Fa is full off old players and players with super bad traits. If there would be a manager who would be able to climb to higher leagues knowledge wise but he is unable to do so because there is no players left to build even somewhat decent team, why would he bother to continue playing this game? Should he wait 4 seasons to get the players he needs from youth draft? and wait 4 more seasons that they develops enough to get in the team? Managers who have played longer should not be awarded by cost of the lower league teams. It would be great if there would be more leagues in the future, and much more teams in one server. But making that happen we need new players who wants to stick and commit in this game for long term. Its hard for me to think that anyone new would like to continue playing this game when they know that most likely they get ass kicked for the first 12 moths. And starting from LIHL climb to GHL looks unreal. I really like the affiliate idea, and the fact that i can hold my drafted prospects and don't need to let them go in FA only because they weren't nearly ready in main team is awesome. But at the same time how the affiliate system works atm favors GHL way too much, i feel like i am winning by cheating now. And the fact that i cant even compete with another same league manager for FA players if he is getting the player in affiliate and i am not is REALLY negative. Like i said this kinda feels like winning with cheats, i don't know about rest of you guys but for me this is not a positive effect. Would be great to have a bigger community and player base for this game but its hard to imagine happening like this.

Even If teams are playing in the same league, but the other team knows he will assing the player in affiliate he can easily double the asked salary. Manager who would give the player spot in the actual team cant ever offer salary like that. How the affiliate system works atm is having a really negative effect for the whole game it self.

Well Lets start this like this, i am happy to be in GHL. I think that i would stop playing this game if i would get promotion example from IHL to BHL. Only because the game is impossible for the teams who are getting promoted, also unfair for everyone who is not playing in GHL. I see GHL teams sign players with 72 overall from free player market only because they are almost free when you place them in affiliate team. I mean cmon its the same thing if you would pay the player with peanuts. You can keep the player in your affiliate team like 15 years only to see if he someday becomes something. And if not, no harm is done. meanwhile managers in lower leagues are in struggle when there is only trash players left in the market. I lose 84 overall center to a team who already had 10 centers in the roster, and my guy were not even close getting in the top 4. Its one thing to make huge overpay for 1st liner, but this i don't understand. This is complete abuse of the affiliate system. Hogging all the players from free market and put them in affiliate team almost free, so others wont get them, or maybe cause in 10 years the player might have a shot getting in the main team if he develops fast enough. I can easily live with the matter that it seems to be impossible for me to sign a decent center from market if i wont overpay big time. But all this player hogging and system abuse from top teams is ruining the game from everyone who is playing lower leagues. I think we all know what will happen when GHL and SHL team are trying to sign the same player. When i did read about the affiliate teams first time i was pumped. Thinking that this would add so much fun for this game, now i have a place where i can keep my top prospects a couple more years until i give them a fair change in my main team. Oh boy i was wrong. Looks like all somewhat good players from SHL and BHL are going in to the GHL managers affiliate teams from now on. Promoted teams R.I.P Again like i said, glad to be in GHL. And all those who are not, good luck trying to build a proper team. -Jiri From York Wolf pack.

Hey, i am manager of York wolf pack and i just got promoted to GHL. My team needs to be re made so other managers in GHL, if you need space in your salary cap or you just wanna get rid of someone, hit me up and we might be able to figure something out. I see that couple managers have been heavily exceeded their salary cap in this season, so it might not be a bad idea that we would help each other's out a bit.

Got promoted in SHL and i was emptying my last season players to lower league and asked besicly nothing, 3rd and 2nd round draft's for my players who i do not need and who are dead weight in my team eating my salary cap. I was thinking that this is the way to make room in my salary cap so i could sign players from free market to have a little chance to compete in my new league. Seems that i have made 2 many unbalanced trades and my account is locked now. Feels really great making the only logical solution and getting punished by it. Only thing i gained was more pace in my salary cap and the other team got players from me and not the free market, win win for both sides, i mean i am happy to give couple 70+ players even if i only get 3rd round draft pick from BHL but the AI seems to think this is abuse on my part to give them too good players for bad draft pick's. #Seasonruined #Thegameisperfect#gettingpunished for doing the only logical thing#Byebye dreams of succes this season#Preseasonruined#There is nothing wrong in the trades forr lower league. Much love from former manager of york wolf pack, (hoping not former) But seems that my season is ruined anyways no matter what, dont know if i am even getting back the controll of my team. Gotta love this system.

Ok now its confirmed, player happines status Will reset after you make a New contract with him. But if he is not willing To negotiate with you, well your basicly fuckd. I advice everyone To consider carefully if your thinking To trade a unhappy player in your team.

http://www.gameplanhockey.com/player?gpid=4615 http://www.gameplanhockey.com/player?gpid=4565 http://www.gameplanhockey.com/player?gpid=4448 These guys for example. I traded them from another team and their happines Was just like That. Its kinda stupid if you ask me, player feels ignored and wants To change the club, but after That the happiness status still wont change. Im pretty sure that its not the money or that they would wanna move a bigger club because there are own happines status for those ones. For me this feels like bad programming cause happiness status stays Same after player changed the team (feels ignored, wants To leave the team), This has happened for me with every player Who had that happines status. Players are basicly useless until someone wont remake their contract and they Come free agents, after that I think that feels ignored status Will golf away. OH and I am pretty sure that (feels ignored, wants To leave the club) comes when you dont give enough ice time for the player. Correct me if I am wrong but this is how I see the situation and for my opinion it is Huge programming mistake, and makes the trading useless for the smaller teams Who could take better Players for bigger teams what they dont need. Huge flaw in trading system. Last season I played +20 games with player Who I traded from another team Who had this status maxed, I gave him Best play times and happines status didnt change att all in whole season.

I think that the player happiness is a bit broken in this game, correct me if I am wrong. - I have made many trades cause i basicly had to re make my whole team cause i moved in to higher division. Some of the players i traded from other teams were unhappy and said like this - FEELS IGNORED - WANTS TO LEAVE THE CLUB- . I was pretty sure that this would not be a problem cause the player got traded away and is playing for new team now. Well after the trades was done in the preseason i was little confused that the players were still unhappy, and felt ignored. I am still making my team and getting players where i can, but this feels like ripoff, haven't got time to play even 1 game with my new roster and majority of my players are pissed me already after being only 1-3 days in my team. IS THIS A BUG OR WHAT? OR AM I MISSING SOMETHING???

Hey all I am pretty new manager in this site and just finished my 1st season and ended up 2nd in IHL so next season I will be going BHL. I did little research and noticed that i have 0 players who could actually compete in BHL lvl, so this means that I should pretty much remake my whole team, to have any change at least stay in the league. If Anyone has any advice for new manager how I should start making my new roster all tips welcomed. Also if you need team where you can dump your player's who could compete with BHL level but are no use to you, for example to make space for your salary cap hit me up with trade offers. I don't think I actually have anything good to trade you back but I am open to negotiation's. PS I don't think its wise for starting manager to trade away her prospect's or draftpic's so I might be a little stingy giving those away.
