  1. First I have taken teams in Lumber from LIHL to SHL and in MItts from LIHL to GHL, so it not sour grapes. In lumber I had a really good free agent signing of 4 18-20 year olds in IHL(pre Affiliates). I rode those guys from IHL to SIlver in 4 years. When filling out my Silver roster I was sadden to see they couldn't make any of the lines. One guy was my Captain and had all green traits. I couldn't just leave the guys watching. I truly wanted to trade these guys down to BHL and see them do well. Looking down trying to make any kind of trade was very difficult. As an experiment take one of your assigned players and try to make a deal with a lower team and post what an accepted deal looks like. Turning the draft upside down probably isn't the answer, I do see that an 85 ovr player in IHL is broken, but an IHL or LIHL team should not be drafting guys that are 2 or 3 years from playing. Maybe the real problem is the floor for players is too low. In 13 seasons climbing through the leagues I was only able to trade 2 players to higher leagues. Free agents are the only way up. The affiliate system is lengthening the gap between the leagues. When you are promoted currently its a scramble to grab good enough free agents to compete. With 140 ish players in that league on the affiliates you are having a harder time getting competitive. Perhaps players that are assigned to an affiliate go through a waiver where the league below you can assume the contract and take the player. Assigning a promising player becomes dangerous.
  2. The draft order should be reversed. LIHL should get the first picks, etc down the line. There is absolutely nothing for the lower level clubs to offer higher teams. If they had the first draft picks they might could swing a couple of the locked away players on assigned teams. At the very least, it should be every teams 1st round picks then move on to all the second round picks then thirds. Everyone should play an LIHL or IHL team for a bit. The only bargaining chip you ever get is an over performer that may fit the 3rd line of the league above you, in his contract year and he is asking for triple his current salary. The assigned players has made this even worse. Not only do we not have anything to offer, players that could play for us are locked on assigned teams.
  3. I've logged in and out multiple times. I did recently switch from Lumber to Clapper.
  4. Is there a delay in getting All-Star functionality when taking on a new team? The manager screen lists me as all-star, but the team screen has account type free. Clapper - IHL- SouthSide Spartans
  5. My powerplay has been pretty good with the Spread option. Granted I haven't been in the good leagues yet, but I can say it was best for my teams up to Bronze so far. Picking above average Phy,Skt and one High Sht. Defenders with highest Pas ans Sht.
  6. So I am being promoted, and trying to renew a contract before the season has ended, but after all regular games have ended. Do the player request take into account the new league. ex 700,000 with a PC, after the promotion would that be 2.8 mil?
  7. We all know a red oval on the roster is an injured player, instead of putting INJ in the field, why not put the expected length of injury there. Currently we have to go to the plyer page and then the form tab. A delete all messages in team and manager would be helpful as well.
  8. This happened in Chrome. I opened with Firefox and the error did not occur.
  9. Trying to switch #2 goalie for #1 goalie. I get an error invalid slot for player
  10. I extended two contracts and that night both were injured. Seems like the chances are pretty high of that happening??
  11. Would it be possible to send managers an email anytime a league is coming back up after a period of down time? I'm mainly thinking about major 4+ day fixes. The last MItt fixes lulled me to sleep and I missed the first 3 game days of contacts.
  12. Thats why I brought up the second number. So say you had the Center position, you would fill in 6? numbers 37,45,67,12,14,83 The computer would fill them in in that order, or if it would be clearer player 37 would be C1, player 45 C2 etc. Right now the computer can't shuffle lines. The best it can do is pick the best available for the slot open. If players were ranked by position it could then shuffle lines.
  13. The only problem with stopping a new person from switching teams, is they have no idea what kind of team they are getting currently. When I started I wanted to try an old Philly style bruiser team. I was handed a bunch of twigs with puck control. I switched my play style and basically had to throw away a whole season. If that happened to me now, I would drop the team and keep looking till I got a physical team.
  14. I do this by changing player numbers. Lefties are odd and righties are even. I then do a quick ranking by overall value and adjust by specific values I value more highly. When there is an injury, I can shuffle lines by player numbers. So if 43 is injuried 45 steps up, if 49 is the next lefty I might go with 46 and keep shuffling the lines. If there was a second set of player numbers (I'm sure some people like certain jersey numbers), you could set up simple depth charts in this fashion. Rank your positions by number.
  15. Some bug adding to player numbers in the Player Stats Screen. See attached
  16. This happened in Lumber - Iron - Silex Storm as well.
  17. I like Lumber. I think 3 a day (9,3,9) with a 12 hour break would work well, but I'd pick 4 over 2.
  18. Thank you Based on that I think the names would better serve if they were Grinding line, Match Forwards, and Twoway
  19. It's dangerous, but I resigned and quickly went back in. Had to do it about 5 times till I got the same team, but it worked. Small chance of someone else getting the team.
  20. Curious about a few of the settings Offensively the Energy setting for the line (Looking for breakaways / stretch passes?) Defensively the Match Line - I set 2nd line to this and it appears to have shortened their time and increased Line 1. Are they only coming out to face the opponents 2nd Line offense? Dynamic - Is this sometimes offensive sometimes stay at home?
