    Calculated on day 7 of S14, using:
     
    Team OVR = (OFF + (DEF x 2) + (SG x 2))/26
     
    where
    OFF = Combined overall of 12 best centers/forwards
    DEF = Combined overall of 6 best defenders
    SG = Overall of starting goalie (best overall goalie in team)

    Hello everyone.
     
    I took over Tullahoma Tomcats in BHL and have been trying to strengthen and balance the team to climb up in the standings. Was in 14th place when I started and relegation is not an option. This game sure is the ultimate manager experience.

    Wendel Clark reacted to Erzac in Player salaries & cap (bug?)   
    I'll keep hammering at this a little more.
     
    Superstar contracts should take at least 10% of cap space making those players a real commitment cap-wise. Currently in Biscuit GHL there are exactly 2(!) players that take over 10% of cap space. (With many star players taking much closer to 5%)
    A ratio of 0,125 players/team.
     
    Compare this to the NHL:
    In NHL there are currently 30 players that take up 10% or more of a team's cap.
    A ratio of 0,968 players/team. Almost eight times higher ratio than in Biscuit GHL currently.
     
    Not saying this game should try to model the NHL, but clearly a change is needed to make the cap space an actual factor in decision-making.

    Wendel Clark reacted to Erzac in Player salaries & cap (bug?)   
    Would just like to bump this thread a little as I see this as a huge issue and it's not being talked about much.
     
    Many players across the board in GHL take significant pay cuts in their extensions regardless of age, skill or production. It's more of a rule than an exception.
    A player should never agree to a pay cut unless his production or skills are clearly declining/not worth his current contract.
     
    Currently if you get your hands on a player (in GHL), you will never have to let him go unless you want to (barring relegation/retirement), which really takes away from the managing experience. Having realistic extension demands from players would at least alleviate the problem by making cap space a real issue.

    Wendel Clark reacted to Paul T in Another One Way Question   
    I had asked pretty much the same question here:  http://forums.gmgames.org/topic/8757-1w-contract-after-being-traded-down/
     
    I'm in SHL and acquired a player from a GHL team earlier this season who did not have a 1W/PC and after the trade, he had a 1W/PC contract.  But I have also seen other players go from GHL to SHL and not have 1W/PC contracts after.
     
    After digging into it a bit further, it seems like most players traded down a league will have their salary adjusted accordingly and take on a 1W/PC contract.  In the rare cases where the players did not take on a 1W/PC contract, their salary was not adjusted... and in both cases it appears they were originally SHL players who were not on 1W/PC contracts, so when traded to GHL, their salary did not adjust.... then when traded back to SHL their salary did not adjust.
     
    Follow me?
     
    So the short answer is no, this is not a bug.  Players who are traded down a league will have their salary adjusted and take on a 1W/PC... which seems like a fair trade off.
     
    *players on their Entry-Level contract will not get the 1W/PC.

    Wendel Clark reacted to Paul T in Move message REPLY button to top of page   
    Wondering if it's possible to move the REPLY button when messaging between managers to the top of the page.  Currently it sits at the bottom of the page.  There are a handful of other managers who I message with sometimes multiple times per day.  Once you are 6-7 messages deep, you find yourself scrolling down the page through all the messages before you can reply... and if you are using your phone, sometimes you can't even get to the reply button.  I feel like moving the button to the top of the page would make it just a bit more user friendly.  Just a thought.

    Wendel Clark got a reaction from Steve in Tactic Familiarity   
    I changed most of the tactics when I took over the team, and here are the number of games it took for tactic familiary bars to rise.
     
    From starting red to minimum orange: 11 games
    From minimun orange to minimum blue: 7 more games, total of 18 games
    From minumum blue to minimum green: 6 more games, total of 24 games
    From minimum green to full green: 5 more games, total 29 games.
     
    There might or might not be degrees to full green. When I originally changed tactics, it took several matches for the previous full green bars to visibly drop. If I'd switch now after just receiving full green bar, I have a hunch it might drop right away. I'm not gonna test it though.
