  1. Congratulations to everyone on another brilliant GHL season! As usual, discussions AND ADDITIONAL TROPHIES are welcome. You know the drill. GOLDEN CUP CHAMPION: SLAUGHTERVILLE RED TIDE (Alexander Rasputin) Conn Smythe Trophy (Playoff MVP): ARTEM PSCHENICHNIKOV (Red Tide) - 23 points - (13GP - 9G/14A/+18) An absolutely dominant performance from the sophomore offensive defenceman, involved in everything positive the team created, and putting up monster performances when it mattered, such as a 5-point game in the GHL cup final series.

  2. Thanks to both of you - this has been reported as a bug to Anders and will be looked at ASAP.
  3. Some nice men in Adidas suits came to my door and politely asked me to remove his picture.
  4. Hah yeah, I definitely like how my fellow Russians look like Russians.
  5. In my opinion, one interesting cosmetic feature GPHM is missing are player faces. Given how we as managers build relationships with our players and how player Traits play into developing that further, player faces are a logical next step. That said, this is a very challenging feature to integrate into the game, though I know Anders has thought about it. In the meantime, having played with it in the past, I decided to create FIFA - style player cards to commemorate my current GHL champion Red Tide squad. Not all players will be included, but the key figures are there. The player attributes are lifted straight from GPHM. The player faces - the interesting part - are all generated through an AI algorithm called a GAN (generative adversarial network). In other words, none of these are real people, except in my (and now your) mind, when playing GPHM. So rejoice - you now get to meet the players that you face on a weekly basis, in person. Images are attached - have fun. I certainly did, putting them together. If anyone wants to do something similar for their team, reach out - I'll see if I can help. Cheers! Alex
  6. Congratulations to everyone on an epic Season 7! As usual, discussions AND ADDITIONAL TROPHIES are welcome. You know the drill. GOLDEN CUP CHAMPION: SLAUGHTERVILLE RED TIDE (Alexander Rasputin) Conn Smythe Trophy (Playoff MVP): ROGER MULLER (Red Tide) - 18 points - (17GP - 9G/9A/+8) Following his breakout regular season, Muller continued to be hot in the playoffs, centering the Tide's most effective line, and playing a key role on both the PP and the PK. He led the team with 11 TKA, and shared the lead with 2 PPG and most combined special teams time.

  7. Also, upon further reflection, I don't even fully agree with the opinion that increasing team salaries will affect hoarding. It will affect average team strength and the ability of managers to stack their teams, sure - but what does it matter when you can sign the same player on a two-way 2M contract (instead of, say, 1M), and still stick him in the minors, and be on the hook for only 200K? A hard roster limit, in my opinion, is the only legitimate solution to this problem. Everything else won't have nearly as much of an impact.
  8. Don't disagree with skater limit and salary increases. But I think we are starting to veer off course. The intent of @zinnyzxx's original post was to highlight some examples of why teams promoting to GHL are currently f*cked when it comes to squad strength. Yes, the salaries are part of this, but there are two equally culpable elements: 1) Smart relegating managers trading away one-way assets ahead of time, preventing them from going to FA, and 2) Hoarding players. The former can't be fixed unless we do something with transfer windows. The latter - can. In the case of Fury above, the players aren't exactly GHL quality, and I have no problem with having a full AAHL-LEVEL team in the minors. Where I do completely support @zinnyzxx, is in the case of the other teams he mentioned, who have players in their minors who would walk into the top 6 of any recently promoted team. Yet, they are out of GHL rotation entirely, and the hoarding teams experience zero penalty, team confidence or otherwise, for keeping these players in AAHL - a league way below their level. It would be less egregious if the managers in questions actually DID something with those players, but more likely than not, they just stay in the minors for a significant portion of their careers, and maybe a few eventually make their way out. This is damaging to the in-game economy. It's one of many elements that contribute to this damage, to be sure - not the only one - but it is the simplest to fix, in my opinion. So let's give @zinnyzxx some support and have Anders set a roster limit.
  9. Roster limits is legitimately the only sane and easy solution to this and it should be implemented ASAP.

  14. These are super useful. Thanks for putting in all this work, the insight into the national teams is something that’s definitely missing in this game. Maybe Anders can look at this and finally implement national teams since you’ve done half the work here. May be worth asking him about it. Having a World Cup in the off-season would be extremely cool.
