    Kyle44 reacted to PT101 in END/ROLES + PROTECTING DRAFTED CPU PLAYERS + UFA Suggestions   
    I'd like to make another suggestion for Andres.

    Can we please do something to protect CPU teams in particular from Human teams using loopholes to get them out of their high 1st overall selections? We have one team in particular who's figured out a formula in order to trade for most of the best ones, and I mean he's traded for at least 3-4 of them including the 2nd overall selection just this season without paying a lot for them. These players should be auto protected till they are signed. They seemed to be auto protected once they do sign however, but not right after the draft as a prospect.

    Second, if you wanted a better result in terms of End usage AND role usage.  I would suggest limiting 1 player used in lines 1-4 (and role back the End a bunch) Why? because a lot of people will cheat the expected role usage by playing them more often in the lines (say 3 and 4) which keeps the player happy despite wanting 2nd line.

    I'm also finding that the current END levels are too harsh. I have one player in particular (58 END) who has low end, but has only played on the PP in 6 games, and has gone from Red EXH to Orange TIR in that time. I also have a 99 Overall player who is unable to play 1 role in regular lines, PP and PK without dropping tiredness like a rock.

    END should be based on ability to play a max amount of mins per game and/or shift, while limiting 1 player per L1-4 would help with role usage, and overusage on multiple lines.

    =-==-=-=--=-==--==-=--=-==--==--=-=-==-=-=--=-=

    Lastly, I made a suggestion in terms of UFA's in that it would be nice to have an some more options. Having the ability to pick 1 of 3 players would be useful, but I'd also like to see the ability in that process for the sim to understand that only the highest offer of those 3 would count against the cap.

    So, priority based on order.

    D - Player 1, 5M,
    D - Player 2, 6M,
    D - Player 3, 7M,

    Sign 1 of 3. Cap allotment from cap,  7M only or
    Sign 2 of 3. Cap allotment from cap, 13M, etc

    It would allow for more flexibility when doing UFA, and it would allow a person to sign players on the first few days without having to re-attempt a few days in a row. I often find myself due to the cap, having to try for 5 or 6 days in a row just to sign 1 defender.

    Esp, now with the new waiver rule and trade rules
    .... it makes this an important suggestion I think.

    Its been discussed over on discord a little as well, but it would be extremely useful to have a limiter
    with a preferred order when UFA bidding. 

    For example, I need 1 center, but I need to try and sign 3 or 4. 
    So rather than accidently signing 3 or 4, you'd only get the 1 you needed in the order you like the players. 

    I often find myself getting more players than needed then attempting to waive or trade with a CPU 
    that believes I'm trying to rip it off by giving it talent I don't want (hah)

    Kyle44 reacted to AlexanderRasputin in Improved League History (Scoring Records etc)   
    Since we already track all player stats and records season by season, it is even clear post-reset that a historical league leaderboard is needed to make league seem more “living”.
    Many of us would see huge value and added motivation if the League History page displayed player categories like Most Career League Goals/Assists/Points  in a Top 20 format. 
     
    This could be extended to a team format as well, with categories like Team Wins in [League Level], clearer records like Most Wins in a Season, etc. 
     
    With elements like Team Stories and the blog becoming more active, these categories will let us keep better track on the league history and create more storylines to follow for our teams. 
     
    Anders, I hope this is something you consider adding, as this was mentioned multiple times by a fair number of managers.

    Kyle44 reacted to bremitt in recall and assign   
    Not sure if mentioned, so i will apologize if it has and I am just being redundant.

    The Process of having to go to a players page, let it load, click on assign/recall, let it load, then authorize that choice, then let it load, is rather annoying.

    Could it be possible to set it up so that when you are on your roster page, and you click on a player, and the pop up comes up with his ratings and traits, at the bottom, like how you can simply click on "add to shortlist" or "remove from shortlist" have another bottom that we can assign/recall that player? That way we can just quickly go down our roster list and do it all from one page in a much faster process.

    Kyle44 got a reaction from Walter A. Donaldson in Manage Affiliate   
    So I was wondering if, in the future, it would be possible for us to manage our affiliate teams too.  It kind of sucks when a free agent or bad player is getting better playing minutes over a prospect that I want to grow.  I also think it would make the developing system a little better as if you want to work on a player's defense, you can play them in a more defensive role as opposed the the computer tossing them wherever.  I know training is partially available to do this, but being able to make a player more well-rounded in the aspects we want would be cool by setting up and managing affiliate team lines.
     
    Also, I saw in a different forum, the idea of adding national teams.  To expand on that, having a world cup would be really cool and it would also add something else for us to follow when our team gets eliminated from the playoffs, as there is only so much you could do with scouting and contracts at the end of the season.
     
    Just a couple of suggestions.  Hope to see these added, but otherwise, I've been liking 2.0 so far

    If you're a whisky drinker and got some cash to spend I'd suggest Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Bowmore single malt is great, but also pricey. If you want something to enjoy more often, Famous Grouse is a good choice.
     
    From mixed drinks, I always choose Jack n' Coke. Better taste result than any rum I've ever tried with coke. I know rum n' coke is a thing, but I like my rum straight.
     
    From rums I like to go for the smoother ones, which means spiced mixes. Captain Morgan Spiced Gold and Negrita Golden Spice are both great ones to down while going through FA's during off season. 
     
    From whisky liquors Southern Comfort is the way to go. Sweet and easy.

    Good European absinthe (I like German, i.e. Eichelberger) - or Slivovice (Czech plum liquor).

    Fair warning - either is not for everyone. You drink a little cup, then another little cup, and very suddenly (and irreversibly) your night becomes a lot more interesting.

    We need more off-topic posts around here. 
    I am pretty boring when it comes to booze, tbh.  My tastes are similar to what you listed above.  My typical go-to is American whiskey/bourbon or beer.  I've been getting away from beer recently as I tend to like the darker, hoppy beers, but recently drinking one of those feels like I just ate a 32 oz. prime rib on top of a pound of pasta.  My biggest decision is usually whether to drink the bourbon with coke, ginger ale or straight.  If I want to mix things up I'll have a vodka and sprite - or vodka and red bull.
    If made right, an Old Fashioned is really good.  I just never have all the ingredients and don't like spending more than 15 seconds preparing my drink.  If no one is looking, I'll add a splash of cranberry and wedge of lime to my vodka-sprite.  And maybe once a month I'll have a glass of red wine with a meal (but not something I would drink without food and I don't think this is what you're going for).
    Tequila and rum are also good, but haven't had either of them in years.  Amaretto, Sambuca and Drambuie are really good, but after a few shots you get sick of em.  The only things I absolutely would not drink are gin and white wine... or something fruity with umbrellas in it, unless I'm on a tropical island somewhere, in which case it would be the first thing I ordered.

    Yeah, that’s always been inconsistent. I don’t think new managers should be able to take over GHL teams as a rule, but I have seen it happen.
     
    Give it a shot and if no luck, email support and ask what is up. This is a good team available and deserves an active manager.

    Kyle44 reacted to Wick Schozen in Playoff finish in team stats   
    Can we please do away with this "Playoff 1" "Playoff 2" business for where a team finished their season? I have no idea if playoff 1 or 2 is a first round exit or what. And I'm almost 100% certain that playoff 2 is a first round exit which makes absolutely zero sense. Could we not switch it to "Round 1", "Round 2", "Round 3", and then "Lost in GHL Cup final" or "Golden Cup Winner" depending on result. 

    It's such a minor detail but when looking at other teams it takes so much away by not being able to decipher some abstract description of how they did in the playoffs.
