I've been meaning to add all countries. Just haven't got around to do it yet. It's coming soon.

Great idea. I'll add it to my backlog. Thanks

Here are some flaws in the game that I've found and want to fix pretty soon
* A team can survive with very few players on the roster. That means that you can afford to many great players without suffering any consequences. This can be fixed by increasing injuries to a more realistic level and increasing endurance loss for players with a lots of ice time.
* Great goalies have a unrealistic impact on the team. Some goalies have ridiculous stats.
* There might be unbalanced regarding tactics. Any tactics using physical and spirit ratings have too great advantage today.
* Natural talents develops to fast. Many players in the high speed worlds are already hitting 99 in multiple ratings.

Yes I'm aware that Succasunna is pretty much unbeatable. I know the manager of the team and he is very experienced so I'm not surprised, but his success have sure revealed a couple of flaws in the game. Which in all means is great. The game is still a prototype so I'm counting on it to have both flaws and to be unbalanced in some ways.
I have some ideas for updates that I'm planning to install soon. Can not promise that it will make it perfect but hopefully it will balance the game in the right direction.
But if you look at the team's roster (Succasunna) it's obvious that it should be a great team that have a terrific chance of winning each season. So I can't change that =)
Please have a little more patience. I sure don't want to lose you in the game.

Yes I agree. It would be a nice feature to browse complete stats from past seasons. All stats are saved so it is no problem to add this feature in the future. I'll add this to my backlog
No, you can't see other game worlds at the moment.

Awards is a high priority. Hoping to introduce this soon.
You can already check most shutouts in goalie stats on league view. But I'll look into adding one "best" view also
-
Yes, I have actually had that thought too. That can be applied on free agents as well, where you won't see all ratings until you've scouted them. I think that adding staff to the game really could add another dimension.

Good point
Best lines should never be "the best lines". It should be a good suggestion but should leave room for improvements by the GM.
I also want to make the suggestion dependent on the assistant manager/coach's rating.

No, I agree, I'm not trying to create another P2W game. It's going to be challenge to create a "Premium" account that is attractive enough so people are happy to spend their hard earned money. It might not be enough to just be able to change jersey coulors and so on.
A donation system is a great idea, I'll look in into that. Thanks
-
Yes, you're right. This is a feature I want to include when releasing the possibility to hire staff.

Well, as of now the game isn't making any money at all. It is still in a prototype status. But you're right, if I'm going to keep on improving the game I need to put in more hours. And then I need to find a way to finance my effort. And you're right again, I actually have an idea to introduce for some type of 'Premium' accounts where users can access more features in the game. This way I can keep the game free to play.

I would love to include trades, and it's on my to do. I'm currently thinking of how to best handle transfers between teams in different leagues. It would not be realistic for players to accept a trade to a lower league level so as you said Nicck37 you could limit trades to the same league. But I'm also thinking of creating a different type of game world that is more North American influenced that the one today. This new game world should include both trades, affiliate teams and drafts.
Hopefully I can release something soon. Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, you are right AY-BR. All city names are small villages or places that no way could host a large hockey team =). It's actually from a writers database over cities names to include in novels when you don't want to use familiar cities. I felt this would be a good way to create a team with a fresh but realistic name and not to associate it with any existing hockey team.
But I'll add your request Harper1998 to my backlog. Thanks for your feedback.

Good point. And I think you're right, it just might be a European vs North American thing.

This thread is most welcome! Just let me know of every typo and bad grammar you'll find!
Thanks AY-BR, that would be great. I'm looking into adding more languages in the near future and a french translation would be awesome. I let you know when the game has support for more languages.

I don't think that your goalie's poor puck handling skills was the only reason of his bad performance but it could have been one major factor. But I'll have a closer look on how much the puck handling skill may influence the game result when facing an opponent with Dump and chase tactic. Even though it's not meant to be a game changer on it's own it's there for a reason, a goalie with great puck handling skills should do better than a goalie with poor puck handling skills, especially when facing Dump and chase tactic.
Fast defensemen could be one way to help goalies with poor puck handling. This I will look into. Great idea. Thanks.
