The Tye Legions are henceforth known as the Superb Dutchmen (couldn't resist such an opportunity )

Yes that's true, goalies may get hurt even for longer periods. But it's very rare.

Hiring of staff is a high prioritised feature that I've been wanting to add for quite some time now. I'm hoping to release this feature in the next couple of months. It's only on the sketch board yet, but it will most likely include hiring of coaches, scouts, doctors, agents.
 
What a coach could add to the game is something like; game breakdowns player by player, boost training for players, team reports, suggestions of best lines, suggestions of game tactics.

Agreed. Great idea. Adding to backlog.

You're right, it's not optimal and I'm looking into how to solve this. But right now it's not a highly prioritised feature.

Congratulations to the WIld Wings for winning season 5
 
I'm on the lookout for a different goalie, was pretty bad during the whole playoffs.

Obviously not =) Impressive!

Hi, I would love to include national teams. But I can't say when because it hasn't highest priority at the moment. The next releases will include youth draft and affiliation teams. But this next release will also include non-playable european leagues and teams so maybe it can be squeezed in or included shortly thereafter.

I think I jinxed my team in the previous posts. Almost got everyone on my first two lines injured and have been in a slump ever since. Down to 7th place and haven't won many games recently. Now everyone is back so let's hope for som big W:s.

Legions managed to acquire Strindberg 

Really enjoying the game so far - it really scratches a few itches from other GM games - but plays much more simply.
 
I can really do without the "stadiums", "advertising" and "merchandising" of the other games. My focus and attention have always been with contracts/rosters/line-ups. This game does that pretty well.
 
I've said a few things about contracts/extensions that I would prefer to have fixed - but I like the lay-out, the team names and logos (although there might be too many choices!) 
 
So far so good. Looking forward to my first full season.
 
Cheers.

Here's a sneak preview of how the forum and chat will be included in game.

I'm going to start trying to implement the game world forums and chat rooms into the game tomorrow. Hopefully I can have update ready at the end of the week. An inbox message announcement is a good idea. Thanks.

In terms of recruiting, I've already got one highschool/Uni friend of mine playing in the Iron League in Biscuit
 
I'll try to find more...

At the moment there are five active game worlds; Biscuit, Clapper, Duster, Fishbowl and Gino.
 
Creating a section per game world might actually be a good idea.
 
I also would like to investigate the possibility of automatically creating a GM Games account when signing up for the game. I think that would make more people join the community.

Moved this to Suggestions just like you said.
 
I agree with you that it's hard to make trades without the possibility of communicating with each other. I actually had an idea to include personal messages in the trades release but didn't find the time. I'll do my best to include this as soon as possible.
 
I understand that it's important with a good community in game. What features do you think is most important?

What kind of community features would be the most important ones to have in game? As a complement to this forum?

Well, in terms of features, I think you're pretty well-equipped....love the advanced stats, tactics, lineup options...trades are now in play as well, so that's great...draft and prospect system will really boost GPH as well...
 
It's moreso the features that don't actually have to do with us managing our teams that will really strike home tbh...
 
But like I said before, sick game...I'm lovin it so far (Besides the games my team is losin of course)
 
For League Forums, if someone from every league could start a thread, that'd take care of that tbh....
 
I could make one for Game World Biscuit, SHL...but I'll wait for a bit to see if the vets will take over from here...don't want them thinking of me as a noob trying to do too much

I am not sure how to address the idea.. basicly i think this is a great game. i dont want to see it get hurt,i want too see it keep growing.. but i think you may want to address a possable loop hole in the trades.. by that i mean a GMs using multi accounts to build super teams.. i know its not as much an issue with full leagues.. but as you add more leagues and grow the game, when you start a new league and the numbers of GMS is few is the time when this can happen, and its also the time when the league is most fragile.. like i say i am not able to work the idea... but i have seen it happen time in and time out in every type of game.. hell even in real life people will do shady things to get an edge..  but maybe  do some thing along the lines of keeping GMs from being able to make trades for there first 20 games? i am not sure really.. looking for idea frm some of the othere GMs?

The release of trades to beta is coming soon. Probably next week.
 
A heads up. The release contains an adjustment of the salary cap penalty rule when releasing players. Half the salary will then be locked for the remainder of the player's contract. So if you have any unwanted players now is the time to release them! ;-)
