I'm looking into this.

Sorry about the lack of info regarding the UAT. I have been really busy with the new update. I will try get the UAT back up in a few days. I'll keep you posted.

Player stats for blocked shots Game stats of puck possession. Game stats of zone coverage. Tuning of the game engine
Decreased the number of fightings. More to come... Game analysis
The game analysis contains detailed report on each player and team overview. Player performance rating is extended into four categories; Offense, Defence, Physical, Role. Read your assistant's most positive and negative remarks on each player. You'll find the game analysis in the assistant's report available after each game. (Game page -> Action menu -> Assistant's report).
 
Bug fixes and improvements
Small face lift of 'Play-by-Play' in Game view Adjustments to player development speed. Increased development for high potential young players. Decreased development for older players. Also adjusted player retirement age factors. More to come...

Hi
 
First, thanks for offering!
 
I'm still developing the game on my own. However an old friend of mine (@Glawing on this forum) is helping me out with both advice and some future marketing strategies. But as of development the team is still one man strong =)
 
Actually, it's not the first time I've got this question and I'm overwhelmed with the commitment shown by you who play this game. Thanks a lot! I've always meant to be open for others contributing but I always thought I'd just finish the next feature first. In order to let others contribute I need to get things enough structured to avoid code/commit chaos. It shouldn't be a problem though, I already have all the right tools and knowledge but it will take some time to set things up I guess.
 
Let me do some more thinking on how to best approach such a scenario. Meanwhile, all of you interested in contributing please send me a resume of your background and coding skills. Either add to this topic or send me an PM. Preferable skills include MVC .NET, CSS, Javascript and experience with document databases (NoSQL).

Players taking faceoffs during games will develop their faceoff skill. Centers will also improve during training. But it improves slower than most other skills.
 
In a release not far from now (I hope) I'm going to add the possibility to train a specific skill of the managers choice for each player.

It might have glitched for a moment while I was installing some updates.

Yes, that's a consequence from the contract updater not finishing all the way through. I will see if I can find a way to release junior players. But I'm afraid you will keep those other players one additional year.
 
Thanks for creating the report.

Game World Clapper is once again activated. Yesterday's crash occurred when the games was played. Some of the games made it through while others didn't. The error has now been fixed and no restore was needed. All games of the current day (day 44) has been played but in order to get everyone a chance to get back in I've decided to postpone day 45 for a couple of hours. So don't be worried that no games will be played when the clock hits zero of day 44 since those games already been played.
 Also sorry for the lack of information during this crash.

Keep up the good work mister!

Clapper is currently paused. I tried to restore immediately after the first crash but it seems the restore wasn't successful. I need to look into the details before trying another one. Maybe I need to go further back. Hopefully I'll find the time for this later today.

Can not reverse the trade I'm afraid. But the account is now permanently suspended.

I totally understand where you're coming from. But on the other hand I don't want to build too many rules based on cheaters either. There might be a lot of reasons where a manager completely legit needs to make trades with signed free agents too (i.e. affected by a lot of injuries). But maybe the lock should be set for newly acquired players in trades too.
 
 
It's free for anyone to join. Just go to http://uat.gameplanhockey.comand sign up as CrimsonLumberjacks said. No need to resign from any other team if you don't want to.

A pre release of the upcoming v1.1.8 has been installed on the UAT environment. The release contains the following features and improvements:
 
Pending contracts
A complete rework of player contracts extensions. An extension will no longer replace the current contract. Instead it will take effect after the player's current contract ends. This also means that you now have the possibility to handle both this and the next season's finance situation. Once your team has promoted or relegated you'll have the new leagues salary cap available for next season signings. This also comes with a limitation where contract extensions will only be allowed on the last year of the player's current contract. But it you will now be able to offer a contract to player's playing in Europe or in other non playable leagues once the regular season ends. If the player accepts he will join your team next season. Player that you own the rights to will be able to accept a contract offer during the complete season. Note that pending contracts also will be accounted for when releasing a player and they will be included in trade offers just like a normal contract.
 
General happiness
The contract happiness has been removed and is replaced by General happiness. This will be extended in the future to include more happiness factors, such as likes and dislikes in the team. But for now it will handle the contract happiness situation and will give more detail regarding if the player wants to move to a bigger club or just is unhappy with his salary.
 
Computer trading AI improvements
In a further attempt to prevent cheating or abusing computer teams in trades the following has been done:
Computer teams will be less likely to agree on trades involving a large number of players and picks Computer teams will be less likely to agree on trades if already been involved in a large number of trades the current season Computer teams will value incoming draft picks less There is also a new feature introduced where newly signed free agents will be on a trade lock for 20 days before being able to include them in a trade offer.
 
Transactions loading speed*
Improved loading speed for transactions on the transfer page. Also includes extended filtering for world leagues.
 
Note. This is quite untested features so please report back any oddities you might find. Just add to this topic. Thanks

In the near future, I would like this game to have an option where you can retain a players salary during a trade. Ex. if your over cap by like 500 000, you can click on the players contract or something and take 500 000 off of it. Another idea would be having managers to be able to give out conditional picks. Ex. a third conditional pick if the team makes the playoffs. These are some ideas that i thought of...It might be stupid, but it's something to think about for the future of this game.
