your attributes were wrong and you need to re-post your player, I PMed you about it. If you still want to join you can PM me with your player stats, making sure all of your attributes are 20 or below, including offensive & defensive roles

I ran a quick test last night and 2 players retired due to not getting signed in the first season(they left their junior club as none) so any players who haven't got a junior club at the beginning will have in the final thing.

I find that funny. Since when do 14 year olds need to support themselves playing hockey?

How long do you do the contracts to the junior clubs?
I ask because I've noticed in the past that a particularly high loyalty will not allow a player to move up to major junior if they still under contract to their junior club.

In my latest test everyone has a contract with their NHL club by 2013, when players turn 21

I no this isn't really important but why is there TBL in everyones name

Because otherwise it would take Calv FOREVER to look up each individual person so he could check their status and take screenshots. By including "TBL" in each name he can do a search for TBL and it will bring up all of us.

Looks like it's on between BigArgon and myself!

Why does he have to search more than once?
Shortlist afterall.

Yeah, I guess that could work. I'm sure Calv has some sort of reason though. That was just my best guess.

You're probably right.
And it really doesn't matter.
I'm just saying.
Since I use it extensively.

Go Blackbear Go! I'll take an average rating of 7 over two games. I'm loving my guys anticipation and determination. Looks like he'll be a winner.

I put TBL in their names to:
A) Speed up the first search, I just typed in TBL and they all came up instead of typing in 55 names and adding them to a shortlist.(Yes I do have them all on a shortlist)
B) When I take over a team as manager I want to know which players are part of the competition. If I have Johan Anderrson(for example) on my team I might just think he's a random swede, as it's a pretty common name. If I have Johan TBL-Anderrsen I don't have this problem. Also if any TBL players score against me I know who they are as well!
