End of this season was kind of hectic for HA team, because during 4th season we had to work on a lot of technical problems with server overload. That's a reason why we were not able to release all planned features in version 1.5. Besides that, in next season 12 new countries will be opened, so also a lot of preparations. I want to thank all members of HA team for their effort and work in this season and I am looking forward for our further cooperation!
I think the 4th season was a success thanks to all managers and the game made a big step forward.
Congratulations to all league champions, National Cup winners and especially to the World League winner team HC Vinari Strasnice and his manager Galanin.

Under 20 years national teams (U20) - up to 20 years old players can join them.
U20 world championship is held in each pair season and the election for U20 national team managers is held in the first week of each impair season.
In case the national player's home team is restarted, the player is not deleted from the game, but he is automatically sent to the market.
Its not possible to release a player, that is in the national team for less than 2 weeks.
Team spirit of a national team get worse, if you release a player, that was in national team longer than 10 weeks.
New attribute on player's detail page, training progress (Training).
New player's atributes:
Satisfaction - it's affected by how much the player gets chance to play in league matches
Number of weeks - the time of player's activity in the team.
The main changes in unprotected player's market:
- the last 3 days of unprotected players's contract, they are
automatically moved on the market
- the salary is offered to the unprotected players (not the bonus as it
used to be so far)
- each team is allowed to send just one offer for choosen player (it's
impossible to cancel it) and the ammount of another's team bid is not
visible
- the deadline of unprotected players is the same for all - 23:59CET
- and it's not prolonged at all
- the home team's advantage can be from 70-130% of the highest offer.
Accordig to the player's satisfaction.
- the unprotected player can be sold soonest after 10 weeks in the team.
- the unprotected player's automatic contract renewal doesn't work.
- unprotected player on the market considers also the level of the league when he chooses the best offer, but only if the bid is from lower leagues than the player's current league
Changed the way, how firing or selling a player affects the team spirit:
firing or selling a player, who is in the team for less than 2 weeks - major deterioration (not if the player is a fresh junior)
firing or selling a player, who is in the team for 20 weeks or more - minor deterioration (in this case the team spirit drops only sometimes)
Changed youth school pulling numbers:
level 1-19% : 1-2 players, 17-19 years
level 20-39% : 2 players, 17-19 years
level 40-59% : 2-3 players, 17-19 years
level 60-79% : 3-4 players, 17-19 years
level 80-99% : 4 players, 17-19 years
level 100% : 4-5 players, 17-19 years
