27.12.2008 - Christmaaas! (version 2.7)

Dear managers and colleagues, first we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and good luck and health in the coming New Year! As a small Christmas gift, we have recently prepared a new version of the game for you, which has some new additions and improvements. First, we would like to welcome a new member to our programming team, his nick on HA is grundzal and his name is Pavol. He has already helped us with the preparation of this new version, so our thanks should also go to him!

So now, please allow me to get to the changes that we have prepared for you:

  • As the first improvement, we would like to introduce the long awaited option of having an assistant manager to help you in the time of your absence. Every manager will be able to set an assistant by entering his nick on the Manager, Settings page. The assistant can login to your team using your nick and his password. He will not have the full list of options available, but only the essential. These functions will be disabled: selling players, bidding on players, the market filter, firing players, demolishing stadium, deleting or changing the training schedules (but you can assing the existing schedules), changing the manager's settings, changing the sponsor settings, researching player or matches and use discussions.

    The next important part of the game, which has been improved is the chemistry and lines' tactical specializations. We would like to launch these on all games starting the next season so you can expect more improvements in this area throughout this season.
  • The tactical specialization system has been improved, so that for each tactical option there is a counter tactics, which will be extra effective againts it. You will find the list of counter-tactics on those pages, where you can change the line's tactics, in the brackets next to each tactics.
  • We have created a system, which will "remember" the chemistry of a line, that no longer exists, for example because a player has been replaced or the line has been deleted. This system will restore this remembered chemistry automatically. The stored chemistry of non-existing lines will of course decrease fast over time!
  • So you can better accommodate the new tactical system, or react to your opponent using only 3 lines in the game, you will have the option the copy the opponent's lines. This setting will allow you to copy your opponent's lines (ice times) setup, so your first line will be on the ice with his first, second with second and so on. In case both opponents turn this option on, the away team will copy the home team's ice times. In case you have 4 lines in the match and the opponent only has 3 and you turn on the copy option, only the first 3 of your lines will be used in the match. If you have only 3 lines available for the match and your opponent has 4, it won't be possible for you to copy his lines.
  • For the same reason, you will see the tactics of each line on the bottom of the match report page.
  • We have slightly changed the players' specialization requirements for every tactics. You will find the requirements on the pages, where you can change the line's tactics.
  • We have also improved the design and functionality of the line-up setup, creation and changes pages.

    Some improvements have been done in the unrestricted free agents (UFA) system:
  • The limit of the highest offer on the UFA have been increased to 100M, or 200% of the highest offer.
  • The compensation for the UFA for his previous team has been increased by 10% to 60% of the highest offer.
  • The automatic offer to the UFA (from his team) will be activated a day sooner than before, so it will be activated during the next update when the player's contract has 2 days left to expire.

    We have also prepared a whole new version of the live match broadcast:
  • A new types of actions will be broadcasted, like unsuccessful shots, goalies' saves, faceoffs and offsides.
  • Some bugs have been corrected and the design has been improved a bit.
  • Unfortunately, because the new live broadcast generates a lot of load the the servers, this detailed broadcast will be available only to the managers with a sponsor pack. But don't worry, non-sponsor will still have the brief version of the broadcast available.
  • Our developer mustafa is responsible for the live broadcast improvements, so the thanks go to him!

    And the last but not least, a few small improvements for your pleasure and better fun:
  • Fresh youth players will be available in the youth school on Monday every 1., 2., 4., 6., and 8. week of the season.
  • The calendar will now display more days at a time, so we hope it will be more convenient this way.
  • The sponsor pack subscribers will have a new statistical page available, Top 10 players, where the top players based on training, potential, AI, salary and loyalty will be listed.
  • We've imported new player's names databases for Bulgaria, Switzerland and Austria, thank you very much for preparing these databases (community leaders and their helpers) !
  • In the national election you will need the owners' trust at least 20% to give your vote.
  • The players' tactical profiles and the daily training progress of a national team member will be available to the national team manager.
  • On the Players, Contract page, the salary will include the 20% bonus for the foreign players.
  • We've changed the way the scoring passes are characterized in the match (based on their quality), this is the new order (worst to best): poor, average, neat, excellent, perfect and genius.
