It's used by multiplayer commissioners to make trades for teams they don't control directly.

Can be used in single player (comisioner ) mode as well.

Hm, it seems, its working also by single player. If a team doesn't want to accept my trade, i hit Force Trade and suddenly the trade is accepted. The other team even make such ridiculous trades with other teams, if they are above salary cap.

What are this columns in the Positional Rankings -> Teams (see picture)?

And the face generator should be a little bid tweaked. A 16 years old player looks like 30 years old (see picture).

The team's overall ranking in the league for the quality of players it has at Forward, Defenceman, and Goalie.

I'm not sure if anyone else has ever mentioned this, but something I noticed with scouting.

When you have scouts assigned to the NHL draft, after the draft is over, you have to clear their assignment and then add it back a couple months later, or they will continue to scout the players from the previous draft.

Jeff, I want to retire all fake players in my custom league. When I go to edit under the team screen, it won't let me click on the retire button.

It needs to be July 1, if you're not on that date the button won't work.

That is already know issue.

I had a quick question: in a historical game, can you change the number of rounds in the draft, and if so, how? We're in the era of 12 rounds, and I'd like to avoid the problem of running through all the NHL players that actually played and having virtually no one to draft a handful of seasons in. I figure lowering the number of rounds to 7 early and avoiding expansion might help.

Not possible at the moment, the number of draft rounds (and a number of other things) will remain where it is when you first enable historical editing. We're going to be changing that in 7 so it's a lot more flexible.

Need a few more details. Which league are you playing in? Do you have enough roster space and/or budget to sign additional players? Usually the easiest solution is just to sign enough prospects to meet the roster requirement, but depending on the circumstances there may be things preventing that.

[Elvis965]

Is there a way to pull up all the players in the league so that you can see their ratings? Like you can with the Free Agent screen?

Or do you have to go team by team with players that are under contract?

If you can't, that would be a nice to have for a future release.

So if you are in the market for a good playmaking center, you could pull up all the centers in the league and sort them by passing ability to narrow them down.

I think maybe in the league index you can. Go to the league page and then click that "index" tab. I'm not 100% sure, though.

I have noticed in the future players on my CHL team get the unfit lable to start the year and it never goes away for their whole careers. Players used to get it in the first few years of the dynasty and it went away in a month or so but now its permanent for years. It just says it under the status even though i don't noticed their energy levels being extremely low or anything. i cant seem to change it either, even in commissioner mode

Yes. Use the search function. On the main screen, click on the magnifying glass instead of searching. Then use the filters as you wish.

It's supposed to be on a time limit (with a small chance of resetting back to 7 days when time runs out if the player's Professionalism rating is particularly low). If it's been a few years, it sounds like the timer's not working properly. I'd like to have a look at that save if you can upload it.
