Non-playable Leagues

Nuggett · 11-04-2021, 09:52 PM

Will the non-playable leagues ever have full stats/standings/playoffs.

I don’t care about playing these leagues but would be great if they were full leagues in the background (ie NCAA CDN Jr A) that you could follow.

Just curious.

I've thought about doing it, but there are a few problems: there are a *lot* of nonplayable leagues in standard games, a large number of them are generic leagues where the individual teams represent large groups of teams, and it's going to slow the game down noticeably to process and track even simplified results for them. At this point, the payoff for having more detailed results for those leagues isn't worth the issues it'll raise. That might change in the future, but right now it's not likely to happen anytime soon.

Thanks.

That's too bad, but understandable.

Like I said, not concerned about playing these leagues, but seeing these leagues in the background.

Would rather see how the NCAA or CDN Jr leagues play out than the lower minor leagues (ie Southern Professional League, etc).

Maybe we can get those leagues playable in the future!

I'm not sure about NCAA, but the Canadian Junior A leagues are playable. I don't actually watch those games, but I make them playable and so I am able to track their progress over the course of a season.

If you're referring to the WHL, OHL and QMJHL, that's known as Major Junior.

Junior A. is not playable. Junior A is things like the BCHL, AJHL, SJHL, MJHL, OJHL, etc. It's a step below and often used as as the farm team for Major Juniors but also stand alone. They also feed directly into both the NCAA and Canadian College leagues.
