It will be possible to change the draft rules and the determination of the draft class or to disable a draft completely.

Presumably this flexibility also applies to. Expansion drafts?

I'm already trying to decide which two franchises top add to the NHL.

While we're at it, that's my first game:

World Hockey League

inaugural season in 1947

Williams Division
Ottawa Capitals
Boston Bombers
Chicago Hitmen
Quebec Emperors
Buffalo Blizzards
Philadelphia Generals

Stanley Division
Toronto Stars
New York Americans
Montreal Royals
Atlanta Chiefs
Detroit Vikings
Hartford Colts

And then I let it evolve from there.

shawa666 · 07-09-2012, 05:40 PM

Once it's possible I want to play a game where The WHA never folded

grindline · 07-09-2012, 05:45 PM

I'm definitely having four divisions of eight to mimic the old set-up of Norris etc. I want to definitely add Quebec Nordiques but I'm torn between Hartford and Houston for the other slot.

I'm also aware that I am looking forward to this far too much.

CNOSLIM · 07-09-2012, 07:35 PM

same haha

yeah, i want to recreate the WHA and have them live on and compete with the NHL for sure.

On another topic, one thing i love about ootp is the top 100 leaderboards for everything. Will these leaderboards be included in this game too? I actually wouldn't mind top 250 or 500 and have the ability to sort active players in these leaderboards too. Hockeyreference.com does a good job at this.

Javs · 07-10-2012, 08:26 PM

Will it be possible for 2 leagues to share the same draft pool so I can have a player drafted to the WHA AND the NHL??

Not like OOTP 13 where the leagues had to be in an association and share all the same rules, but just the ability to make junior/college leagues feed multiple leagues.

Anything you can tell us about what is planned for the draft system? Will it be possible to edit how long a team holds a players rights for after he is drafted before he becomes a UFA?

catcherjul · 07-10-2012, 11:41 PM

Hey guys! Is there a place to see some updates/features of this wonderful project? I know it is supposed to come out Q4 of 2012. Or is that pushed?(Hope not!!!!!!)

archibalduk · 07-11-2012, 05:05 PM

The latest update is here: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ct-update.html

I have also written some summaries of the info that has been publicised on the forums here: OOTP Hockey Manager January 2012 Update • EHM The Blue Line and OOTP Hockey Manager April 2012 Update • EHM The Blue Line and OOTP Hockey Manager June 2012 Update • EHM The Blue Line

I believe the plan is for a developer's blog to be started nearer the time the game will be released.

Can't wait! Love reading these updates (just now got around to reading the June update from the Blue Line).

Two or more leagues can share the same draft, such as the CHL Import Draft, or the draft pool may overlap (for example NHL and KHL).

Yes, this will be possible.

yougo1000 · 07-13-2012, 11:00 AM

Really looking forward to this since it was announce. really hoping that is as good as OOTP. If not it is still awesome.

MickMcCann · 07-14-2012, 01:37 AM

I'm bringing back the North Stars! They never should have left.

I have an NHL-themed league in OOTP that has the Hamilton Tigers.

...and the North Stars...

lol i did that too. Do you use the 82 game schedule? I do

Will the players and staff have "Favourite Teams" and "Favourite Staff" .... we certainly see players go to teams they like alot, or sign with a team because they like the coach (just a small factor). I remember the times when people would take pay cuts to play for Toronto...that is long done now but that's the things i'd like to see. Players come to you (the GM) and say we'd 'like to sign for you so give me an offer.'

Afino · 07-15-2012, 08:55 AM

I use a custom 94 game schedule, close enough
