Player Information - Not in Manual

Chomps · 10-04-2017, 12:12 PM

Some of the Players on the Vegas Draft Page have letters next to their names.

I searched the Manual but did not find information on the following abbreviations:

(HO), (C), (TB), (F), (A), etc...

The Manual seems to be lacking a lot of information. Will this be updated for the final release?

I try:

H0-4 is the heat level of a goalie

C and A are Captain and Alternate Captains

F is Foreigner (in that league)

OA is overaged

TB is Trade Block

* is, I believe, a rookie (I can be wrong here)

You are right about * that stands for rookie

I should know, right? But in this case I was not sure about it (without looking into the code) so maybe it would be a good idea to add it to the manual.

There's actually an-game tooltip that lists them all, but it's only visible if you hover right over the word "name" at the top of the column (since hovering over the player names themselves brings up the player popup.)

(edit: added to the manual's roster page now as well)

What does OA - Overaged actually mean? Can you please define the parameters of this designation?

The same age (as of December 31 of the year the season starts in) as the maximum allowed by the league. i.e., in the WHL, OHL, and QMJHL, 20 years old/born in 1997 for the 2017-18 season.

Sorry, I don't understand. What is the maximum age for the WHL, OHL, and QMJHL? Where can we find this information?

Does the NHL have a maximum age?

What should we do with OA Players?

JeffR · 10-05-2017, 04:27 PM

The maximum age is listed on the League-Rules screen (under Contract Rules). The NHL doesn't have a maximum. The WHL, OHL, and QMJHL only allow 3 overage players on a roster, so that's why there's a special tag for them.

On the Depth Chart - what do the various colors mean?

This info is not in the Manual

JeffR · 10-06-2017, 02:19 AM

Player names displayed in green are on your active roster, players in blue are contracted to you but loaned to another team, and players in red are contracted to another team but their rights in your league belong to you. (added it to the Depth chart description on the team and league controls page in the manual.)

What about (UT)? I thought it might be Under trained but I am not sure. I am passed mid season and hard to believe Gretzky is under trained.
