You guys know the drill!
Not a new rule, but has anyone had any success recruiting some more GMs? I talked to Joe the other day, but he doesn't seem too interested in coming back right now.

Not really had a chance to get into recently with the change of job. I get people showing interest but I dont think they really know what EHM Freeware is like and think its more like the commercial version so they dont join.
Rules side of things.
Regarding goalie con increases for shut outs. I was thinking of doing this at te end of each season instead of when ever they happen. So at the end of each season I look at the stats sheet and if they have 5 shut outs I can just increase by 5 rather than 1 here and there.
No one this season opted for a position change which was interesting. I did some for one of the gmless teams but no one else asked for any.
I think the injury slider change was good. Felt we had more significant injuries and less dtd irritating (from a simming point of view) injuries.
RFA's
Its extremley rare that these ever get an offer from another team despite the lowered comp system. Do we want to look at this again and reduce it further ?

I would add we should not use extra practice training
It can be done once for only 1 team a day
When several gms ask to do it during one day it is hard to choose
No extra practice for anyone would be my offer

-I'm good with waiting to input goalie shutout CON boosts. Makes it easier for the simmer(s)
-I'd keep extra practice training, but maybe lets limit it to 1 request every 2 sim weeks...or even a month
-RFA comp system...sure, we could make the compensation lower to entice more GMs to send offer sheets, but even in the NHL, it doesn't happen often
Another potential change, what about the draft lottery system? I think we currently use the old NHL model where the "winning" teams can only move up a certain amount of spots. Would we be interested in moving to the current NHL model where all non-playoff team draft picks could be eligible to move up into the top pick?

You are actually wrong about only one practice per day. There is a way to get them done for multiple teams on the same day and when I used to sim in the past I would use it.
Multi practice per day instructions:
1. Multiple practices can not be done when you first open EHM. You have to click "Continue to the next day".
2. If there are games they have to be simmed.
3. Schedule a practice for a team.
4. Save the game file.
5. Advance the game file one day by clicking "Continue to the next day".
6. Reload the game file you had just saved.
7. Go to the next team wanting a practice and schedule one.
8. Save the game file again 9. Advance one day by clicking "Continue to the next day" 10. Reload the game file you had just saved. 11. Schedule the next practice....
If you follow the above you can schedule as many practices as you need. Key is to advance one day, sim the games, schedule practice, save, advance one day, reload the save you just did, schedule the next, save, advance, reload....

The problem we have right now is not all rewards are properly documented anymore. Some seem to have disappeared, others we discussed but are not documented anywhere. We have discussed many things over the years but they rarely ever get documented and now we have official rules and rewards and those that are unofficial.
If we implement a rule/reward change they they need to be announced and documented so as to avoid confusion.
My thoughts:
- I did not know that we are actually doing the position changes as I would have done several.
- Are we still receiving pot awards for GM'ing a gmless team? It is not documented anywhere so I have not used them for 1-2 seasons now.
- The buying con points with profits is not documented either
- Goalie con rewards done once is fine with me.
- RFA's - we can do it but I am not sure it would work with a league that is not full of actual GM's I know for teams I look after if there is an unsigned RFA it is almost always someone I don't want.

I don't know anyone I could try recruiting into the league unfortunately.
I would like to be able to keep the extra practices. Maybe have a priority list like based on record or record of last ten games if there is a conflict?
I like the change in the injury slider. I think it made managing the lineups a bit more challenging and stressed the importance of depth.
The goalie shutout boost I'd like to keep during the season but if the simmers are watching out for all the GMless teams and trying to manage the boosts that way I am ok with waiting until the end of the season.
I am not 100% sure what the compensation for RFAs is. I realize most are borderline players but there seem to be a few decent players out there. If the compensation is different from the game default it could be worth pursuing.

What about GMs that stash RFAs on their team for multiple seasons? What about, if they miss an entire season as an unsigned RFA, they automatically become UFAs? Especially is they turn 30 in that time
13 active GMs is also tough, but if we get some more GMs to look after secondary teams, that's 26 human controlled teams

It gives incentive to sign or trade players. |

What about recruiting from other EHM freeware leagues? We can do a swap....get a GM from another league join, and GMs from our league can also join their's. Give our GMs POT boost incentives in this league to join another if they can bring in others GMs

If they are using them as an asset for future trade, they should count towards that. There is no sense in having guys 75 oa and under unsigned and RFA, tons of them like them in UFA, they are pointless. |

There is another option in which we merge the two leagues, but I don't know how many people would be in favour of that |
