Stepping into this world for my first WIS HD season next week...looks like a dead forum, hoping to see some other active users!

Hey Bbeebe, welcome to HD! The regular forums that are not world specific are much more active, check them out.

You're coming into HD in a weird spot since it's about to change over to the new version very soon. So you'll be recruiting your first season in the 'old' style which occurs between seasons then as soon as the season starts, it switches over to the 'new' style and you recruit during the season. Since it really doesn't make much sense to learn the old system, I'd look to pick up a team without any seniors or as few as possible.

Check out this post and the link to the flip book that goes through the new scouting and recruiting process. It's a lot to learn but ask questions on the forums or sitemail folks who have offered to mentor and you'll figure it out.

Thanks! I've read that some worlds do a newsletter....I'm guessing the Allen isn't one of them.

I applied to Finlandia....it was the highest prestige school in Michigan and will return a decent amount of talent.

When does 3.0 happen for Allen

Not familiar with any newsletter. Maybe that was before I started playing.

Allen will switch over to 3.0 after recruiting and right before exhibitions.

Also a new player. Excited to join! All seems a bit overwhelming but it seems like a learn as you go type thing.

Welcome james! Yeah there is definitely a steep learning curve for this game but you will figure it out.

This is a bit old but really helpful for new coaches

When we switch over to 3.0, the thread I linked in my first post will be really helpful too. Feel free to post here if you have questions or sitemail me.
