See, I wasn't really thinking about it at all(I forgot about it too) when I made the pick, and picked according to my needs.....I think I'm just gonna try to work something out with the manager in question, and hopefully things will work out.

Well, you might have been too generous to him then; you actually put some thought into it.

Considering that I could have really put the screws to him.....oh well, lack of communication on both sides. We'll get it sorted out (I hope).

The Tornados select D Hib Peltoinen as our new FP.

We really need to get rolling on renewing. I suggest everyone get your 6 teams in your draft center and let OKP know right away.

Got a few things I have to tackle....... not necessarily in this order.

OKP's Personal MLD To-Do List

~ Record the FP switches/ update the FP Listing. (DONE)
~ Fix and/or deal with the recent early ending signing period mess (DONE)

~ Request the league's players file for the MLD bonuses. (DONE)
~ Enter the bonuses and send them back in (DONE)
~ Have admin restart season 12....... enjoy the preseason!(DONE)
~ Get the necessary replacement GM(s) settled in (DONE)
~ Get everyone to purchase and bank the 6 seasons needed for extending the MLD up till season 20.(IN PROGRESS, 3 GMs )
~ Get admin to collect those seasons..... usually with me harassing a handful of procrastinating GMs. lol

Well my plate is full......... lol

(sigh.......notice how there is no time allocated for concentrate on having Kingston win the MLD Cup!) DOH!

* - So far the people who have mentioned being hit by the early ending signing period bug.

(updated Sept 23/08)

GMs effected by the early ended signing period

Modo21 (35 players BUT 2 players are OVER the regular career limit.....1 can be allowed to be FP)

Big_drive (30 players on roster)

Finnski (27 players on roster)

Thewaffleman (35 on roster BUT 4 skaters and 1 goalie are OVER the regular career limit..... 1 can be allowed to be FP)



Possible GMs effected by the early ended signing period
(Based on a team-by-team check)

Vmorte (only has 31 players on his roster)
Blee3467 (only has 32 players on his roster)
Bigbadgreen1 (35 players.... but previous FP is due to retire and still on roster)
Ukol (34 players on his roster)
Yogsloth (34 players on his roster)

OKP,

I am loaded with my teams, and believe me we all know you have a life, so when it happens it happens...not your fault my friend

btw, I keep 34 players on purpose. Allows me to pick up a playoff rental without worrying about roster space.

Agreed yogs, I pointed out to okp you are not the only one who doesn't max his roster.

Which is, of course, our plan...

This post could not be converted. To view the original post's thread, click here.

Thought it was time to ask admin why we never have any fights in the MLD...

Gotta say we still have lots of injuries lol... and surely also players that intentionally injury other players with the odd suspension to fit the action.

But nevertheless very interesting feedback, both why we don't have any fights and on hockey dynasty.....

"Originally, when the simulator was developed, minor leaguers were meant to just fill in for injured players -- not really do much for the team and also not really hurt the team."

This is actually why I think we have the phenomenon that as our players' skills develop, they don't necessarily become offensive stars. If you've ever played a sim league with "great" MLs, they make wonderful replacement players, they rack up assists and play defense but they certainly don't shoot. They're not there to take away from the real life players.

We don't have any real life players. Our best players kind of stand around looking for someone to help out. Our top shooters often become whatever guy on the team seems to have the "secret sauce" blend of attributes... then as he develops, he loses whatever made him a shooter for that period in time.

OKP, I'm good. I'm down to 32 players by design. So I wasn't effected by the early signing period end.

Spot on damag, my thoughts exactly! Both the secret sauce part and initially high shooters dry out as time goes by and attributes increase.

I still have my original FP D-man on the team, after he became great in skills I hardly can get him to shoot on "no restrictions" and with 100 all over the place. This season I've teamed him with a 2nd season average guy, and the other one is my top shooter this season (almost twice as much as the 2nd on the list, a forward).
