I really like the idea of having different levels. Why NOT make it like it IS in real life? It kinda makes sense. You have an Amateur Draft, like real life. You can send your prospects to the minors, like real life. Have to hire coaches and develop your prospects, like real life, etc...Of course, if we do that, then the Draft process needs a major overahaul. I will start sending you my ideas, Mike.

soccer, awesome, im an avid soccer fan, interested to see how it works though, being free, is it going to be similar to HBD???

I still think the CHL (canadian junior hockey) with fantasy based short career players like HD and GD is the way to go and an NHL based game will only get a team or two from me, leaving the bulk of my spending in HD. I would see this as a gl*** half empty announcement.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! if it's college based like HD or GD, i won't even bother trying it. i want an NHL based game like HBD which is ten times better than the other dynasty games. i want to be able to sign contracts, have a draft, promote / demote players. actually run a team that can become a dynasty, with franchise players and everything.

HD and GD are great, but not what i want to see in hockey.

agreed with GM. Its good to know that now when I dream of drafting a number 1 goalie overall for the forseeable future that eventually it will be a reality. Yay for Mike Welch. Thanks again.

Is there some place that I can learn strategy of sim hockey? I just can't get it.

Draft high shot %, low D players, and line them with high D cheap players. (John Duggan plays almost to all his games with 95 D, no points, and costs about $500,000... He's on almost every team.)

You probably won't get it unless you put it in the right place either. A thread explaining when or if there will be a Hockey Dynasty is not the place to ask for tips on how to play the sim. There are several threads in this forum with tips already if you just search back a little farther, or you could start a new thread asking for tips (where you'll probably be redirected to the other threads anyways.)

hy papabilly i would ask a hall of famer or someone with a better record than yodelingdog....just send sak a sitemail im sure he would answer any questions

Well it is nice to see this issue is actually being considered, although it is a bit depressing that soccer will have a dynasty before hockey.

Lol, yeah. It's true. But I'm trying!!!

Soccer get consideration before hockey because as mwelch said, we are some of their most hard core customers. That means they can neglect us, and keep putting us on the back burner, and they know we'll still be here in 10 years, when they FINALLY get around to making the hockey Dynasty.

It's only the MOST watched sport in the world......and you want to compare hockey to it. A single team like Manchester United has more fans than the entire NHL, seriously.

Soccer is for pansies! Seriously!

Foot Fairies!

Is there any ETA on the hockey dynasty? I'm not sure if Mike ever answered that but I am DYING for that. ASAP PLEASEEEEEEE!!!!
