Any one train aggression on centers, the guide says that it helps Wingers get into scoring chances so would it do the same for centers or is it a waste

I know Crash Test Dummies did, not sure if he still does, me no. I ressent the way they are making me now train pass on wingers, and am more then likely gonna quit after this pro pack. They used to be differant, now they are just like all the others. I am really upset with the last 2 updates.

I read in another forum that if I do not look at my academy players, they will remain age 15 when next season begins. My question is, will all academy players remain on my list until I view them, or will this group disappear if I do not look at them before the next group arrives?

They'll be 16 if you view them next season so what you read is old information. It was changed a season or two ago.

I spent the credit. That's pretty expensive for a one day nickname.

we dont make you train passing on wingers, we just give you more options. I will explain in the next news

Do you guys think it is a good idea to put a defenseman in the RW spot on the PK?

No way I would, I think the loss of Defense points would hurt my PK. I want to think CTD did that and did not like results.

OK, and does preferred side matter on the PK?

Prefered side matters on all spots no matter what the situation. Maybe not alot, but you will notice the differance.

Mordeth is incorrect on preferred sides. It does not matter on PP or PK....

"Apart from selecting the players with the right attributes for the given positions in the line, you also have to take into consideration whether you have put the players on their preferred side. Players who don't play on their preferred side (this is indicated in the line-up overview by a red letter signifying their preferred side), do not feel comfortable on the rink and their performances will not be optimal. The preferred side is not taken into account in the power play and penalty kill situations."

This is per the guide.

Preferred side does not matter at all on either special teams.

Also, from one of the recent news items, it looks like mike would be ok using his three D on the PK. Although maybe that should be confirmed. It's not listed as one of the formations they will penalize.

"untraditional power play and penalty killing line compositions will be penalized (for example if you use 3 defensemen and 2 fowards on a powerplay or if you have 3 forwards on the penalty kill; on the other hand 4 forwards and 1 defenseman on a PP will not be penalized)"

3D on PK will be penalized.

Thanks for the quick reply, vlady

And good question, mikeok.
