The national teams just because a load of BS Really pathetic change by PPM.

Ok guys, what would you do to stop this nonsense ? How to deal with NT which has energy over 90 for 3/4 of it's NT rooster because most of players are in his team, or with NT which has sufficient depth to choose which player will go to WCC - 91 energy and 300 in shooting, or 92 energy and 400 in attack, because that community can pick from 2000 clubs ?
You think that when community agrees one time - it is destined for WCC trophy ? You have to be consistent in that aspect and maybe something will happen in 2-3 seasons. On the other hand clubs from that country will stay low with international achievements.

Do NHL players take time off the league when they play in national tournaments? Of course not.

A national team managers job MUST involve communicating with other managers so they can get the best available NT with the players available. If people aren't willing to conserve players energy, then they shouldn't be on the NT, simple as that.

Making all this energy separate takes whole load of "management" out of the NT managers job, and seriously degrades and devalues the whole thing.

I agree and I have said it earlier as well, change the chemistry system so that the chemistry goes up very fast and/or does not drop if you are not in NT at one point. Then the NT coach could choose players much later and have more control on players. That is what happens IRL as well.

I forget since the last SA pull of the season is tomorrow if we leave them in their till day 1 of season 9 they still gain a year of age right? they even age if we dont click check acedemy till day 1 also yes?

Correct.

Now the WC will always be won by the country with the most players due to the percentages of drawing the best players. I don't really see any better options being put forth from anyone though so it was obviously not a bad snap decision.

Are FA sales counted for purposes of agent fees? I had a FA who I didn't try to keep because I was trying to reduce my recent sales to lower my fees. Last season he was being counted, but now it looks like he isn't.

Was this a bug that has been fixed?

yes.

NEWBIE QUESTION
I just got my first injury. How big a difference does playing on the off side make?

Unfortunately, I only have one left-handed Defenseman on my entire team (thanks PPM), so I have to ask. Am I better off playing a right-handed D-man with 24 rating at LD or a lefty backup goalie with a D rating of 16? [both have about equal pass/tech/agg].

I think the general consensus is that playing on the off-side will result in approx 10% decrease in attributes.

So then play the guy on the offside, for even with the decrease, your right hander on the left side will still be, at worst, five points higher than the left backup goalie.

thanks guys

Any of my American friends reside near Cornell or Princeton Universities?

Is there currently an NT like this? I thought this was the reason the other world countries werent allowed to have NT teams?
