When do the league finals get played? I have won the semi finals but the schedule has not yet updates to include the finals.

I am guessing it could start tomorrow but want to be sure before locking in m tactics.

The finals will start wednesday. Tommorow will be the third game of the semi-finals.

OK thanks. Yeah, I was forgetting that you already start with an automatic 30% discount.

OK, thanks for helping clear that up!

question...how much really does a coach contribute to the improvement of players?

They do quite a bit, but their effectiveness depends on the level of the facility.

I can safely say that you are grossly overpaying for your staff. All my facilities are at a higher level than yours and your staff have higher overalls than mine.

You need to get rid of both your lecturers right away. You shouldn't have any as they're a big waste of money.

And you don't need that 182 overall coach with your level 8 TF. Downsize both your coaches, and your managers, and your physicians.

This will save you a TON of money and won't negatively affect anything.

Canucks also just wrote an article about staff effective levels corresponding to facility levels.

They make a difference but depends on your facility. There'll be a PPM Mag article released in 10 hours to address just this question.

okay, thanks for all the advice

if you win the playoffs as champion, u get directly promoted...if im not mistaken. when do you then get the promotion bonus

Last game of the finals is Friday. It comes Friday evening.

To boost my team for the 3rd game of the finals... I bought a RW to replace my injured top RW and another LD. Both new players are now the best in terms of the attributes, but obviously they are 0 in chemistry.

So should I put them right into the 1st line, or should I consider the drop in chemistry that will result, and put them into the 2nd line? And does chemistry affect the line strength?

My understanding is that chemistry can add up to a 20% boost to your player. Do the math and make the choice.

So a chemistry of 100 adds a 20% boost to the player alone?

That's the word on the street. On one side of the street, anyway. The other side of the street is saying it's a 10% bonus.

I'm tempted to go with the other side of the street. I bought a player earlier this season. He wasn't playing a lot for his old team, but probably had 75-80% chemistry. He got a 27 IGR for that team. On my team, he only pulled a 25IGR with 0 chemistry.

Ok thanks!

Another question, if I put a player on the opposite side to his shooting hand, for ex. a d-man that shoots left is put on the RD position, does it reduce that d-line's Strength value? And if so, anyone know approximately by how much?
