Asunto: National Team

Apparently I only have 1, just 3 different links through which I might exercise that vote (the vote changes if I refresh and change the vote on another page).

I guess I have to vote yea rather than yea-yea-nay.

what it says is that you can change your vote before the deadline ... So i guess you can vote as many times you want but just the last vote will count.

I dont like the NAY but the YAY

BTW, I am going to drive the bus on this upcoming friendly. No throwing rocks allowed rofl.

My plan is to give players that have not played much some Playing Time so in case we need then later, their chemistry is better.

In short .. I dont expect us to win this incoming match but might benefit us in the future.

I say might because I dont know the affects of the chemistry when the new season starts.

It appears three times on my news thread, likely to cover the three different managers that will be in place in the future, but they all lead to the national team this year.

ohhh. I got 3 messages too. Must be a bug.

Newbie NT manager question ...
The FAQ says: "If he is in a training camp, he will play for the national team, but he will get the training bonus for being in a training camp."

With that said, why are we worried about letting NT manager to know when a player is on TC and why not play the player if he is going to get the training bonus regardless?

My understanding was that we were avoiding because the player would have to "leave" the camp to play in the national team.

NT chemistry is reduced by 30% in the offseason, if I'm not mistaken.

Players called up for the NT get a small training bonus from the NT facilities (which is less than the training camp bonus, but still useful). So basically, the NT gives a training bonus to 22 players each game. Players in training camps that get called up forfeit the NT training bonus in favor of the camp bonus. So basically, the point of letting the NT manager know is so that they can call somebody else up if they want in order to give them the bonus instead.

ok, got it. thanks for the explanation

Will a player that gets called up but is left as a scratch get both bonuses? There was a comment to this effect in the national team thread for hockey. I've been running the u18 U.S. national team for hockey under this assumption but have not yet managed to confirm the truth or falsity of this hypothesis.

I don't think so....the quote that bulls4ever gives implies that you only get one bonus at a time (the training camp bonus)

Just added new function for NT Managers. Now NT Manager (and assistant) can see and compare player projection for all called (or selected only) players.

Currently i added the players manually to the database but will implement roster import just like we import players to the database.

Is there any chance of there being a hockey version of your database at some point in the future? Would such a database require substantial programming or just a few minor adjustments?

I plan on working on hockey too. Need to be an NT assistant in there as it helps development.

hockey should be "easier" cause there are less stats

IF YOU HAVE NOT SET UP A YEAR END CAMP FOR YOUR NT PLAYER-- DO NOT (IF YOUR PLAYER HAD PLAYING TIME FOR WC QUALIFIERS.

The focus on the end tourney will be to gain EXP and CHEM for younger players while still winning.

Please keep me informed of players you plan on putting into camp. If you have already done so before this thread THEN it was taken into consideration.
