What phases will the restart go through?

This is not yet settled. But it will probably be like this: in the first phase all the teams will be reset, after which only the team and arena names will remain. At this stage there might be a certain period of time without the game being played, 24 hours max. In the next phase all the teams will be assigned new players. In the final phase the teams will be assigned to the leagues.

How will the team assignment to leagues work?

First the teams of those managers who chose the first option to play in the highest possible league will be assigned. These teams will be assigned into the leagues based on the hockey waitinglist. Then the teams who have chosen the second option will be assigned, then those who have chosen the third option and so on until the last option.

When will we know which league we have been assigned to?

The team assignment will be carried out during the restart itself.

Will all the planned features be finished?

Since the version after restart will be labelled PRE-FINAL, it will not be a complete version and some features will not yet be available after restart.

What in particular will not be finished?

It is likely that the national teams, the training camp and some credit features such as credit tournaments will not yet be implemented. We are planning to finish these features by the end of this summer.

Will it be possible to sell or buy players immediately after restart? Or will the new managers be able to use the market after maybe one week of playing?

Yes, those who have their team in the BETA version will be able to use it immediately. The new mamagers will not be able to use the market from the start but only after a few days. Maybe after 5 days.

Will the financial conditions be the same for every league in the first season?

Yes, every team will start with the same amount of money and also the first sponsorship offers will be on the same level. In the following season the sponsorship offers will be influenced by league coefficients, but since the differences in the league coefficients will not be big during the first seasons, also the sponsor money will be on a similar level.

When will we be able to rename a team/arena?

The change of team/arena name will be a credit feature. By the end of BETA version, everybody will be able to change the name of their team or arena once for free.

Will the screen "Pre-game preparation" be displayed half an hour before the game in the full version as well?

We will install a new server as of April and the game calculations will not be all running at the same time. But we will only find out then, if the calculations will be running on time and if the "Pre-game preparation" will be appearing or not.

Will the current BETA version continue after restart?

No, it will be completely cancelled.

Is there anything you would like to tell the managers?

There may be technical issues during the restart. If that happens, I would like to ask the managers for patience.

Thank you for the interview
