Please post thoughts, things you notice etc. here in this thread too.
First thing I notice is the vastly modernized lay-out.
AND for Brock, Sean and I, and the other nuts who spent hours in the playoffs determining strategy settings - we now have strategy settings FOR EVERY LINE and EVERY D pairing.
Set line 1 as 3 OFF, 0 DEF, 2 PH. No Problem.
Set line 4 as 0 OFF, 5 DEF, 0 PH. No Problem.
You can also set each lines TIME. So you want line 1 to have 40% of the shifts, or just 20%. You can set that for each line.
Forwards are now separated from D pairings. So your 1st D pairing can play 50% of the time, while your top line only plays 20%. Or your forwards can be all offence, you D all physical, etc.
There are some team wide strategies - if you're winning by two goals you can set it up so that you go into a defensive shell, or when losing by 3 you can go wide open offence.
There are also settings for last minute. If you're losing in the last minute you can set up which players are on the ice.

Client file for Mac? Awesome.
Strategy settings per line? Scary.
Also, any particular reason the import demoted most of my roster to the farm team, including Malkin?

Well listen, we all know he's just an above average AHL'er
I don't know why -- but do a set of lines and it will be fixed.
Also - I might look through some ratings packs and do an import - if for nothing else than we can have all the correct ages (sim supposedly does it by actual birthdate though I haven't looked at that yet)
I haven't looked at anything yet, but it sounds like doing my lines is now going to send my OCD into overdrive!

Great! It also supports multiple player positions, so a player can be, for example, a C/RW or C/LW/RW or even RW/D and the teams can then have more options that way when doing their lines.
Just took a quick glance...nice the way the roster output page has been formatted with the forwards staggered.
Right off the bat, I noticed that the formula for computing OV has been modified a bit, and the formula for computing goalie OV has been modified A LOT. As always, OV's a rather tricky metric. However, any change in its computation could cause us to have to alter the min OV floor.

If you look at the Flames roster I tested this feature out. I added C to Umberger and auto-d my roster and lines. So far pretty good.

It will be interesting to see what it looks like with a ratings pack designed for V2 rather than just the import.

Odd. I downloaded the new client file and then deleted it because I thought I had the wrong one, and now the index page won't let me download it.

Im pretty sure i know the answer to this but are we gunna use the Free agent thing in this to sign or attempt to sign free agents. as well you can hire or dismiss your coach from this to are we going to do that from there or the old way?

Odd. Gimme five and I'll be uploading a new file.
Another thing I noticed is that the sim allows for different salaries in each year of a contract, and up to ten years.
Cue agent chaos.

I believe the answer to both questions is that we will continue to sign both players and coaches using our current process.
Here's my question: what does the new stat, PS, represent? It's there for both skaters and goalies...

its really cool all the things we can do with the new sim. Protect players make them availble for trade theres scratchs for each team farm and pro. Sign free agents and coachs. obviously being new to the sim it would be unwise to use these not knowing how they fully function but maybe in a year or two we could. and as for the PS stat doug i think it is called Poise im not sure what it does to a player but my more talented players have higher poise

Which reminds me that all teams need to re-sign their coaches (an admin duty for me - nothing for GM's to do here)

Everything should be up to date now (except coaches). I've completed the free agent signings, some future considerations that came into effect, created rookies and fixed the prospects list mentioned above.

There are two other new stats
EN (Endurance)
PO (Potential, probably only applies to sim updates)
With the EN rating in addition to DU, does this mean that players that real life injuries will matter again?

I believe endurance is strictly for the players ability to play high minutes per game without getting too tired.
