PowerPlay Manager

No need, i fixed the problem. For my large logo, only .JPG worked, the other 2 "supported" formats didn't. And for my small i had to use .GIF.

Thanks for your help, my team now looks more respectable. Next step, Jerseys.

We could play an exhibition in the offseason, if you don't mind.

I am currently 2nd in league, about 10 points behind leader, I have put all my money into areas like training centre and stuff, everything is coming up nicely

Go for it, what's your teams name? I'll send you an invite, i dont mind playin on a weekend, rather than waiting for the off season, my team doesn't play then. I'm 3rd in mine, with an average team, but World Class Goalie.

HC '09 Ružinov Aces

Sexy name, I know. We could do two games, first weekend in your arena, second in mine.

Sounds good to me. Let us know when it's best for you.

I didn't have time to inform everyone earlier, but the restart of PowerPlay Manager has been succesfull on April 6th! Now we are in the full version. The very first league games will be on April 20th, so you still have a few days to create your team and start your manager career at the same time as everyone else!

Hope to see some of you on PPM

Yeah, my team is going well so far, i'm unbeaten in my Pre-Season games (2 wins, 3 draws), and i've pumped quite a bit of money into my training facility (I feel that's the best way to make my money). We should have had a friendly Shadd, i think i have 1 day free, if you do too?

Post by **Shadd666** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 12:00 am

No prob

Send the challenge on a sunday. There will be national cup on tuesdays, and i'm participating to a tournament on thursdays and sundays, so i only have sundays as free day for friendlies right now...

Getzy, if you were wondering about the "Green Socks".

That is my small team.

Created two days ago and all real rookies (just like their GM

)

And another nice news from the PPM front!

At the occasion of the 2009 IIHF World Championships (April 24th - May 10th), PowerPlay Manager is offering a promotion giving a +20% bonus when buying credits!

So if you spend 28€ to buy 350 credits and take the PRO pack for 1 year (which costs 320 credits), you'll get in fact 420 credits, allowing you to renew your PRO pack for 3 other months (3 months = 95 credits).

So that's a good time to join and benefit from all the PRO functions longer!

Btw, you can also join and play for free. The PRO pack offers more comfort to the game, but provides absolutely NO advantage in terms of results.

Hope to see you soon at www.powerplaymanager.com !

I'm back in PPM, my new team's name is Stockholm Blue Shirts, challenge me if you want, but I will probably lose.

Green Socks? Blue Shirts?

Joe, it sounds like we are both more cloth designers than hockey managers!!

Oh i forgot, my arena is called "Good Old Shoe Arena"!!

Post by **joehelmer** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 5:02 pm

All I can say about my team's name is that it's all Columbus Blue Jackets fault.

My arena name is the same as the biggest hockey arena in Sweden, Ericsson Globe. But I don't think I even got space for 500 people in my stands at this point.

Ahh, i see i didn't realise that was you.

I did wonder why some random team had offered me a game request.

Joe, i've sent you a home and away game if you fancy losing.

Wow...I just realised how much my team sucks....

Selne, I've sent you two new challenges, home and away.

selne · Post by **selne** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 7:02 pm

Ok, here we go!! I accepted you challenges Joe, and send you two new challenges to keep your players tired!!

Post by **Shadd666** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 7:17 pm

Looks like we've got a bunch of TBLers on PPM already... JoeHelmer, Getzlaf15, Selne... I know that Taloncarde is there too... Maybe a few others... It might be a good idea to make a little "TBL Tournament" at some point

What do you think, guys?

Post by **joehelmer** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 8:44 pm

I'm in.

But now I need to improve my team. Next game is against Getzy's team, hopefully I can score.....

Post by **getzlaf15** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 10:45 pm

That aint hard. My goalie's suck.

Mine's a nightmare too! He allowed 6, 7, 7, and 4 goals over the first 4 league games. His last one was by far his best performance, with a 87.5%, the first time of the season he is over 80%, and he's now at 78.0% since the start of the season. Yes, he is my starting goalie

I'm glad i've elected to start from rock bottom and develop my squad patiently. With such poor goaltending, it would have been impossible to make a quick start and look for the title in season 1...

Btw, what league are you all in? For me, it's France IV.11

Post by **joehelmer** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 11:51 pm

I'm in Sweden IV.22.

Won my last game with 11-00, sure it was against a non-player team but still.

Post by **getzlaf15** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 11:56 pm

I'm in league III.6, i have a 2-0-0-1-1 record so far and i'm in the final play-off spot. Still early on though at the moment. I'm just focusing on surviving in this league, and i've spent most of my money on my training as selling my players i believe will be the best way to make money.

selne · Post by **selne** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 2:42 pm

I'm in IV.20 (Germany). 4 games into the season two games lost, two games won.

Ok, now to the serious part:

Shadd, now that i've been playing this game for about two weeks i have to say I am already tired!! Tired of the flash advertising, tired of a thousand bottoms that lead to buy the "pro" status. And the "pagetrackers" that you can see in the html code of the sites.. try to load the site with a dial up connection, it's almost impossible without a code change in the browser.

And this huge bar "activate the pro pack" at the top of the page seems bigger than everything else. There are so many sites for different online sims, but i think the only way to be special is not to overload it with things that no one needs.

If you read this, i hope you take it as a positive critique, because i think the idea that you have to look at your players first and then to build a tactic around them (what probably is the key to success in this game) is a good one. But since the first day i joined the game i had the impression, it's more about the commerce in this game than everything else.

Post by **Shadd666** » Wed Apr 29, 2009 5:00 pm

@Selne: critics taken.

Honestly, the game has some financial troubles right now. Nothing dramatic yet, but the devs are trying to get incomes quickly to secure the financial situation as soon as possible and develop the other sports without having to be afraid of the finances. But you may be right about the fact that there's too much talks about the PRO pack and all. I'm gonna discuss it with the devs in the very near future, especially since it's not the first time i hear that remark.

About the ads... Use firefox, get the "AdBlock" module, and get rid of most of those annoying ads!

Works like a charm

Helmer, our 4 game series is on!

I also prefer the accelerated time. I know this is obviously life like. I just don't have as many games in a week. Kinda liked the old way...
