This season has been a blast, thanks for all participants. The new system works great.

New stuff learned in season 2013-2014:

Slappuck! (Bobby, you ruined konopes' cup chances :perfect:)
Saucer goals
Wrister goal from the slot
Quicker passing (just ram the pass buttom like slappucking)
Hook dodging with poke check
Changing direction just before hook to lead the hooking player away
Better passive puck control
Improved manual goaltending in all situations
...more manual goaltender abuse

Thanks to Julz for many of these, it's obviously a good thing to get new guys who think out of the box! :D
A testament to 2004's greatness is the fact we're still learning new stuff ten years into the game.

Main changes coming up for next season:

FM/EA overall merges - this will mostly increase defensive types' overalls.
Some goalie rework to tie them closer to their overall
Endurance rework, putting a premium on veterans.
More utility differences in defensemen (faster OFDs etc.)
Higher agility for playmakers and offensive defensemen
Improved puck control (higher balance ratings, higher puck control attributes for those deserving)
Some passing AI changes (faster standard pass, slower saucer)
Possibly poke check 2->1 after playtesting

The aim is to make puck control and creative play easier and more effective to balance the playfield vs counter attack hockey, which is 04's inherent golden boy anyway.

Jordan Eberle is worth more than Voracek, will be part of the next dynasty and first canadian team since montreal to win the cup.

Hey Zalta great job again and many thanks for helping to increase the longevity of NHL2004 and the NEHL!

The changes for next season sound great and will definitely lead to a more diverse group of players and less cookie cutter. The more we can define and recreate each players role within the game the more challenge building a team will become.
