Executive Hockey News

Hello friends,

We have updated Executive Hockey today with some new features and a few bug fixes.

Wildcard standings page added and made default
Improved list boxes on standings page
Players on forward lines are now sorted by Left Wings first, then Centers, then Right Wings
Fixed bugs in algorithm to determine when a team clinches a playoff spot.
Fixed bug where human team (and last opponent) only showed 81 games in the standings table at season's end
Minor player adjustments
Fixed bug where players signed as FA's would not have the correct contract displayed on their tooltip/popup
New logo for New Jersey Demons

More to come in a few weeks. Stay tuned!

March 4th and right on time, the February update is here!

Ok, we're a few days late, but we wanted to get this in good shape before putting it out there for you. There are some big features in this release centered primarily around contracts. Here we go:

Contract handling is greatly improved in numerous ways. Contracts have two types: standard and entry level (max $1m, always 3 years)
Players can be offered contract extensions
Lineup screen now has lists of players with no contracts, expired contracts, and pending waivers
Changed colour of 'Leader' tag
'Live' draft screen format is now simpler
Profile of player skills in draft has changed - players are now stronger
RFA's are now treated differently - RFA players can no longer be offer-sheeted. There is no list of RFA players shown on July 1
Fixed a potential crash when sending waived players to minors
When players are newly drafted they are no longer automatically signed. They instead go to the 'Unsigned - Drafted' list
Reduced strength of players under age 21 to simulate players not being "NHL-ready"
If you don't make an offer on a UFA, the accepted/rejected summary page is no longer shown
You no longer 'waive' an unsigned player - you release them. They go right to free agency.
Players in lineup screen now show 'Pending UFA' or 'Pending RFA' if they are becoming that status at the end of the season

As always, this update will break any saved games that you have. Once we go to full release, updates won't do this to you!

Thanks for playing and keep an eye open for the next release. It should come sooner and focus more on bug fixes and clean up.

Hello everyone!

We are working away on the next update of Executive Hockey, targeted for late February. This update will improve contract handling and make it much easier to see what's going on with the contract status of players on your roster. It's a fairly big update, so we are going to make sure it's working well before putting it out there, hence the lack of a recent smaller update.

Once again, if you are interested and able to write a review, please do so. Or if you would like to tweet or post anything to Facebook or Reddit or whichever social media site you prefer about Executive Hockey, please do so. Thank you for your support!

Hey everyone,

We just posted a new update to Executive Hockey. This one improves the player "tooltip" window and player injury information window. Let us know what you think!

If you have a few moments to write up a review for other Steam users, it would be much appreciated, even if the feedback is negative.

Have a great evening!

Small update this week:

Reduced likelihood of defensemen getting involved in scoring plays
Fixed rendering problem when dragging players among lines on lineup screen
