Create custom lines with the free GM Editor and send them as attachments for FHL import. Simulate seasons with your own teams using the software, with automatic HTML output. The user can customize the interface.
Administrative tasks are a breeze with this software. You can easily create a league from scratch using the draft tools, or use other people's league files. Rosters can be imported from HLS2 files, and draft players can be imported from a simple text file. Commissioners can add as many names as they see fit, and an annual draft list is provided. The program even supports submissions via email.
The integrated entry draft includes a lottery for non-playoff teams, and the software determines free agents with user-defined conditions for restricted and unrestricted free agency. Current free agents can be outputted for easy reference. Updating player ratings annually is a snap, and player databases can be imported and updated quickly and easily without league re-creation. With the click of one button, players will be updated using the new ratings and any prospect players who appear in the new database will automatically be added to the appropriate roster.
The software even has an option to protect players for an expansion draft, and a list of unprotected players can then be generated. Leadership and experience ratings affect player morale and performance under pressure, and the program keeps track of draft picks, all nine rounds, six years into the future. Prospect players can be automatically added to the regular roster when they appear in the master player database. Complete editing of player info, including salary and birthplace, can be done easily.
Game play is where this software truly shines. You can base your teams on real or imaginary players rated in over 16 categories, including Intensity, Speed, Strength, Endurance, Durability, Discipline, Skating, Passing, Puck Control, Defense, Scoring, Experience, Leadership, Height, Weight, and Shooting hand. Overall, this software is perfect for both casual and hardcore hockey fans.
