You're not going beyond the realms of possibility, it's something we have discussed and will likely revisit as we explore options. I just don't know if we have an engine that would allow for us to severely cripple one or two core attributes that drives player success. Like low DF means you will not be very good. The fear is that the most "meta" archetype would be discovered again quickly and we'd be back to everyone creating and building the same way.

@Vkobe-v goat goalie

Welcome to Moscow @Bigb33! Excited to have you here to help turn around our season Cheers @Alex/ @N0HBDY for easy chats.

the first biography completion since S70, wow

Once again, I am here on a Sunday to get TPE in some other leagues. For once I really don't have much to say, but maybe that's just because it's been a busy week. - Work has been ridiculously busy so I haven't been as involved around the league as I usually am. Only been able to post essays in a few topics this week, even didn't process many updates. Work looks to be this sort of busy this next week as well, maybe even until the end of February so that is what it is. Hope to be more active soon. - STHS really just has Moscow's number this season, though I will admit I haven't made many lineup changes. It is disappointing to have 6 of the top 20 skaters by TPA in the league, including 4 of the top 6 and the 2nd best TPA goalie in the league, and still be out of a playoff spot. 1-1 sims until the cows come home it seems. Hope I can find a new lineup to turn our luck around. - Nico had a hat trick today which was nice to see. He hadn't been doing very well for a bit, so putting up three in a row against Toronto was refreshing. Helsinki has promise, lot of scoring coming from non-top players. Will be scary once we get some defensemen developed within the system

That is the perfect world scenario when it comes to a new player. As much as people in the M like to win, and help their team be competitive, the M is really to be hand-holding people that need their hands held. Realistically speaking, a player that earns the way you specified doesn't need the M. They know how to earn, how to build their player, and generally how the league works. They should be going to the VHLE where sure, they may struggle a bit more because of being low TPE, but they will make up that gap pretty quickly if they're earning 150+ TPE per season as you specified. That's about 340-350 TPE by playoffs time. It's not uncommon to see completely barren teams select high TPA players with their top draft picks, only to trade them away to more competitive teams for assets in their "competing season." Or on the flip side, to select lower TPE players with more upside to retain for another season. Targeting lower earners without an intention of developing them properly, or preparing them for the VHLE/VHL is just against the purpose of the M and doesn't make much sense to me. At least the first two actions I specified isn't harming anyone's career by stalling their earning, or not actively encouraging better earning. I mean, here's this image: The players who went at 11, 13 and 14 made the HoF despite creating well after the TDL and not having any carryover at all. I really don't think your lack of carryover or optimal start time is going to hurt you in the long run. Overall it seems Josh explained the situation well, just wanted to comment on some of the points in your post. Good luck with your career and feel free to reach out with any more cutoff/call-up questions

There's certainly an argument to be made that M GM's should be paid more, I'd fully support that haha

They are exempt from it, but you can't cap at 12 with just one job of 2 TPE and no PT (including welfare). If you chose not to claim welfare or a PT, you're capped at 2 job pay + 6 secondary tasks. If you claim welfare, you're capped at 10 TPE no matter what. That's why I basically always thought that job pay fell under secondary tasks, since there are very few situations that someone in a non-PT replacing job would have enough pay to be able to skip doing a PT and just finish the rest of their cap with secondary tasks.

Ayo, secondary tasks are still capped at 6 total per week. You need total job pay of 6+ to cap at 12 without doing a PT

same lol

Calling this horrendous waste of forum space "content" is a DISGRACE to those who put out REAL content, like the wonderful contributors in VSN.

I hate this league

Sounds about the same as mine in Letang's final season. Even though he was doing well, I didn't really care about earning on him since I got to peak build pretty soon into the season and he was playing well. Thanks for the input bud.

You're a fellow max earner, so I'm interested in your opinion as well. Biography seems like a decent task, as it covers a player's entire career. What would it take for you to complete it?

https://anchor.fm/spartan56/episodes/Spartcast-12---The-State-of-TPE-in-the-VHL-e1e3562 I'm about to sleep so not waiting for the Spotify embed. Talked about a job pay intricacy I didn't know about, recent changes to supplemental point tasks, and the career task change no one heard about. Followed up by brief comments about Moscow and the state of the VHLM and VHLE.

nicely done! young bucks carrying the team

To me

We've got our first for this draft, let's see

Glad to have a fellow GG hopium fan in the VHL. Excited to see your career play out, and hope we can team up in the future, either as teammates or in some management to player relationship!

It's a bug, portal developers are working on it

ok glad it's not just me, thought I was glitching out @rjfryman looks like the table has been chopped off

nvm I just hid the columns, still not going to re-sort it daily

I'm not going to resort it every day, and I'm too lazy to remove the TPE from the tables. You'll live
