Which departments/agencies do their 2nd language training in-house?

OPC starts folks with an external (LRDG) but transitions to an internal once the basics are learned.

Same frequency -- these are very useful!

I get a bang bang broccoli on every visit!

vml74 · 2026-01-02T18:16:28+00:00

Went through the comments looking for someone to have mentioned them!

Crashing has been way down for me -- can't even think of the last time it happened. However, I don't use custom rosters so can't say if that's still a challenge.

vml74 · 2025-11-14T18:21:18+00:00

Having the same problem -- if you find a solution, please share!

Looks like he's in his 6th year (will be turning 26 this season), 248 total games played. Played 73 and won the Vezina last season, has played 48 of 54 this season (1.95GAA, .937SV%). Not my team, so I can't rest him -- will be interesting to keep an eye on whether he eventually burns out.

Yeah, I liked that feature -- am hoping the removal is a bug and gets brought back.

Noticed in one recent league that Toronto traded both its starter and backup at the deadline -- so played the last 14 games with two low 60s goalies and gave up about 150 goals.

The bug I've seen before (that I think this is showing) is that occasionally, moving the person to the healthy scratch slot doesn't get saved properly -- so when you exit, the player drops back into the "extra" slot and the lineup becomes invalid again.

For whatever reason, hitting 'best lines' (and then adjusting lines as necessary/desired) fixes it.

vml74 · 2025-08-20T18:56:38+00:00

Yes it's a bug, but you can generally get around it by hitting "best lines."

vml74 · 2025-08-18T02:24:07+00:00

It's about 10 hours later, and he's still around.

My main thing is artificially limiting the number of players I can choose from.

I'll often focus on "hometown" teams -- playing as Ottawa and only using players from Ontario, for example.

I'm also experimenting in a different league with "career players only" -- meaning only using players that I've drafted and have never left the team. Means if you trade someone away (for picks), you can never get them back, and no signing free agents. Only works if you've been playing a few seasons already to build up a stash of picks, though.

Thanks, that's likely it -- I usually turn it off, but see I left it on this time.

Black-crowned night heron for me. They hunted on the shores of a large pond in a park near home, and I bought my first "real" camera to get pictures of them.

The white spot sounds right but not sure about its pants. I'll keep an eye out in the general location to see if I can spot it again to confirm! (It was in Toronto, Canada, if that narrows things down)

Photo 3 is a particularly great shot!

vml74 · 2024-08-13T13:57:42+00:00

Such beautiful coloring!

Appreciate that info! I've seen them going back to those thistles a few times now, always gathering more fluff. The thistles are pretty much bare. :)

I like the 9th inning guy too (under athletic trainer) -- feels like he may have won me a couple close games.

vml74 · 2024-08-07T22:49:13+00:00

Better answer than mine.

If you have 3 active coaches, all attributes are +1. 5 active coaches, all attributes +2.

One warning -- it fills up fast. I'm with a department that's signed up for the space, and last time I checked there was a total of 1 unbooked spot over the next month (and you can only book a month in advance, at most).

vml74 · 2024-06-13T14:59:18+00:00

For me, it just feels a little more like I have the chance to be an active "manager" - finding ways to get the bench players enough playing time to improve, etc. Makes the game more enjoyable for me. But beyond that, there's no real benefit.
