A new sim league is potentially on the horizon! The Future Sim League (FSL) is officially launching and looking for new General Managers.
As the name suggests, the sim league is set in the fuuuuutuuure…. And the far future too! We are 35 years along, and the league is about to enter the 2060-2061 NHL season.
Some disclaimers:
-
The AI was tasked with controlling these teams throughout the years. They weren’t perfect, and there’s a few bad buyouts/retentions here and there, but we unfortunately cannot remove those. However, we can remove contracts, so GMs will have a grace period with two compensatory buyouts they can use (plus allowing GMs to shed some of the excess depth contracts that the AI signed without counting towards the buyouts. For reference, Toronto currently has I think 12 NHL calibre goalies lol)
-
Remember, the cap has increased! It was on the lowest setting, so it’s at around 150mil now. Contracts have gone up with that too, but if you want to see the signing in today’s money, just times the ask/the contract by 0.66.
-
The schedule until the summer hits will likely be about 2 sims per week, with the potential of a 3rd. The regular season is split into 4 sims, with the playoffs as 1-2 based upon time constraints. We won’t be officially starting and simming for at least another 2 weeks.
I think that’s pretty much everything! Outside of how to get in…
If you are interested, please send me a Friend Request on Discord (the sim league runs on Discord as an fyi). My username is alaskanprairies. From there, we can chat a bit and I can send you the server invite! You are welcome to spectate or join a team if you want! For security reasons, we also ask that you request to us via DMs if you want to invite any specific friends to the server, as another server I founded and am a Commissioner in has had some issues in regards to that.
Thank you very much! I hope you’ll check out the Future Sim League soon!
