Canadian juniors

Anybody playing in the CHL? How is it going? I remember that in early versions of the game there were significant bugs, like teams dressing four overage players.

I started a game and got a job in the QMJHL, looked at the standings, and Moncton is in the West Division. That's not great. Moncton is in New Brunswick and it should be in the Maritimes Division. In my game the Maritimes has five teams, the East six and the West seven, because Moncton is misplaced.

CHL roster bugs like that are fixed now, however roster AI is still questionable. Also, Moncton is in the Maritime division in my game.

A few notes:

- Teams will not trade high draft picks, or barely trade at all really. No teams selling or buying to make runs in the future or present. I don't know if it's something about the amount of teams in 'rebuild' mode, but the AI is questionable at best.

- AI also release top draft picks and player movement through the lower levels is a bit unrealistic, but overall ok.

- Staff salaries are VERY low

I noticed the staff salaries -- I think I must have a day job, with what I'm getting!

Thanks for the feedback. I think the divisional issue is probably not a big deal because division standings don't matter a lot (or at all?) in the Q, and the schedule looks OK. I'm managing Val D'Or and we only have two regular-season games against Moncton.

While that's generally true, I have noticed quite a bit more activity as the trade deadline approaches. All of a sudden teams are noticeably more inclined to wheel and deal, and in my game at least, even loosen the purse strings on higher round picks.
