Exciting Changes At Powerplay Manager

Over the last few weeks there have been in incredibly exciting improvements to the Powerplay Manager online game.

October 2, 2009: The improvements began with the introduction of trophies for all tournament, league and competition winners, so you can now not only brag about your win, but show it off with a shiney new trophy! Also implemented during this update was the "online users" page, which is a great way to track down who's online, see who has pro-pack and much more. The PPM team also introduced the PPM Facebook Page and Group.

October 12, 2009: Press Releases have been incredibly popular features of other manager games, and PPM has now implemented their own. You can now post press releases about your team, players, etc to share with the wider community. These are a spectacular way to help spread the word, brag about wins, inform about changes or simply act like a real hockey team and post regular updates. This update also introduced the PPM Twitter page. If you are a twitter user, be sure to follow PPM!

October 15, 2009: This was a major update for fans of the propogation of the game, as PPM how reward those who help spread the word with a fantastic credit referral system. This is also a fantastic way for Support Team Captains to measure their marketing efforts and track new members.

Trophy (pro-pack feature) a Joke

For those following the PPM news updates, the latest addition to the site are trophies that teams have won.  The problem is, the trophies are a pro-pack feature only, which is absolutely stupid!

a) Non pro-pack users can't see any trophies
b) Pro-pack users can't even see other non-pro-pack users trophies

I put this to you... what good is a trophy if you can't show it off?

I'm sorry PPM, Epic fail on this one!

Latest PPM Team Update

The PPM team recently posted a new update regarding the stats from season 1.  It can be found by visiting the Power Play Manager Magazine page.  I have also copied it below.

Hello friends,

I bring a lot of good news today. Since the last time we have managed to implement a few more features that I think you will enjoy. First of all, we have opened the chat about a player on the market to all users. This was previously a PRO feature but we decided that it would be better if it was available to everyone.

We know how difficult it can be to find teams from your country in the Champions' League or Cup Winners' Cup. Therefore we have created a page under "Tournaments" called "Countries" where you can easily find all the teams taking part in these competitions from any country that you select.

We have also implemented the league forums. You can now easily access your league forum (or create a forum for your league if no one has done it yet) from the "League" menu. Discuss with your fellow league members and keep the league community alive. You can easily put your league forum to your favorite threads by clicking the pale grey star to the left of the thread title.

The best news, at least for me, is the fact that now you can see player statistics from the previous season. I like stats and I think this is a great improvement. Even more importantly you can see the playoff stats too. But only the quarterfinals, semifinals, bronze medal games and finals in every league count. So if your team has not qualified into the top 8 playoffs the stats of your players in the playoffs for minor positions will not be recorded. Placement games for 5th to 8th place do not count as well. In the player profile under "Detailed stats" you can see the breakdown of his stats based on the type of games he has played. Here you can also find stats from the previous seasons. These changes affect the League - Statistics page, the Players - Statistics page and also the Detailed stats page in the player profile as I have mentioned.

I would like to mention that the page which shows the progress of the Overall Team Rating is not working properly at the moment. Please do not panic. Your OTR is still being calculated properly only the page sometimes shows incorrect values. We will be working on fixing this problem.

Finally I would like to ask you to vote for our game by click this link:
