ok so im not an ace at this hockey aspect of mz

but what is ****ting me is what happens in matches. now i went through and carefully laid myself out a tactic that rotates the players as i want them to, with practically everyone getting a chance ta be on the ice one way or another. but when it comes to a match, only 10 players get time on the ice...what the feck is going on??

Are you sure you used all players in the first 4 lines as if you use the other players in your team (Outside the ten) in Power/Box Play they will never see time on the ice. I have 24 players used in my tactics though 21 only see the match because my other 3 youths are used in box/power play.

i have no problems with line changes here as well.. all 20 players and the goalie play during a game... the only thing that isn't correct, is the fact, that sometimes my first 2 lines only play 8 or 9 minutes during the game while the lower lines play the rest - in other games it works as it should do....
maybe you used your players in the special teams like Pontefract City already wrote...

i think ur sigs a lil too big there dasklee.... but neway... i only have about 12 players playing ... which has prolly resulted in my results being so poor.... havent won a match in about 20 games... and im still ranked 1000 ... :rolleyes: .. stick to footy i say...

ok my normal lines go like this (goin left ta right, top ta bottom, not includin goalie) :

l1: 9-3-13-4-2
l2: 11-22-16-1-12
l3: 7-13-5-18-20
l4: 12-3-16-2-15
pp1: 18-3-13-2-4
pp2: 9-11-12-20-16
bp1: 16-9-2-4
bp2: 22-12-13-15

so the players who are in the first four lines are:

9,3,13,4,2,11,22,16,1,12,7,5,18,20,15

now the guys who played in the last match were:
1,2,3,4,9,11,12,13,16,18 and my goalie who is 8

now no.1 one isnt even in my tactic, 5, 7, 15, 20, 22 all didnt play...thats an entire line worth of players

im not happy about it...imo if my team was fully rotated they would be fresher and perhaps get that one more goal to win a match...

you might have been right there mutt...

i_am_budge, did you fill in all the lines in all 3 tactics ? maybe your team is playing tactic A while you filled the lines in tactic B or C - i don't really think that's the reason, because by looking at your number of posts, you seem to be playing MZ for quite a while, but it COULD be the reason...

but yeah i might fill in my other lines...i didnt do them coz the first one took me ages...and i couldnt be bothered...but maybe thats the reason...even tho i select a for each of the matches...cheers das
