SHOWCASE TOURNAMENTS & RIVALRIES • The Great Lakes Classic and Harbor Cup are now early-season events — the top 2 programs from two conferences play a genuine holiday bracket, with a real consolation game that counts in the record book. • Only your 3 fiercest rivals carry the rivalry badge now, and a brand-new dynasty starts with a handful of rivalries already in place. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT • Running Revenue Share negative now has real consequences — an escalating warning ladder leading to Financial Distress, with two real ways to dig out. • Booster Dinners and Booster Pressure moments can now net NIL Collective money (or cost you some). • Rebuilding programs get an occasional shot at a hire above their station. • Facilities can now be downgraded, not just built up, to right-size your program. YOUR ROSTER • Your best players now feel real pressure to perform at their role and archetype. They get a temporary mood swing. • Player development got deeper: a hidden "makeup" factor, a softened age curve for upperclassmen, and real developmental setbacks from heavy injury seasons. • A broken lineup now tells you exactly what's wrong and offers to Auto-Fix it — AI lineups auto-fill short-handed spots too. • The Bye Week screen does a better job showing the impact of every activity. POSTSEASON • All-Conference and All-American defensemen now get real credit for offense, not just shutdown play. • Game previews (with a live Watch Game option) are now consistent everywhere — tournament games, League Scores, and team profiles. • A season with multiple championships now displays every title badge. • Simulating a tournament can now skip straight to the results. A QUIETER, SHARPER NEWS FEED • Repeated banner types (Mock Draft, Awards Race, Milestones) roll up into one. Rivalry doubleheaders get one banner instead of two. • Marquee stories now show up the week they happen, sorted chronologically, with richer injury context and more varied headlines. ALSO NEW • New dynasties no longer start with a fully undrafted league — a realistic slice ofupperclassmen already hold pro draft rights, just like real college hockey. • Fun Stats: a new tab under League → Stats → History with hotbeds, streaks, draft steals, and more. • Countless smaller fixes across the Draft, Offseason transitions, player animations, and league news.
