Season 108 has ended + New objectives

 In HockeyArena we manage some good results, even if this wasn't our main goal. At the end of the regular season Cordurea Vikings go up to the 12 place, who bring us some prize money.

In the play-out however, we didn't had any oponent and Vikings easely win.

 

Al other teams don't had human managers sadly. The decreasing number of players is a serious problem, only 29 romanians are now in this game.

 For now, at the end of this season my finances are pretty stable.

 So, whit good amount of cash, with pasion and some free time, in the next season i have 3 major objectives:

1. develope the facilities, especially training facilities and youth

2. build a 10.000-12.000 seats Arena

3. create a U23 team to develope  young players(foscus on romanian players to help National Team)

 

End of season 51 in PPM Hockey + New updates in "Saving the Vikings" project

 

After a championship in which we rebuilt and reshaped the team, we finally managed to finish in 4th place during the regular season, which propelled us into the playoffs.

 

There, we managed to reach the semifinals, delivering a surprising defeat in Game 2 against Sportklub. Unfortunately, in the decisive match, the difference in strength between our teams became evident, and we had to leave the ice defeated.

 

A major achievement for our team (and a significant financial bonus, as well) was in the player statistics, where we ranked first in almost all categories (we were leading in the goaltender category too, but unfortunately, a match against Sportklub ruined all the percentages).

 

In the end, we can say that the reconstruction process is going according to plan. The arena is starting to take shape, and in a few days, the first section of 1,000 seats will be open to spectators. Soon, the other two sections will follow in the next season. At that point, we will feel an initial financial boost. Speaking of finances, every week we are earning a surplus of €5,000,000, which, for now, we will invest in increasing the arena's capacity.

HockeyArena - new winter project

 

After more than 10 years, I'm returning to one of the most beloved hockey management games, HockeyArena. I've been away for a long time, so I'm taking it easy, using a strategy similar to the one I used in PPM, divided into several stages:

1. Infrastructure

   • Expanding the arena to generate more money.
   • With the money earned, we’ll invest in facilities.

2. Once the facilities are developed, I can focus on developing players, so I’ll move on to the next stage: investment in players.

   • Creating a U23 team.
   • Buying young players (preferably romanian guys to help the national team) to develop them and build a competitive team
     

 

I noticed that I’ve been placed in the second league. It seems there aren’t many Romanian managers left in the game:

I have a fairly decent squad, but with many players over 26 years old:

 

The best one is this guy:

 

First match, first victory! 🎉

 

Season rewiew + new perspectives

     These days our football team, Carpeni Athletic finish the season in Top Eleven. Afther  a struggle in the beginning, we manage to secure the 4th position in the League who qualify us to the Champions League, our main objective.

    We also manage to improve some players, best of them: Zander Leslie.

 

    As the new season beggins, we focus our goals to the Champions League, the main objective. We also do not neglect the League and the Cup. At the end of the season we want the Quadruple achievement unlocked.

Zoltan Ritli - The New Duckadam - 4 penaltyes saved in one game!

 

    Second round in Trofeul Dunarea bring us against Henz, a good team from Constanta who played in the 5th league. Afther 90 minutes Carpeni stands one heroic performance, leading 1-0 with Hernán Crespo scoring in the 47th minute, with 2 key players, Mažvydas Ezelskis and Florian Niedzwiedzki leaving the field injured, and got equlized only in the 80th minute. Heinz had a lot of oportunities, but Zoltán Ritli says "Not today!".

    To bring more drama, this cup game ended 1-1 afther 120 minutes. Penalties!! An Ritli enter on the stage ...

None shall pass!!

Goodbye Dario + New project on saving the Vikings

         Afther a long meeting with the owners we develop a new plan to save the Vikings. Whit a lot of regret we must sell the old players, some of them club legends. The high salaries + low sponsor income & low arena income = bankruptcy and goodbye team. We design a few steps program:

- sell old players(except first line ;)

- bring players from academy even they are trash(low salary = saving money)

- buy some young players to replace the old ones(any quality bescause we don't have now the facilities to develop high skill ones)

- make some money ---> invest the money in the arena to produce big income

- make more income ---> invest the money in the facilities to produce and develope good players

     First player who leaves Cordurea Vikings is Dario Lustica, a croatian center who played over 600 games for Vikings.

     The transfer fee was not great, only 10.000 $, but we make an economy of 30.000/day, his salary.

First improvements

    After a long period in which we lost money, our club registers its first week on positive balance:

    More on this, with only 70.000 euro, we grab some youth talent.

First, a slovakian left defender, Konštantín Biellich for only 10.000:

 Second, a german right winger,  Malwin Gerner

 And another slovakian, left wing Marek Čuhák

 We will have a lot of work to develope this future prospects, but we are confident in our program.
