r/canucks (DrunkenTeddy)

2) Is the the site easy to navigate as a newcomer?
It's a bit of a struggle to navigate, but I'm sure i'll get used to it

3) Did you have any trouble creating your player?
No

4) Did you use the video/written tutorial when creating your player? If yes, did it help?
I used the written one and it help, but at times, seemed to add some confusion

5) What would you like to do while waiting for the SMJHL Draft?(Example: Prospect Tournament)
Prospect tourney would be cool. Earn some points while you wait and see how your player will sim

6) Give us one suggestion to make this site easier on new members.
Maybe a side panel with quick links that direct you to any and all tutorials. I have trouble finding where the rookie tutorial is. In fact, I have trouble finding my update post, etc. I did find a way through my profile to easily access any of my posts, so that's cool

1) How did you find us?

Reddit (r/FantasyHockey)

2) Is the site easy to navigate as a newcomer?

Not really, but I'm sure with time I'll be able to figure it out.

3) Did you have any trouble creating your player?

Nope, player creation was pretty good.

4) Did you use the video/written tutorial when creating your player? If yes, did it help?

I used the video and a bit of the written as well. It helped a lot but still not 100% sure about what I'm supposed to be doing now.

5) What would you like to do while waiting for the SMJHL Draft? (Example: Prospect Tournament)

Prospect tournaments would be cool, training camps, maybe have a newbie tournament/game you can only participate in once so people learn how everything works.

6) Give us one suggestion to make this site easier on new members.

To be honest, you're not going to be able to make it a ton easier while still using forums. The best way would be to create an actual profile page where you can see all your stats/points and increase them like in the player creation page.

Sure a prospect tournament would be interesting.
6) Give us one suggestion to make this site easier on new members. Had a bit of difficulty navigating the forums at first. Wasnt too bad. Streamline? I dunno.

1) How did you find us? A post on reddit

2) Is the the site easy to navigate as a newcomer? Somewhat - wish there was a bit more post indexing, so it was easier to track stats, TPE, and updates.

3) Did you have any trouble creating your player? Nope

4) Did you use the video/written tutorial when creating your player? If yes, did it help? I did not.

5) What would you like to do while waiting for the SMJHL Draft?(Example: Prospect Tournament) Anything to learn how the game works and to gain more points, basically to get better.

6) Give us one suggestion to make this site easier on new members.

Have a profile page, instead of just forum based.

Not too difficult but takes a bit to get used to

3) Did you have any trouble creating your player?
No

4) Did you use the video/written tutorial when creating your player? If yes, did it help?
I used the written one. It helped.

5) What would you like to do while waiting for the SMJHL Draft? (Example: Prospect Tournament)
Prospect tournament sounds fun. Not sure what else.

6) Give us one suggestion to make this site easier on new members.
Some simple frontend would be great. i.e. a page that shows my player info/attributes, TPE, training I can do, etc.

1) How did you find us?

Friend drafted me

2) Is the the site easy to navigate as a newcomer?

Not without instruction, luckily I had someone show me personally how to navigate, once you do it a few times you’re good.

3) Did you have any trouble creating your player?

No, then again had some help from my GM

4) Did you use the video/written tutorial when creating your player? If yes, did it help?

No

5) What would you like to do while waiting for the SMJHL Draft?(Example: Prospect Tournament)

Be able to earn money towards equipment

6) Give us one suggestion to make this site easier on new members.

Set up a ghost players update thread with links to training, scores, pt’s, claim threads...

*Carpy48* · 02-16-2019, 04:46 PM

1) How did you find us? Saw a post on reddit

2) Is the the site easy to navigate as a newcomer? To be honest, no. It's easy to set up a new player, but in order to find out all the little things you have to do in order to get anywhere,... wasn't and still isn't easy to find out.

3) Did you have any trouble creating your player? That was the easiest part.

4) Did you use the video/written tutorial when creating your player? If yes, did it help? No.

5) What would you like to do while waiting for the SMJHL Draft?(Example: Prospect Tournament) I think I'll be part of the Prospect Tournament already. Other than that, I'll try to find my way around here.

6) Give us one suggestion to make this site easier on new members. Put a step-by-step guide in one place where it's impossible to miss it, perhaps in the top menu. Or create a good video how-to-guide.

2) Is the the site easy to navigate as a newcomer? Takes some time to get used to...Im starting to get the hang of it

3) Did you have any trouble creating your player? Nah

4) Did you use the video/written tutorial when creating your player? If yes, did it help? Written helped a lot

5) What would you like to do while waiting for the SMJHL Draft?(Example: Prospect Tournament) Prospect Tounry I guess

6) Give us one suggestion to make this site easier on new members. Maybe a video tutorial that goes along with the whole new player tutorial (making money etc.)

1) How did you find us?
I saw a recruitment post on r/fantasyhockey and thought it'd be fun to be on the other side of the fantasy.

2) Is the the site easy to navigate as a newcomer?
It seems as easy to navigate as an entirely text-based forum can get. There are tutorials everywhere and they help set you up to successfully navigate as best they can.

3) Did you have any trouble creating your player?
The only trouble I had was understanding how the banking/linking player updates for training worked. It seems like there'd be an extra step in there to use the money on a personal training thread to claim the training and then link to that in the update post. As it is, it's more like pointing to a bank receipt that the money was pulled out as proof you did the training. However, it skips a step so it's probably easier on your updaters. Maybe just an extra line in the tutorial that you only need to link the bank withdrawal post and describe the training in the update post with no intermediate steps.

4) Did you use the video/written tutorial when creating your player? If yes, did it help?
I used the written tutorial and it helped greatly.

5) What would you like to do while waiting for the SMJHL Draft?(Example: Prospect Tournament)
I think the prospect tournament would be great. Also, a tutorial surrounding how to navigate the simulator would be helpful.

6) Give us one suggestion to make this site easier on new members.
Perhaps explain in the tutorial that you don't need to advertise yourself in order to get drafted. I was confused as to how active I needed to be to get noticed but was reassured privately that a team will pick me up.

1) How did you find us?

- I saw a post about SHL on reddit back in october 2018, i checked it out, but i was busy with other commitments, but noted that it was right up my alley.
2) Is the the site easy to navigate as a newcomer?
- not really. ive been keeping a tab open with the search page open, not to search, but because it features a light version of a site map.
3) Did you have any trouble creating your player?
- not too much. a lot of the rookie tutorials link to the old site, so i had to do some parts multiple times.
4) Did you use the video/written tutorial when creating your player? If yes, did it help?
- the video helped, the written was semi helpful.
5) What would you like to do while waiting for the SMJHL Draft?(Example: Prospect Tournament)
- the prospect tournament is interesting to me. the rookie discord can be intimidating because it is dominated by players who have already done everything before (second generation rookies).
6) Give us one suggestion to make this site easier on new members.
- all of my real problems have been solved through private messages with GMs and mentors. everyone has been very helpful. maybe combine the rookie tutorial thread a bt so that it doesnt span or link back to the old site?

I found you through r/Canucks
2) Is the the site easy to navigate as a newcomer?
It was tough at first, but once you start getting deeper it gets easier

The auto creator messed up for me, but the mentors helped me through it

Yes, and yes, both helped greatly

2) Is the the site easy to navigate as a newcomer?
No, I still have no idea where anything is
3) Did you have any trouble creating your player?
No, that was easy!
4) Did you use the video/written tutorial when creating your player? If yes, did it help?
Yes, and still a bit confusing

I'd like to understand what's going on here a little better, the prospect tournament was fun
6) Give us one suggestion to make this site easier on new members.
I still have no idea really how to earn/keep track of "money" and tpe. It seems like everyone on the discord "gets it" a little better than I do - but i'm trying!

1) How did you find us?

Have been on the VHL for some time and my guy @StamkosFan asked me to come check it out. Well he didn't really asked me, he asked Peace and then I came to him.

2) Is the the site easy to navigate as a newcomer?

Haven't tried to navigate it on my own yet because Stammer is helping me out with it all.

3) Did you have any trouble creating your player?

No. Let me tell you, this system is way better than NSHL's

4) Did you use the video/written tutorial when creating your player? If yes, did it help?

Didn't use it really.

5) What would you like to do while waiting for the SMJHL Draft?(Example: Prospect Tournament)

Not sure. I've heard its soon so we'll see.

6) Give us one suggestion to make this site easier on new members.

I know its very hard but having everything automated is always nice instead of having to link every post.

***hotdog*** · 02-19-2019, 11:38 AM

1) How did you find us?

r/fantasyhockey

2) Is the the site easy to navigate as a newcomer?

My first 2-3 times on the site, no, but the learning curve was quick and easy. By the 4th-ish time I logged on, it was super easy and intuitive

3) Did you have any trouble creating your player?

Nope, the tutorials are super helpful

4) Did you use the video/written tutorial when creating your player? If yes, did it help?

Used the written one, it was extremely helpful

5) What would you like to do while waiting for the SMJHL Draft?(Example: Prospect Tournament)

I think what you've done is great - the discord group and prospect tournament

6) Give us one suggestion to make this site easier on new members.

I think the tutorials are great; my one suggestion would be to have one organized page linking to all the tutorials - I feel like I wound up clicking through several to get to the right spots. They're awesome though.
