- Detailed financial management tools, based on revenues and expenses based on ticket sales, team performance, salaries, projected budgets, and cash trades.
- Player suspensions for excessive penalty minutes or causing injury.

- Players do not receive a set number of injury days. Instead they are listed as Day to Day, 1-3 weeks, etc. Players then recover at different rates, according to their DU rating. That way you don't know exactly how many games a player will miss. In fact, if you have enough off days, he may not miss any games at all!
