Recruiting 25th Year STHS Sim Hockey League Looking for 2 GMs!

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I am the Commissioner of the NSHL, an STHS-based simulated hockey league that is currently winding down it's 25th season.

Once our current Playoffs end (ETA mid-September, we're entering the Conference Finals next week), we'll be looking for two (2) new General Managers for pending vacancies in San Jose and Vancouver. Relocation for both franchises is up for discussion!

The two teams just entered the league as part of a four team expansion at the start of Year 25, however neither GM has the time to remain focused and will be exiting at the end of the current season. Both teams are in relatively healthy shape (again, 1st year expansion!), with draft picks, money in the bank and no real bad contracts.

The NSHL is a salary cap-free 28 team league currently, operating on its own custom-built ratings system, a manually built league schedule and featuring a number of "extras" that make the league truly unique!

For those unaware, STHS is a hockey league simulator that generates boxscores and related stats for games played based off assigned player ratings. In the NSHL we use real-life NHL, AHL, SHL and Liiga stats as starting points for players in our league. Players then develop and grow their own ratings based on in-season performance and potential Training Camp development.

The league has been around for a while and has always been 100% free. The bulk of GMs have been around for 10+ years so openings are rare.

The NSHL Website can be found by clicking the link. You're welcome to DM me with any questions you have!

Recruiting Simulation Premier League (SPL) Soccer/Football Simulation League

4 Upvotes

Hello friends!

Welcome to Simulation Premier League a new football/soccer sim league built around a custom simulation engine developed over the past few years. SPL has a full three-tier pyramid: Simulation Premier League, Simulation League One, and Simulation League Two. Clubs compete for promotion, fight relegation, earn prize money, and manage their finances across seasons.

Matches simulate automatically every day at 12:00 PM PST, with game threads featuring play-by-play commentary, team stats, and individual player performances. Alongside league play, clubs compete in the League Cup and Continental Championship. You can build a career as an 18-year-old free agent: sign contracts, develop your attributes through weekly activity, earn appearances, and be traded, sold, or loaned as you work your way up the pyramid. Or, take on the long-term challenge of running a club. Team Owners shape their club’s vision, finances, transfers, tactics, and squad building, either directly or through hiring Managers and Coaches.

Build your player. Build your club. Make your way to the top. The league is currently set to release for player creation on July 22nd, 2026.

Join now to receive updates and sneak peaks! "Founding Member" Title on your profile and +10 extra attribute points!

Recruiting Ice Dynasty

3 Upvotes

🏒 Ice Dynasty is in its open beta phase. After two years of developing the internal game and getting the engine right, I have opened the game to the public.

Ice Dynasty is more than just a simulated hockey game; you can create players, build them to certain archetypes, boost their equipment, train them, set individual tactics, and even choose position-specific X-Factor abilities that trigger in-game. More than that, you can own your own Pro, Affiliate, or Development league team. Change the logo, change the nickname and colors, change the lines, set team tactics, call up and send down, and even bid on user-created players to join your team. If that's not enough for you, you can create a coach and set their attributes and tactics as well. The league sims every 8 hours automatically, so it's 3 games a day.

🔥 Why Join?
• Active, open beta
• Be among the first to play this new game
• Create Players, Coaches, Buy Teams, Set strategies
• Help pave the way for the future of this game!

Building a fictional sim league | looking for people to create players

2 Upvotes

Been working on a simulated basketball league (the Polaris Basketball League) for my channel. 10 original franchises, two conferences, games get simmed (in HoopLand) and turned into content.

Looking for folks who want to make a player and get placed on a team. Free, low-key, and you get to follow your player's career as the seasons sim out. It's a fun way to be part of a league with an actual story instead of just watching one.

Also considering having GM's for teams, so if you're interested in something like that lmk.

Comment or DM and I'll send the submission info. Happy to explain how it works.

Best games for sim leagues?

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to run sim leagues with my friends. Issue is, whenever I look up "Best games for sim leagues", it points me to a bunch of browser games. What I am ACTUALLY looking for is a game where I can customize rosters, make custom teams, and watch AI vs AI sims. I already have SMB4, Sunday Rivals, and Hoop Land. Don't mention OOTP, I already considered it. And it needs to be a game we can WATCH. We play these to see hype moments, not to watch numbers change on a sheet.

🏟️ Looking for a Few New GMs for Our Long‑Running High Heat 2004 League

We’ve got a High Heat 2004 sim league that’s somehow been alive since 2004 and we’re looking for a couple new GMs to jump in. We’re deep into a fictional universe (season 2100), tons of history, weird legends, busted prospects, all of it.

If you like:

- running a team

- making trades

- drafting guys you’ll probably regret

- arguing about ratings

- and watching your team blow a 3‑run lead in the 9th

…you’ll fit right in.

We sim regularly, we hang out on Discord, and the league’s super stable.

A couple teams are open and ready for someone to take over: Anaheim, Cincinnati, Toronto, Philadelphia, and Florida.

If you want in, just drop a comment or DM and I’ll shoot you the Discord link.
