Myself and other Game Changers / community day attendees been answering a lot of questions in this thread on the EA Forums:

Although I'm open to answering Q's here as well. For anyone unsure of scheduling:

Quote:

GM Connected uses the real NHL schedule. To play the games, the commissioner selects a "tick length," which can be anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks I believe. The length of this tick represents an actual portion of the NHL schedule. So when you enter your GM Connected, you will see all the games your NHL team has scheduled in real life as playable during that tick. So for example, let's say I'm the Flyers, and the commissioner sets the league tick for 2 weeks. The first time I start my GM Connected as Philly, I will see all their games on the first two weeks of the schedule, let's say October 11-25. THU OCT 11, 2012 BRUINS FLYERS 7:00 PM SAT OCT 13, 2012 FLYERS ISLANDERS 7:00 PM THU OCT 18, 2012 PENGUINS FLYERS 7:00 PM SAT OCT 20, 2012 JETS FLYERS 7:00 PM THU OCT 25, 2012 FLYERS CANADIENS 7:30 PM Now the game will indicate whether these teams are human or AI controlled, and I can play them in any order. So if the GM of the Penguins is on but the Bruins guy isn't, I can still play my game against the Penguins even though it isn't "next" on the schedule. The length of time for advancing the tick will be informal and vary league by league. So let's say your league decides that you will advance your schedule every REAL 5 days. So you have 5 days to play all your league games and once the commish advances, any unplayed games will be simmed. The schedule will then change to October 26-November 9, and you will have all your team's games from those two weeks available to play in the next five days, and so on.
