    TIPS: How to find a team or players for your team (NHL 25)

    SportGamers,

    Our community is growing with new members every year. From time to time we are asked for tips on how to find a team or how to find players for your team.  In this post, we have put together a few links to our forum where you can either search for a team or sign up as a free agent. You'll also find some tips at the end, that might be just what you need to connect with that new group of potential teammates. This post is mainly intended for the European audience that is interested in playing in the European Championship League.

     

    Free Agents EU - PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S


    In this forum section, you can register as a free agent or search for new players for your team. 
    You will find a "reply to topic" section under the last message on the page where you can post your own free agent message. In this message, you can briefly tell us about yourself, what position you are looking to play, and how to best reach you.

    Please note that a community account is required in order to post a message. Please also note that this forum section is only for free agent messages.
     

    Testing a new Free Agency Team feature

    We have received requests that free agents would like to have the free agency status appear on their player card, so we want to test a basic version of this functionality here on SportsGamer. if you wish to participate, send a private message to @SG Free Agent Admin with your PSN ID/Gamertag. You will receive an invitation to the Free Agent team on SportsGamer and by accepting it, this will give you the status visible on your player card.

    Please note that the invitation is usually not immediate and can take some time. Also, note that whatever positions and favorite position you have selected on your player card when accepting the invitation is what will appear in your free agency profile.

    You can browse the Free Agent team here.

    Once you find a new team you can join it right away and send a message to @SG Free Agent Admin (who is the captain of the Free Agent team), and you will be removed from the free agency. If the system is received well, it can later be automated with smoother functionality and more user-friendly options.

    While this new approach will help list free agents and offer an additional way to be seen, for the best result in finding a team we still recommend following the other tips in this news story!
     

    EU Clubs looking for players - PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S

     

    In this section of the forum, you can let everyone know when your team is looking for players, which means free agents can find teams by browsing this thread. You will find a "reply to topic" section under the last message on the page. Here you can write your "club looking for players" post where you tell us about the club and what kind of player you are looking for. You can look for good tips for your post in the numerous posts written by other clubs.

    Please note that both of these above-mentioned forum threads are meant only for writing the "ads". When you see something you're interested in, please use private messaging (e.g. SportGamer, Discord, PSN or Xbox Live) to contact them. Usually, the writer of the post will let you know how to best get in touch. So here is your reminder: whenever you post, remember to mention how to best get in touch with you.

     

    Useful tips

    In addition to these previous tools, we recommend you to be active and try to play as much as possible.

    • On our Discord server, you will find a section called "free for tonight"
      In this section, you can sign up for free play and of course, if you're lucky you might find some people that want to play with you in the future.
       
    • Another good tip that works is to add "FA" or "Free Agent" to your player's name in the game so that your teammates and opponents can see during the game that you are looking for a team.

     

    There you have it! We hope you find these tips useful. Feel free to share your advice in the comments. Good luck finding the perfect match!

    I think a great feature on this website would be a list of free agents where a player can add their own xbox/psn id. Add a couple of required multi-choice questions like division / position / language / role (starter/backup), a single-choice like closest server, and a long free text field for additional information like availability and contact details. On top of that, show the divisions the player has played in the last few seasons from your own database. And while you're at it, create the same feature for teams looking for players too :) Heck, even add an 'Alert Me' setting when a team/player matches with your filters 💆 And ohhh baby when a free agent is signed, have it has a system-assisted process which automatically creates a forum post of a signing so we can all cheer on that!

    I think this would greatly reduce the time teams spend to find suitable players and vice versa. It would also give new players a better chance of being signed when their 'post' is displayed similar to the community legends.
