October 22, 2019 - (Comments Off on New options: hard/soft cap and flexible playoffs)
For pro leagues you can now switch between a hard/soft cap using God Mode.
For the pro basketball league structure you can now also adjust the playoff format (# of rounds, # of first round byes, # games in series).
You can read more background into this at https://basketball-gm.com/blog/2018/11/new-options-hard-soft-cap-and-playoff-byes/
For Zen GM in particular, you can use the pro basketball format for baseball and for college if you want to experiment with different playoff structures. For baseball you can use God Mode to change the number of games (but you will lose some baseball scheduling structure). For college you will lose the CT.
In the future I’ll look to bring this flexibility to the NT, CT, and baseball league formats. For now I’m planning on finishing bringing football over.
Quick bug fix update: the ROY for baseball sometimes broke the season summary page if the player was a pitcher. This is now fixed.
October 12, 2019 - (Comments Off on “Untouchable” players and picks in trades)
At play.zengm.com (which currently has Baseball and Basketball updated) you can now restrict trades to not include certain players.
This feature was brought over from Basketball GM. In the next few months I plan on bringing over any remaining feature gaps between Basketball GM and play.zengm.com. Once that gap is closed I anticipate keeping the code bases pretty much in line with very lit gap going forward.
For this particular feature you can read the full details in the original post https://basketball-gm.com/blog/2018/10/untouchable-players-and-picks-in-trades/.
Bug Fix
There was also an issue with the OVR in imported files after the last update. I reverted a change I had made there until I debug it better. The version is 2019.10.12.
October 9, 2019 - (Comments Off on Upgraded Layout, Dark Mode, Better Linking Among Games, Bug Fixes)
Once you get play.zengm.com refreshed you will see the layout has been overhauled. One key feature is the addition of links to the side bar on the left that were before kind of hidden above in dropdowns before.
In the Tools area you can now switch from Light Mode to/from Dark Mode at play.zengm.com.
I’ve added links to play.zengm.com in the other games. I’ve also added links to the games yet to upgraded at play.zengm.com (Hockey GM, College Football Coach, and Football GM) so users can have easy access to those as well. It is possible users of some games aren’t aware of the rest of games. So hopefully this reduces this across all the games.
Here are some bug fixes that were done along the way at
play.zengm.com:
For some of the games I had let the year get stale. I’ve updated that for the core games along with adding the play.zengm.com link. (FYI, you can change the year to anything you want by importing a file with the year. You can go to Tools/Export League and export the Game State to see all the things you can modify.)

The subreddit for Hockey GM is /r/ZenGMHockey.
Next I am going to review the gameSim for Football GM. After that I plan on upgrading all the games to be in line with the features in Basketball GM. This will give all the games such features as Multi-Team Mode, Auto-play, and more! Our oldest game is Baseball so that will start seeing new features come first. Next to join will be Football, then Hockey (it was actually started in late 2014), and then College Basketball and LOL will join in seeing new features.
After all the game upgrades are done we hope to be on top of any needed bug fixes (best places to let us know are e-mail, baseball@zengm, or posting on the game’s subreddit) and should continue to roll out new features. We also have tentative plans for Soccer GM and CSGO GM over the next year.
