The Away advantage does only occur for the very best teams at senior level. I guess you can find at least a small advantage for about 400-500 teams. For some unknown reason: the better team, the bigger the away advantage. That's why you see the most extreme results in WLTS or other top leagues (WL1, Poland, Romania, Sweden etc) and not at all at U18 level. At the best senior top leagues (over time) the Away team wins up to 55-60% of the matches, 11% draw and 29-34% = home win.
The away advantage "fade away" when you look at lower level of senior leagues and the lower you get it disappears completely.
That is true my friend. In U18 I am better at home and I have many big titles there. So if you count U18 and U21/U23 Crew did not find anything about the away boost. But like bebben says it is stronger (away boost) when you have a better A-Team. Thats why we can see strange results in WLTS for the away teams. I know what i am talking about there also with lots of big titles. But if you have a good team the chances of winning is Of course much larger obviously.
But we all can turn it around and say that away is home. That is what I am thinking. I love away games in cups. If I meet the best teams at home I am out, like most of us. But these days I don’t have a good team anymore and my matches are not good statistic to compare here. I am playing for fun for now, but I'll be back when I want too. When we have a new sim maybe? 😃
So we need a new sim yes. It would be fun to remove some bugs. But it is expensive and time-consuming perhaps and Footboll is the bigger game. So hockey is number two 🤷♂️

Gathering together from countries around the world, we would like to unite in one reason and ask you to upgrade hockey SIM. During last years we have been improving our teams, optimizing strategy and tactics to fit into sim but even sharing experience and knowledge we observe growing unbalance and irrational results. The game become very lottery and it is hard to continue develop of players and teams without stabilization of sim engine itself.
The most critical points are:
- The advantage when playing away
- Return from shorthanded game to 5 on 5 play
- Unrealistic one on one play
- Short cross-passing (across ice) by defenders
- Scout games without any correlation into "normal" games
- Balance of players skills
As society we are open for discussion and any support you would need from our side to make next step for ManagerZone Hockey SIM … it is about time
We will ask all manager to sign below voluntary to show how many of us care about hockey and would like to continue compete between each other for next years …
Good analysis 👍

Like bebben says the statistic is not in favor for away teams in every age overall. But that is just the results Crew compered. We all know how strong it is. If the check goals och shoots for the away teams, maybe crew had seen the game in a different way?
- Return from shorthanded game to 5 on 5 play
Agree. It is terrible.
- Unrealistic one on one play
Agree here too.
- Short cross-passing (across ice) by defenders

ost annoying part of the game. Who has not lost important matches this way with a great team on the ice? But in the long terms maybe it evens out?
- Scout games without any correlation into "normal" games
The game needs money. We need too support MZ. But the need too check this out for sure. Do something that we like. Maybe they will earn more money if we can decide home/away in a scout game? But still, I am against this scouting thing. I like to play in equal terms. But it is a thing for MZ to survive. So I can live with that ☺️
- Balance of players skills
Yes, we all train players the same. The game hockey is easy to understand. But tactics is hard, so you can win games there if you find some good ones 😃

That is a terrible idea. MZ must survive!
