Using 1.03, playing a historical game (1967/68)

I traded for two teams' first round draft picks (Oakland and Pittsburgh). The trades appeared to go through OK (they showed up in the news and those picks were available in my trade screens afterwards), but on draft day, Oakland picked second and Pittsburgh fourth. Huh?

Scouting does not work. I cannot change any scouts assignments, and they never send me messages. This was reported in beta.

Garry Unger keeps getting negative SH minutes played, so he's showing up with scorelines like 1 G, -1, 3 TA, 1 GA in 0:50 played (5:40 at even strength, 1:04 on the PP and -5:... SH ... the minus sign preventing the seconds from showing up). It's a really intense 0:50, mind you, but not right.

Goal result (939) is showing up in the PBP on two lines, so:
Ellis scores! (
939)
**Note** That may not be the exact wording of the result, but the (
939) part is.

When I swap goalies between periods, the sub doesn't get credit for GP, so I had Bruce Gamble at 3 GP and 200 minutes.

Of these, only the trading of draft picks is a real big problem, but when you trade away six or seven OK players to get a chance at signing top draft picks and it doesn't happen, it ruins the 15 or so hours that go into running the season.

One annoying thing: It's still really hard to pick up players in the lines setup screen to drag them into the lineup. Shouldn't be that fiddley.

Overall, a really good product, especially for its first season, but still feels like it's in beta, honestly. Thanks and looking forward to a polished, finished hockey manager.
