First, I hope this game will be great, and top EHM 2007!

That being said, this latest patch, with its improvements and all, is so unstable. Playing into a third season, it has crashed many times, and eventhough it will eventually reload and move on, it continues to crash from me simply taking one guy out of the lineup for another, or from nothing done other then simply simming through.

Now, the thing that really annoyed me, the game crashed and when I reload it on the 4th attempt to move a day, a created player I made, who was leading my team in defense-man points, is suddenly gone. I have him shortlisted and he is now listed as A AJ, so I click on him and it turns out to be Luke Adam of the Buffalo Sabres. Not my team and not my player, ARGH!

If we can't even edit free agents to make a player of our choosing without the game breaking, then the fun goes out the window. I have been massively patient as we all have, but this is a released version of a game, nearly two months into its full release and you can't manage to make it past a few seasons, unless you touch nothing and edit nothing, which seems to be the only thing that lets you keep going. So frustrating!

Tack on the things like star players dropping massively in rating, within a few seasons. Example, Claude Giroux rated 8.5 to start put up 69 pts in the first season, then 50 plus points in season two. Then as the third season is going along he drops to an 8 rated player and puts up 44 pts playing first line minutes. This is just one player, but there are many examples of this, and that is with aging on very slow, which helps it some, but still way unrealistic.

As great as having Historic and Custom stuff is, I actually wish for the rest of this versions life, those were no longer worked on, and the core present game was worked on until it was awesome.

It is just so frustrating to put a lot of time into 2 or 3 seasons, and then having to start from scratch, yet again!
