Problems with AHL teams regardless of what they are have been well documented, especially by Ciccarelli's tracking of who is signing who, and for what etc..
As for the saved game issue, I am sorry, but I have to agree with gmerger. I HAVE been critical of this game, I fully admit that, and I have taken some knocks on the forum because of it, but I paid for a full product. I participated in BETA, and I had lofty expectations for what a lengthy testing period with a lot of dedicated supporters could provide to the gaming world, especially with OOTP Baseball's track record as being such an amazing game. I am sure people uploaded A LOT of files during the BETA period, but come September 3rd, we expect YOU to do the work FOR US.. The BETA period exists for us to help test the product. After release it all comes down to you. You're giving us what was supposed to at least be a nearly finished product.
Many have said that they wanted OOTP Baseball but applied to hockey, and I have to agree.. i expected the same thing: the UI is friendly, and easy to use. Information is right at your fingertips seemingly all the time. Instead, they started from scratch. One thing I find to be frustrating is the 4+ inch gap between a player's name and where the stats/ratings start, regardless of what resolution I play the game in. With no grid lines etc.. following some of that can be extremely difficult.
So this is my venting session... Go ahead and flame away, tell me how great the game is, tell me how much faith you have in the developers. I have faith in them as well.. They have given me generation upon generation of a game that I continue to buy, and I NEVER grow tired of. I NEVER put OOTP aside because the game gets boring, and when I am looking for something different, it is always the first thing I load up..
Truth is though, my faith and confidence is starting to slip a bit.. FHM is a flop, and I hope they can recover it, but only time will tell...
