Secondly, the Steam version was released with the newest patch included, so there is no need to update it (no other update was released after its initial release).
For your scheduling problem: I guess you talk about a custom league with NHL like structure (16 and 14 teams in conferences)?
Leagues with the same number of teams in each conference can schedule inter-conference games (it is the difference between div + conf and total games). Leagues with a different number of conference teams can't schedule inter-conference games, the difference between div + conf and total games will be transformed to conf games as well.

Actually no on all counts, I uninstalled both versions and reinstalled the steam version however when I tried to play it would hang and not respond in task manager, Once I installed the patch from this site then the steam version started working without hanging. As for the league it is not a custom league it is an opening day pure vanilla NHL leagues for which I play montreal. In my saved game I played the first season with no problem and then started the second season. However after a while I noticed this was my 7th game against the rangers and I checked the schedule to realise that my entire schedule was against the other division in my conference so I fast forwarded through the season to see what was on the league edit screen, I selected edit league and saw that the games against conference was set to 82 and thought maybe I had edited it my mistake at some point. So I set the games vs division to 30 and games vs conference to 24 and saved and generated a new schedule, Everything looked fine on the league edit screen so I looked at my schedule. Now I was playing teams in my div and conf but nothing against the west, SO I went back to edit league and saw that games vs conf had set ITSELF to 52 the difference between 30 games in div and 82 total games, So I started looking for a place to set the out of conf games but found none, So I started another new league looked at the league edit screen and saw that the games vs div and games vs conf were set to 0 by default, I decided to try and generate a new sched to see it the problem would reappear and sure enough it generated a sched with 82 games vs conf, That is when I deinstalled and reinstalled as explained before( which did not go so well as stated above) and I still cannot generate a sched were I play games vs the western conf,
So I am at a lost as to what to do next, I have a saved game NHL where all I have done was generate a new sched and I have a saved game where I am in my 3rd season both with the same problem. Both are Steam 1.6.19 versions running on windows 7 and I have been playing since version 1.3.1 with only a small problem on version 1.6.1 where I could not get past July 1st. Apart from that all as been ok. I start a new league with every new patch.
Please help
PS thanks for all the work by the way it is not perfect but it is by far the best Hockey game out there and takes about 80% of my playing time. Only one thing bothers me and it is the automatic reorg of my lines and their ice time without any warning whenever someone gets hurt or gets a misconduct, Apart from that great game,
