We've just released a hotfix for FHM2, version 2.8.63, to correct some small issues with the previous update. The correct seeding and home advantages should now be applied in later rounds of the current NHL playoffs and in some historical seasons where it wasn't using the correct format; additionally, historical budgets have been adjust in the late Original 6 - early expansion eras so teams should now have enough money to sign a full roster and a reasonable number of reserves, which should prevent issues with too many good young players not getting signed.
To apply the update if you are playing the eSellerate version of the game, simply download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course. If you are on Steam, the update should occur automatically, either as soon as we make the file available or when you launch the game, depending on your Steam settings.

Your existing savegames will be compatible with the updated game, but any fixes involving the database updates in the update will require a new start to be fully effective, and some of the update's fixes may not retroactively correct certain problems in existing saves.
