Historic Mode

I mainly wanted to get the game for the historic mode and was wondering if some or a lot of the main issues people had found have been fixed or not before getting the game?

Despite the budget glitch (which gets fixed with the next update) the historic mode is playable and real fun, at least for me

There are still research issues, some pretty glaring (Bobby Orr is nothing like his real life counterpart for instance) plus all the issues that comes with the main game (some sub-par roster management and some major issues with contracts and budgets. Also there appears to be a hard stop in 2013... you can't play beyond that point so starting a late 90s, early 2000s is pretty unsatisfying.

I find I can play through 2 seasons before things breakdown and stop being credible, but then that's the same output I get out of a 2013 start game as well. Still along way to go IMO...

Is there a way to edit players to fix Orr?

Yes, but you'll need to do it every season since your changes will be overwritten every July 1st.

That doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't it save after you fixed it and saved it?

Because in historical mode players don't "evolve." Their ratings are sat from year to year. So essentially achieve year the players are overwritten.
