Historical Starting in 47-48

tcblcommish · 03-25-2013, 03:35 PM

Playing with the Chicago Black Hawks starting in the first seaon you can in the game and going as far as I can. One thing I have noticed this season is that the game is crashing randomly over the course of the season. Fortunately, there is only 6 teams so simming and saving is super fast and it's not that huge of a deal right now. I wish I could say that I could make these crashes happen all the time but they just kind of happen. If it crashes during a game one time, it doesn't the next time so I'm sure there is something floating around causing it to happen. Not a huge deal at this point of the beta, I'm sure that will all be fixed.

Another thing I noticed that there was hardly any injuries and didn't have to replace too many players during the season. I didn't touch any of the sliders or numbers at all so it's just at default. Not realy sure why there wasn't but I think there was only 4 injuries to my team all season and none longer than 10 days.

ok so here is the Chicago Black Hawks.

Here is the post season statistics for the Staney Cup winning Chicago Black Hawks. I was able to beat the Red Wings after squeaking into the playoffs and then being down 3-1 to the Wings in the finals. The Bentley's were amazing in the final series and really won the Cup

Rest of the league....

Are the crashes coming while you're simming, or when you do something specific, e.g. make a trade or signing? Historical mode is extremely stable when I run it hands-off (unemployed and not making changes in commissioner mode), so most of the crashes are likely coming when something goes wrong with player-initiated changes. So the more you can tell us about the specific circumstances of the crash, the better.

That's odd, and now that I look at my test game I see the same thing. We'll check it out.

Like I said, I'm not really doing anything at all. Was just simming to next game, then sim the game by clicking sim today or whatever the button is called. Sometimes it would crash before a game, then I would restart the program and it wouldn't crash the next time. I have no idea why it was crashing. The only thing I can say that I had going on is I set the training and scouting to not be me in the manager's options. I have no idea whose name was there but he was the one I picked to do it. I will say that it kinda screwed me a little bit because there was no scouting done and I don't think the training was changed up at all either. No big deal as I figured that wasn't really an active thing yet so I didn't say much about it.

I'm glad i said that then cause it wouldn't really be too much fun if the game has no injuries for past seasons

The first thing I actually noticed is the wins and the losses (of your goalies) not adding up.

Not to mention than the Hawks results seems a little too good...

tcblcommish · 03-26-2013, 12:53 AM

The wins and losses or just goalie stats themselves are messed up and is known. It'll be fixed in an update soon I assume

With using 1979 and uping Trades to 100 and other changes Game still likes to exit from time to time like in Decemeber and can't get past third season same with a 2012-13 and starting in second off season in NHL Trading Block/Trades Players stays Grayed out for NHL but other Leagues still Trade and even have save everyday on and shouldn't have to.
Know have done active present and former Blues on the Blues or Blues active Unsigned.

Ok, so I played out my 2nd season with the Hawks and found that there were quite a bit more injuries, which is good. Overall, not a great season for the Hawks, top 2 players missed quite a bit of time and hurt my chances. Last week of the season, I did manage to help Maurice Richard with the goal scoring title so that is something, lol.

Art Michaluk won the Norris Trophy this season. An average defenseman at best, was able to get the award. The 25 year old certainly had his best season, albeit his 2nd in the league, playing 58 games with 5 goals and 17 assists with a plus 22 and 68 hits. He also had 42 PIMs.

Johnny Bower won the save percentage award in his rookie season. Too bad his season was wasted because of the team missing the playoffs but he was spectacular.

tcblcommish · 03-26-2013, 04:43 PM

Here are the standings and some other stuff from the league...

tcblcommish · 03-26-2013, 06:07 PM

This season was solid again for injuries, had a few, probably not quite enough but more than the first one for sure. Something else I noticed, there has been no crashes since the first season has played so it must have been something from that first season.

As far as the Hawks go, I managed to pick up Doug Harvey in a trade for Glenn Hall and a minor leaguer, though Harvey really didn't have a great season. Now he wants to test free agency though I offered him a large contract to stay with a no trade clause, hoping that will get him to sign. I also lost Doug Bentley for the whole season which sucked but he came back for the playoffs which was a huge boost.

and some more

These results are very cool and I'm looking forward to this game!

I just wanted to drop a note that your playoff format is wrong for the era. In those years, the NHL played 1 vs 3 and 2 vs 4 (as opposed to 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3).

Anton · 03-31-2013, 11:58 PM

Speaking only for myself, I've found your posts very interesting and helpful as I'm still thinking of getting the game/alpha/beta early, and wouldn't mind seeing more if you put them up.

I think right now that is how the game has it setup. Of course I could be mistaken. Not sure if you can change that yet.
