Interface comments

Interface is much improved over last year, it's pretty colorful, matches up well with the team colours which gives you an immersion of controlling your real-life NHL team.

Though, the font is a bit small and hard to read, it's noticeably smaller than in OOTP (which includes a "maximized font size" option). There's a lot of blank space. Would there be any way to enlarge it the font size to greatly improve the readability? I tried some things like reducing resolution and making it full-screen, but it doesn't change the font size.

As well (just a presentation suggestion), I think the final score after playing out the games isn't obvious and should be a lot bigger, it's the same size as the player stats and other game details.

I agree on this one...

Could take the font size on the score numbers up 3 or 4 levels to make them stand out.

And totally unrelated... please, please, please give us an easy, integrated way to export game reports either to xml, html or even pdf.

I am going to be doing a season play-along in FHM 3 for a site to which I belong. I did a replay of last year over the summer, and it was such a pain in the butt to have to manually type things up in Word to then publish weekly update pdfs...

Just as an additional note, the interface generally uses a white font on dark background. Especially combined with the small font, it makes it harder, or at least less pleasant to read (even if it is overall visually appealing). I'd prefer a larger font option even if it means not all the info is on the immediate screen and I'd need to scroll a bit. By contrast, in OOTP the screens are mostly white background with dark fonts and are more readable.

The interface on the lowest resolution (windowed) is fine (even it doesn't hold as much info as a fullscreen); if there was a possibility to scale the fonts so that the proportions in the window are similar when full-screened (on say, a 1920x1080 screen) I think it'd be a great option.
