Known Issues Mega Thread - v1.2.10

Well since there doesn't seem to be a thread for this, and rather than have the information strewn about several different ones ... feel free to post a Bug/Balance/GUI issue and I'll do my best to keep this up to date


BUGS : (updated Oct 10, 2013)

- When offered a trade and seleting "Discuss Trade" in the news item, the trade screen acts as if you're in control of the other team
- NHL Entry Draft Preview showing up on "General Messages" instead of "Hockey News Network"
- Shootout that is tied after 3 rounds should result in the next rounds each team getting a shot. If the 1st team shooting scores, the game ends without the 2nd team getting their shot.
- Older Player Limits (players 20 years old) not being enforced in Canadian Junior Leagues

BALANCE ISSUES

- Home Advantage is currently too strong.
- Players with disproportionate amount of goals vs assists (ie Cy Young numbers ... 63g14a)
- Player contracts ... reports that players with no NHL experience demanding 5m/year after entry level expires
- Trade AI needs some major tweaking. I suspect the AI over values current rating vs potential rating as it's far too easy to steal a young undeveloped superstar for a bag of pucks.

[Mordrehl]

GUI ISSUES

- filter and sorting choices not always remembered when switching between information screens
- filter choices too limited
- no viable search option (ie search entire database of players using a custom filter ... age, position, rating, attributes)
- Button sensitivity on Mac. Needing to click each menu item multiple times. There seems to be a tiny sweetspot on each button that you need to hit for the command to work.
- In LineUp screen it would be nice to be able to fill some spots with some players and have the option for your assistant to "complete" the lineup.
- You can set the team role of a player (Key, Core etc) but on the Contract screen everyone appears as a "Normal" player

[Mordrehl]

GAME SYSTEMS

- Scouting needs a major overhaul. There is no indication from scouting of what "type" of player a young gun is. No indication they're a power forward, or a defensive defencemen.

Indeed there is a bug thread there ... that nobody has bothered to consolidate into a point by point break down of the known issues. Since the developers appear to not have the desire or time to do so I thought I'd take a stab at it ... this way people can check one consolidated thread rather than hunt through 20+ pages.

This is a neat list for forum members to review, it's NOT where developers are looking. They would like issues and explanations of those issues in the Bugs thread. I'm sure they have their own lists of issues to resolve based on the bug thread. A forum thread (even the bug thread) is NOT what they should be working off.

There's a project database with a compilation of bug reports and new feature requests available to the devs and members of the beta team. That's what the devs work off.

Fair enough, but there is nothing for the consumer or general public to compare beyond posting the same bug again unless they wade through pages of threads

But, since there seems to be nothing but negativity towards this idea (strange, since every other game I've ever been an active member of a forum has had a thread such as this ... which makes it far easier as a consumer to keep track of), I'll mind my business and we can just wander around in confusion without information easily and readily available

well it has nothing to do here post it in the bug report thread instead.thats why there is a bug thread so they can go through it.dont understand why ppl are still posting bugs in the general discussion part of the forum it shouldent be here and thats why they have a specific one to post in

Nowhere did I encourage people to not post a bug in the bug thread ... this was simply an attempt to consolidate the information for anybody new or looking to see if what they were experiencing was already known etc

But, seeing nothing but push back ... forget it, I'm not going to waste my time pouring through threads to try and gather information for others who are ungrateful or ignorant of the purpose of such a thread.

I actually thought it was a good idea. I think some folks are just a little too sensitive given all the negativity around FHM and so somehow viewed this a negative thing, it's not though, in fact it could actually be positive. So please don't take the complaints personally. You had a good idea.

[Risk2014]

This is a good idea!! Since no one has fixed things that were posted on the bug thread, they actually made the new patxh worse!

What he said.

I can respect a little altruism when I come across it. I think the OP was pretty clear that his intent was to summarize existing bug reports and not to create another post encouraging new bug reports. Looks like a solid idea to me...bug reports in the proper forum and a neat summary here.

[GMO123]

I thank and applaud you for taking the initiative to create a thread such as this.

However I think this thread or something like it should go in the bugs forum area.
Whenever something from this thread is fixed then it should be crossed off so we know what is left to be fixed.

However, again, I think you have a good idea and should be thanked for the effort.

FHM needs more people with good ideas to support it because it's going through some rough times now.

[geckon]

This is a good idea IF all those issues are posted to the bug thread. I don't know if they are but if not, please be so kind and post them there. Then this thread can serve to users.

And maybe I should have expanded on what I said earlier. geckon here is on the mark. Nothing wrong with a thread like this, BUT it's not helpful unless also posted in the bugs thread.
