I think so; we know what the problem is (the draft rules data for background leagues not getting copied properly during custom setup); it's among the fixes we're testing today.

Edit: just finished checking, my test season went into July with no problems, and continued fine after that. Need to check how it works with draft and/or playoffs enabled, but so far, so good.

Sebastian's cancelled the trip to Berlin he'd had planned for the weekend, and I'm going to skip driving down to Penticton to see the Canucks-Flames rookie game tonight.

We're trying to get rid of all the game-killers (crashes and things that make it impossible to progress) with this patch, as well as some issues that don't require a lot of testing to confirm if they're fixed. Significant alterations to systems like free agency will require a longer testing run - I've got the changes drawn up to keep North American players from signing in Europe so cheaply, for example, but it'd be a bad idea to drop them in now in the midst of the other changes, with a day or less of testing to observe the AI behaviour and the complicating factor of other changes that may alter it. We've learned our lesson from release about trying to cram complex changes like that in at the last minute.

Mac display issues will probably be a second-patch item as well - there are a few of them, they're varied, and in some cases difficult to get to occur on command, so it'll make more sense to tackle those as a group and make sure it's all working properly together, rather than fixing one thing and breaking another, or making a different existing problem worse.

Ok. Looks like next patch I'll give the game another shot. Thanks.

You might have these covered.
1) Editing a coach, it says 0-9 are the rating, but other coaches can go to 20 I believe. Not sure if that's a bug or not, but that should be changed.

2) Custom league, I clicked CPU Finish Draft and it freezes up. I think that's covered, but I wanted to put this out there again.

Thank you.

This actually works now. It just takes awhile and appears to freeze up. Try it again and let it run for a couple of minutes and you will see............................................... ....Z

I was wondering if there was a patch for the MAC side of FHM for all of the crashes? I can't even get through the first game of the season without my game crashing. I can't trade and I can't even view Colorado's team without my game crashing. This has been frustrating since I have your baseball game and it runs without a hitch and hockey is my favorite sport, yet I can't even play the game without it just crashing and asking me to reopen the game. If there is a patch i can download can you direct me to it or if there is something else wrong i would be much oblige to the help. Thank you and have a nice day.

Sincerely,

Anthony Pasquarella

NHL 14 only gets me frustrated. They've stopped trying in dynasty and be a pro mode or now the "all new" [god, i'm sick of hearing that] Live the Life Mode. EA makes me sick. The actual gameplay is fun, but all the other offline modes are weak.

I don't even play it anymore. Stick to hockey sims on the computer now!

Haha yeah i will. When FHM gets more "stronger". It crashes a lot and there are some bugs that makes the game unplayable. But hopefully the patch will fix many of those things. =)

They have fixed a lot for those modes, but it cant be compared to other hockey sims like EHM and FHM.

When will the patch be released? Hopefully soon.
