A few pointed Issues with Historical Mode

berthelj · 06-08-2024, 01:48 PM

So I started a new historical season, 2011-2012. Here are a few things i've noticed in my first season through the game so far. (Note: July 1st start date)

1. Game starts with 2011 draft picks in their pool, even though the draft has passed in the game. I keep getting trade offers for that draft class and it messes with the ability to acquire an existing draft pick.

2. Next seasons draft initial rankings/mid term does not show up. Must manually scout every underaged kid in junior/college/europe.

3. Junior and college leagues dont have their corresponding teams within and instead are subdivided by leagues (OHL, WHL, QMJHL) as teams. So you have teams with 100 players per team and only 20 are playing.

4. After adjusting contracts manually for every player on every team to represent their actual contract for that year (thanks sportrac & capfriendly), i've noticed even though goalies are signed long term, they resign a new contract through the 1st season. which should not be possible.

Hopefully these issues get fixed by 11!

yeah, all valid points, the most annoying for me though is players mental and physical attributes always being 200 pts lower when they generate. Obivously the offense and defence stats should be lower but certain physical and mental stats should be higher.

Also players with 20+ ratings(such as mcdavid/gretzky) its very hard for them to reach those numbers if you start a historical before they are around.

These aren't teams, but are generic leagues. So if there's 100 players
listed they will all generate simulated stats for that league as the season progresses.
