Version 0.9.69 Game Update Now Available (PC and Mac) - Page 2

asilvermtzion · 08-28-2013, 08:11 PM

a heads up for the mac people, the new version is called "Franchise Hockey Manager 2014" while the old was just called fhm, so you'll have to delete the old application manually.

Problems I see if add Players to Blackhawks that were part of 2010 and 2013 team they will release like Neimi and so on or Trade like Towes or Kane or so on for a Draft Pick thats fine but more should come back and also keep signing Free-Agents and come Opening Day says over Salary Cap.
Also if I put the Players who have a Website on the Blues and even with Salary Cap at the highest it can be on September 2 the Game Exits even if I put the Players on the Market with 7.0 or higher on that date it exits to.

I was hopping Expansion Draft and League Structure/E. was turned so we can check to if their are problems before 9-3.

yes, I figured that the protection lists are full. They need to be expanded to correct this...

ESC no longer works to stop simulating

Yes but it just goes back to 50 if you change it and save it and in 2004 I think I could change it from 50 to 999 but a year later it goes back to 50.

Also when you load a Histotical League theirs no Unsigned Prospects and Teams had some and about Minor League Teams they are need so we can have Minor League affliate changes happen as they did in real life. If it had Unretirements or
Historical Transactions and Lineups then the Mario thing could be solved.

I don't see release all Players to Free Agent yet or even Name Affliacation to.

Habsfan18 · 08-28-2013, 10:04 PM

It appears teams are losing players they just drafted because they have too many players on the protected list. These players are becoming UFA's at 18.

ThePerfectDecoy · 08-29-2013, 01:50 AM

well thats no good.
playing the mac version I can't get past Feb.1.2013 which is not an improvement over not being able to get past June.30.2013 in the last build

I've found that when creating a custom league after specifying that regular season period length is 20 min. overtime is 5 min. with 4 skaters and that playoff period length is 20 min. overtime is 20 min. with 5 skaters that it changes after starting the league.

Going into edit league after initial creation I have to make regulation overtime skaters 4 (after it somehow changed to 3) and overtime period length 5min. unfortunately after hitting the save button regulation overtime changes to 20 min. and it will not stay or save to 5 min.

Why?

mgom27 · 08-29-2013, 09:28 AM

On Free Agent Page it would be nice to know if Player is Core,Key,Top Prospect and so on?
Also at Draft would be nice to have some Trades happening and Site be different every year?
Preseason Games in Cities where no NHL Team is at the moment in your League?
On Contract Page show who Drafted them if they were Draft?
No loophole in Trades just make it a 3 Team deal like let's say Josh Harding to the Red Wings for Todd B.2014 2nd and 4th round Draft Picks and Versteeg/Brian Campbell to Red Wings for Harding but in the Trade Transaction it would show Harding first going to Red Wings in Trade then to Panthers in same deal.

Not sure if this is a bug or if it's just because the salary cap is funky but I am trying to advance to the start of the regular season as the Rangers. Apparently I am $5million over the cap even though I had shed some contracts.

So I go into the team finances page and see that I have $7million + in cap hit penalties???

No idea where this is coming from but it won't let me advance my game unless I shed half my team or some key players.

Strange, it looks like some teams had their cap penalties from last year cleared properly when we switched to 2013-14, but others didn't. I'll have to check through them all and fix the old ones - that penalty is last season's, mostly the Redden buyout. That explains why the Rangers are so aggressive about cutting salary in the game, thanks for letting us know.

BabyLemonade · 08-29-2013, 10:44 AM

A different crash.. Runtime Error Program C:/Programfiles/Out... etc..First time seeing that. But having crashes on any kind of league i try to play..Any ideas?

Orioles1966 · 08-29-2013, 10:53 AM

When will the manual be available?

How will modern day custom expansion work with the NHL? What will be the limit on expansion per season?

Will we be able too move teams from league to league in version #1?

Will custom leagues be in the same universe as real leagues?

What's the final standings tie-breakers? Most wins or most regulation wins?

yzerwing · 08-29-2013, 12:06 PM

Just wondering why the St. Louis Blues have players names that are grey instead of the bold black of everyone else? Does it stand for something?

Wait, why is Mario Lemieux playing in the NHL during the 1999-2000 season and why did Pittsburgh just deal him to Ottawa for Martin Havlat?

Looking at the ratings, I had Mario underrated and Havlat's pre-prime stage starting a year earlier than it should, and Mario was missing a setting that makes it less likely the Penguins will move him. But in terms of numerical value, putting aside the names of the players involved, it makes some sense - Havlat had a lot more NHL hockey left in him in 1999 than Mario did.

Mario is on the Penguins in 1999 because there's no "temporarily retired" setting, so I either have to put him there or make him a free agent. But it's not really a great way of handling the situation (or other temporary absences like Lafleur, Howe, and Dryden), so I'll try to think of another way. Come to think of it, that might give me a better way to block the pre-Gorbachev Soviets from the NHL, too.

I explained players getting traded multiple times in the earlier thread, we're going to put in more safeguards to prevent that. I'm not sure what's happening with the empty offers, we'll have a look at that. Did you have O'Neill on the trading block?

Could you not put him on long term injury?

Orioles1966 · 08-29-2013, 04:25 PM

In the standings-I have an 8th place team that has 69 points and the 7th place team has 63 points. Is that possible?

Do I need to "un-license" first when I delete FHM? I had tried to download and install the update version today (Aug 29/13) but it still loads as
Version 0.9 BETA Build 57 not Build 69.

i didnt have to just download, install, and delete the old. make sure to replace your shortcut too.

Stevo · 08-29-2013, 05:28 PM

Got to the end of the third season and then had a new crash bug, which means the end of my game.

No new young 14-17 year old players are showing up as free agents at the start of the new season.

There's a new problem, whenever you click to look at player info or go to set lines, you have to wait 10-15 seconds.

Lowering import numbers in the EIHA setting does nothing.

Will any of the inactive (but shown) features in the game going to be turned on when the game is released?

yzerwing · 08-29-2013, 06:16 PM

Funny Trade:

To Washington

rights to Max Gortz

To Nashville

Michal Neuvirth

Then the next day:

To Washington

Michal Neuvirth

To Nashville

Joel Ward

Trade made me lols!

Add 3 days and then Neuvirth ends up in Carolina!

Habsfan18 · 08-29-2013, 06:35 PM

I don't think players should be untouchable, but I think we should make it so certain players have a very low chance of being traded at certain points in their career, unless it's for an outstanding package.

In 1999-2000, a 24 year old Saku Koivu should not be getting traded to the Colorado Avalanche for Ville Nieminen and Chris Dingman.

And yes, I'm aware the AI trading system is being worked on. Just saying..
