These are all from latest OOTP 14 AI issues... http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...eeds-work.html Run-Time error http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ime-error.html talking of refunds because of bugs not fixed http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...thread-47.html Bug in OOTP 14 but same bug in OOTP 13 not fixed still http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...thread-46.html Windows 8 issues (nothing new :P) the most recent patch crashes non-stop on my PC (Windows 8) It will crash at random times when you click on something (lineups, boxes on a players profile, etc.) It will also crash probably 75% of the time when saving; though that crash will occur when it is at 89%, and nothing winds up being lost; but it is still very annoying. It is becoming more and more frequent to the point where I have to go back to a previous version, or shelf the game for now. some regrets Nope, didn't work. Still choppy. I shouldn't have bought 14. Too many issues and it runs so slowly. Going back to 13. http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ow-my-mac.html http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ch-coming.html I'm having nothing but problems with the game crashing. I've done full deletes of the game and files and have started new leagues with each version patch release and always end up with constant crashes. I've updated my computer and am running Windows 7, is there another patch in the works? Doesn't look like it for Marcus did mention they be concentrating on new OOTP15 now It seems to me that if the patch is causing enough problems that are being reported that the team would put something out there in the near future to fix it. I am sure if the patch is that faulty they wouldn't leave the game that way for an entire year. Actually, now you guys have ME wondering. I have been skipping that patch due to some reported problems, and those links I provided indicated to me that MH had agreed to patch the patch. Yet, could it be that they quietly substituted the patched patch and slightly changed the version number? I lost track of what I was looking at in terms of version number - can anyone else confirm what I think is the situation . . . Is another patch coming or is the one in the sticky at the top of this board it for 14? I hope so with the latest patch top notch players are remaining on the free agent list all season long. This is I think an old problem that has come back. "and so on, there is looot of bugs if you go read those forums and game breaking ones also some of them" Quite interesting to see they so fast jump to the OOTP 15 even 14 just came out, not that long ago. Hope they dont leave FHM hanging on while they start to develop FHM 2...makes it truly not worth the purchase if like that, hope not. Another interesting comment, why people are so hostile in here? in OOTP thread http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...revisited.html Originally Posted by The Wolf View Post I make it a tie.

Now I think everyone who has read this thread got the point of the complaints, however where's the CONSTRUCTIVE part of the criticism??? I read here and there is little else but bashing and a little peacemaking. If they want to be taken seriously, and not a snotnose whiner try these simple steps... 1) Include your information with the bug - Believe it or not there are several different OS running around out there and almost nobody includes even if they are running a mac or PC. THERE is a ton of coding differences in OS as well as with video cards/makers. I grant you there are several obvious corrections to be made, but as someone who was there from the beginning of EHM (I did buy both versions and played the free one - EHM07 is still on my computer today) bad memories fade over time - trust me there were major glitches even in the EHM patches (they unintentionally wrecked "C" while fixing "A" not aware of "B" coding affecting the outcome...) 2) Where there is an obvious bug, correctly explain WHAT game you were playing (New,Historical,Fantasy etc.) and what did it do when it happened? Crash-To-Desktop? Ctrl-Alt-Delete? Its about 50% of the posts just crying "THIS GAME SUCKS!!!" without any info that makes me crazy... "Have a problem? you better have a solution to it" was what I grew up learning... obviously it stuck with me and wasn't covered in schools after I left... 3) Your pointing fingers at OOTP having bugs? it ALWAYS had bugs and both Markus and Andreas work incessantly on them. They have a good relationship with around 85% of the posters on the forum. It's the over a decade plus of us who supported those efforts and bought every version that has OOTP being recognized as one of the premier sims of any type. That didn't happen overnight and you can look at my avatar and see I've been around here a while - and while don't post at every comment I see that aggravates me, this is ridiculousness - they didn't "acknowledge my complaint" Maybe because its on 35 other threads??? Are these people that narcisstic??? 4) It hasn't been a month and you already have a major patch and an acknowledgement that they recognize the problems. You want to wait and let them get to it? The frickin hockey season hasn't even started yet! To all of you complaining - "Patience Grasshopper" it will come to you. |

The UI is similar. But let's see just HOW similar... ![]() ![]() Wow. Look at that. Same font and everything. ![]() You don't like the product. We get it. Go ahead and waste your time trying to convince folks that they just took the OOTP coding and slapped some hockey pucks at it. ![]() ![]() |

#1 and #2 are valid points both. #3 is only to show that same code was used (shared) why its talks wandered into OOTP side #4 Releasing a unplayable Beta version...yeah i'm sure we all recognize the problem right there, Hockey season will start without us being able to play this correctly is so bugged right now that it wont be enough time to fix it...in NHL start and European hockey has started already... |

OK if your a veteran of hard coding moves from the 80's - then how on god's green earth can you complain about this??? These guys acknowledged mistakes, we both know coding consists today of Hundreds of Thousands lines of coding to a game. Way more than we ever did back then...never mind the computer languages! Essentially they have said FHM is a three man shop with occasional borrowing of people (or GUI) from OOTP, I'm ok with that. Your comments about screens (#3) This doesn't make sense because your still referring to GUI, not coding! The GUI doesnt reflect mistakes other than what is input data (names, dates, etc.) GUI is colors, sizes of boxes, and fonts for example. and data entry is not coding, but still has to be done. The coding tells the processor what to do with it. A simplistic example is today's Microsoft Excel - program A-1 through A-12 to sum and whatever you fill in those boxes with will be the sum total in box A-13. Ergo you just programmed! Now forget to assign the fill box and A-13 looks like random numbers and symbols because the logical computer cant reason - it just does exactly what its told. Why is that so hard to apply here for these guys? Do a couple thousand lines of coding and marking each one down so you can track what's done... Then wait three weeks and find there was a problem and one of the three guys has to wade back through all that code to find the problem. Even using a data compiler that job still sucks! Anyway you are entitled to your opinion, I just find it shocking in this day and age, someone from my generation has so little patience with a game. I still say look at it as an investment, IRL you dont collect money the second you invest it, You give it time and let it grow. As was pointed out, people are still playing EHM07 six years later and what a return on investment it's been for me! 72 months for $24.99 It will be the same for FHM if its given a chance... See - there is no bashing on either side necessary... I'm sure the developers want to have this game working correctly as much as you want to play it. For the record what part of FHM cant you play? I am on my third season of NHL (New game, NOT historical) since the update and have had nothing go wrong, some of the data needs addressing and how the $$$ FA works but its not game stopping IMHO. |

traveler99,
Ok your assertion is this is a Beta version, did you D/L the Beta and play that? I did not, but followed the posts of those who did. There were near weekly updates during the Beta time and some marked improvements (and a glitch of a version). But really, are you stating there wasn't anything looming with the release that there were NOT known problems? I can't agree with that statement if you are alleging that. I followed the forums pretty closely myself, and there was plenty of warning IMHO... Again the reasons I bought this game is about the future it holds and if spending $40 (or $30 if you bought it during Beta) annoys you, can I remind you of EA Sports NFL2004 where a swing pass to the RB resulted in a certain touchdown because of a coding glitch... talk about unplayable once that tidbit got out. EA never fixed the problem and denied it even existed even when confronted with video evidence by PC Gamer mag... Have you seen any denials here? EA is a ginormous corporate entity with hundreds of coders & data processors and all the magic that millions can buy, Yet thier foray into sports management was an epic failure because they don't get the difference between twitchy fingers and "what if" minds. FHM & OOTP do "get it" and if a shortcoming is going to happen let it be something that can be fixed, I plan to spend my long hard cold winter inside playing FHM and loving every minute of it. Thats future planning my friend! |

Also, I recall a post from one of the coders for FHM who said that, while the GUI was intentionally designed to look like OOTP's, it was in fact coded from the ground up and used little, if any, of OOTP's interface code. ETA: Really, any savvy PC game buyer should not you do not buy a game immediately on release. There's guaranteed to be some amount of bugs in the product, the degree of which may range from mild but irritating to frequent and game-stopping. The savvy and cost-conscious PC game buyer knows to wait several months at least, for the game to be patched and for a sale to come along. About the only games you can buy on release are those for the game consoles, since those have standard hardware for which the games are developed (but even that doesn't stop bugs from being in the release).

This proves absolutely nothing. I can go to any software company's forum, find some bugs, make a list of them and claim they copied another piece of software and that's why they have similar bugs. When you find the perfect piece of software, please let us all know. |

The bugs you linked to in OOTP are all small, and have mostly been fixed. They're the sort of bugs that are in any game, none are even close to the "game breaking", or "overflowing" bugs you claimed. Even more interesting is how when you couldn't find what you thought were enough bugs for OOTP, you quoted and commented on some silly forum squabbling and comparisons of OOTP to FM, that concluded FM was the better game. Well, no kidding. FM is considered by many to be the best game in the world. What's was any of that supposed to prove? You clearly have an agenda and are determined not to let little things like truth or accuracy stand in your way ![]() Last edited by Lukas Berger; 09-15-2013 at 09:09 AM. |
