The f*****g filter has to be fixed!

[Tompa8989]

Come on...The game is totally broken with this worthless search filter.

Can barely manage 2 minutes with this sh***y filter system.

GOD its AWFUL!

One thing wrong doesn't make the game totally broken. Also, threads like this are useless and annoying.

Maybe try speaking nicely and not blowing things out of proportion would be nice.

Instead of acknowledge the problem with the game you are nitpicking on curses. That's great, just great.

Edit: I supported this from day one, bought the beta the first day it was out. I am expecting results. And the search filter is one major problem that makes the game unplayable.

He's a forum moderator, not a game developer.

And while I agree it's a problem, it doesn't make the game unplayable, but rather makes it more tedious.

Yeah but a hundred things wrong certainly does. How about you stop shilling, that would be very constructive toward lowering the annoyance factor here.

Imo it's unplayable. It is completely impossible to search any player with this search filter. I guess i have to wait another couple of months to get it fixed. As the option to hire head coaches which we asked for almost 6 months ago. It feels like we are getting ignored in our gameplay wishes.

I am not one of those who will ask for a refund but im getting tired of the ignoring of better gameplay features that this community has come up with.

How about listen to the community and all the really great ideas there is?

Well...I will probably not touch this game again until christmas.

How about when they fix stuff you give a little credit and stop whining constantly. There is stuff wrong and yes it is annoying, but whining constantly is way more annoying then someone defending the game. Quite frankly the game is lot better then given credit for, and is massively far from unplayable. If it crashed every 4 seconds or every click or something, that would constitute a broken game, not a filter issue.

I will not giving them credit for fixing things that should've been included when they released the ''full game'' (even though there is no expansion what so ever, and the same things are greyed out since the first beta release). At this stage they should making ajor changes not how many penalties there is.

Just my opinion.

The only thing i am asking for is some transparency when it comes to the features. Will there even be an option to hire head coaches? Will we have the option to expand? Will there be these small fixes every month until they scrap this and begin on the next version?

A little transparency would be nice. Then they would probably never get any refund threads anymore.

It's been stated several times that this will be the case

Trust me that the developers are listening to community. It's just that they get tons of ideas and have to pick the most wanted, most important and complying with their idea of the game. Not an easy task if you ask me.

And they are working hard to make the game as good as possible. I'm afraid that comments like the one you just sent is not gonna help them in motivation. Try and be constructive when criticizing. Thank you.

Although i recon the way the original poster stated his griefs is a bit extreme (to say the least) i couldn't agree more with him about the point he is making !
First you build the game around the basics and then you add extra fun stuff ... it seems obvious to me
I don't understand how this not could be a priority ... really

And also i'm fed up with the constant "stop whining" answers people get when they post about game basics not being fixed ... If you want the "Global moderator" job apply for it !!!

Yeah, well alright but i believe that we as a community have been very constructive already. And you have to agree that without a working search filter it is impossible to play in any of the european leagues if you don't want to search for players 4/5 of the time you are playing and handicap your scroll-finger and that immidiatly drags the whole gaming experience down in my opinion.

One thing to add is a sticky thread that updates maybe twice a week with certain things the developers work on. That way we all can see what to expect. It would be a lot better than nothing for a month than al the suddenly there's a new patch.

The game has already been officially released but is still missing a lot of customizing options. I would say most of the customizing options are not available yet and it almost feels like we have bought an beta version for FHM14...

Im just disappointed with the lack of updates and features that i looked forward too when i bought the game at beta release.

for example, both i and another user wrote that one of the things there has to be is the hiring of headcoaches. As i remember we had good response but i have heard absolutly nothing about the possibility of that.

I have hoped since day one that this game could be a really really great hockey sim, and i still hope. But honestly, that hope is soon gone.

You are the Head Coach / GM of your team and you can hire Assistant Managers. I feel you want something different so please tell me a bit more.

I'm not the op but a lot of us would really, really like the ability to only be the GM and to actually hire and fire head coaches. You can see some discussion of this in some of the following threads:

here, here, and here

Thanks, I will take a look. Is this feature in any of the text-sim games (OOTP, FN, EHM) because I can't remember it (but most likely I just never used it)?

It is in OOTP and EHM. It's the default mode in OOTP. EHM too I think. How it works in those games is that though you're the GM and can hire managers (head coaches), you can still manage in game yourself if you want, or you can just watch the game and let your head coach make the head coaching decisions.

It's not in FM as there you're actually the HC yourself, not the Director of Football or whatever the position that would be equivalent to GM would be called.

But it seems to me to belong in FHM since in hockey, as in baseball, the positions of General Manager and Head Coach are always separate.

Yeah it is in EHM. You can search for head coaches based on what kind of hockey you want to play (not sure it it matters much though) For example Claude Julien is a defense minded coach with high stats on defense coaching and so forth.

It's just that it's not very usual that the GM and the head coach are the same people. The head coach do things like lines, tactics, training and such while the GM handles the roster, signings, drafting and such.

In my opition, head coaches, a search filter that can filter players based on country, contract, age, left or right handed and so on, and the option to fully customise the leagues especially NHL is the only major things that are missing in this version.

After that i would be happy for every little fix we get even if there is just a patch to get number of penalties 0.001 higher or anything lite that.

But thank you for dropping in and be in touch with the community. That is exactly what i mean by transparency.

Cheers!

This is quite a statement. Especially if we talk about European leagues.

Should've said "usually" separate. It's likely different in many European leagues. I'm not as familiar with European hockey's management structures. If they're like those in football/soccer than no doubt the positions are sometimes merged. I wasn't meaning to be quite so dogmatic or inaccurate, apologies if I was

Either way the point is that many of us would like to have the ability to be only the GM and hire HC's in game.
