Yeah, sorry! Date is september 13 2014. I´m playing SML, but I also have NHL, AHL, KHL, KHL and few other leagues running/chosen (hope you understand what i mean ) And i haven´t edited anything, just bought the game, played one season and then it crashed. And i´m playing on macbook air if it has any help.

Any help would be great!

If only one team has an incomplete roster the game will crash. Make sure all the rosters are full.

I requested a tab(the same as the OOTP game) that would automatically fill all rosters but so far it hasn't happened.

Every team has a page and each team's roster can be seen. At the bottom it gives you an option to fill the roster.

If you're still having problems, please post in the bug report thread and follow the instructions to upload your saved game file so the developers can look at it.

Well thank you, Mister President! It worked!

To be honest, that could be the dummest thing i have seen in a game for a while. Game should take care of that, not the player.

This is a very good feature, not dumb at all.

And no, the game should not be automatically filling your roster with players.

I would hate to have to fill each and every roster of my OOTP over 200 plus team Fictional Leagues.

Well, at least the game should advice you to fill your roster instead of crashing.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but if I purchase the game on Steam, will I be able to use the standalone version of the game (i.e. will purchasing it on Steam get me a license key to use on the non-Steam version)?

No, the Steam version can only be used with Steam, the "standalone" version without Steam. Both versions are the same, updates will always be released on the same day and the price is the same as well so you can go with the version that works best for you.

I purchased FHM via Steam last night and now it seems I can't download or use any of the mods, player pics, etc. In fact, I can't play the game at all except through Steam.


I'm obviously unschooled in Steam. Why is this such a good thing? <buyer's remorse setting in...>

[Sebastian Palkowski]

If you bought the game through Steam then you can only play it through Steam. But it should be no problem at all, it is still the same game. All mods will work the same, only the path might be different. I'm away from my Computer so maybe someone else can work you through?

Man - big mistake on my part. I wish there was a way to get a refund.

Lesson learned...

Given that you're unschooled in the ways of Steam, I will teach you, young grasshopper.

1) There should be no reason that you can't use mods, player pics, etc. just because you have the Steam version.

2) Steam hides a lot of the "back end" stuff that you have to do with normal program installations, like choosing a directory to install to, etc. Despite being hidden, everything is installed the same way-- you just have to know where to find it.

There are two ways to find it. Once you've got the location, you should be able to install any mods/facepacks according to the instructions provided with the mod/facepack in question:

A) Open up Steam (the main Steam program-- don't open the game). Click "Library" at the top. Right-click on FHM 2014 in the list. Click "Properties". A smaller window will pop up. Click on the "Local Files" tab and then click "Browse Local Files". This will take you to the directory where everything is stored.

B) The default directory where Steam stores all of your games is (I believe this may vary, depending on whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows): C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common


EDIT: I've been reading the instructions for some of the facepacks, and it seems you simply need to add them to the specific location in the Documents folder, which seems to be: Documents > Out of the Park Developments > Franchise Hockey Manager 2014 > data > quickstart_games > Majors.quick > graphics > player_pics. Presumably, this is created by both the Steam version and the standalone version.

It's so difficult to understand that both games below are made by the same people or company. It's kinda scary

Did you really think before posting this?
