All the minor league teams in the league show the same salary for almost every player in the league. This is next to useless as all these players have various contracts.

Also, all the GR totals for the farm team are 0. At least you should know this rating for teams in your system.

I played without comm mode. My guess is its the action expanded mode, thats what we both used. Full game mode seems to be fine. Have you found any other solution so far? Action expanded is my favorite mode to watch the games. Its no big to deal to reload the game once it froze like this, but its annoying.

My farm team is not dressing 2 goalies even though there are 2 that can play. If i switch to manual control of the minor league roster lineup i can fix it and it stays but the assistant cant manage it properly.

That's a strange one. Is there anything odd in Demko's history, like a recent major injury or a lot of recalls/demotions from the ECHL? Regardless, the AI shouldn't be able to put the same guy in both goaltending spots in the lineup, so we'll have a look.

Game date Jul 7, 2017
I proposed a trade of J. Huberdeau to the Bruins for 2nd round picks in 2018 & 2019.
They accepted the trade a few days later, but there is no option to "complete trade", like would happen usually in such a case. The only options in my action menu for this message are, read all..., delete all..., delete message or discuss trade again. Upon reentering the trade screen, to only action option is offer trade. finalize trade and force trade are greyed out.

I need the pms to find the problem. Please upload the save again and include the messages folder.

That's the only mode I have found that is too my liking. It's no big deal that I can't watch one game to the finish unless it's an increasing problem.


When the latest patch came out,I noticed that it has become less of a problem but it's still there.

And that goalie seems angry at doing double duty...

There were earlier reports about incomplete displays of the sequence of shots in shootouts. I've found a possibly helpful clue. The list of shot attempts that gets displayed can be different between the in-game boxscore and the boxscore that is viewed retroactively (after the particular game has been exited). The first two screen shots below show an example of what I mean. In the first, the in-game boxscore is shown and the last shot taken in the shootout is not displayed. But in the second screen shot, we see the boxscore when accessed after leaving the game. Now all shot attempts are displayed.

The second observation I want to offer is that the shots on goal displayed on the scoreboard during the game seems to count the shots taken during the shootout, although those shots are not included in the boxscore shots on goal total. The third screen shot below shows the game scoreboard at the end of the shootout. This screen shot is from the same game as the other two screen shots. The shots on goal through overtime (37-18) are fewer than what is shown on the scoreboard.

tarashnat,

I think that is what should happen. Once a game is complete, the team records on the boxscore should reflect the new team records, just as the numbers of goals and assists for each player in the boxscore show the updated season totals. Mind you, the current updating of the player information is not working as it should (final total as of end of game is shown for each scoring play a player is involved in, instead of showing only the total up to that particular scoring play).

When player is injured (red cross) you musta scratch player from lineups if you press "Finish today" button as it should be. You can´t continue before you have scratched that player. But if you go via "Play" --> "next game" button, you don´t have to scratch player and he can play games as usual. So yes, via that there will be also the "Attention"-box that player is injured but after that you can just push play next game and the player is the lineups as usual.

24 pages of bug reading not done... apologies if this has been mentioned.

in a gm-only online league. scouting i assume is a gm controllable feature.
yet after every sim day, scouting defaults to what ever the AI wants the scouts to be assigned for. thanks

*edit*
also will mention that i have a league of my one that I play set up as gm only without the online aspect
and this does not happen during that league

All old box scores show the current team records, not the result at the time of the game. Go to a team's schedule and check the old games.

It is ok if the box score has either the record before or after the game in question. It shows the current record.

Thought I saw a reference to this before, but a forum search didn't turn it up, so...

Am unable to complete trades. I initiate, CPU accepts and sends me a message telling me to complete trade using the Action tab. The only trade-related option that exists there is Discuss Trade Again. Forwarded ahead a day, still no option to accept trade. Tried sending players to reserve to make room on active roster in case traded players were going there, nothing. And yes, manager, not assistant is in charge of making trades in manager options. Any help on this one? Thanks

NOTE: Just moments after posting this, the CPU initiated a trade offer I liked, and I was able to complete the trade with no problem, the option appearing in the dropdown to the Action tab. Must only be for trades I initiate that get accepted?

So, this thread is too long to read through....sorry if this has been posted already:

Playing as GM in WHL...the first season (2015/16) never ended. I did not realize it at the time, but when the 2016/17 season started all of the stats and numbers just rolled in with 2015. The 2016 season ended, and the playoffs never kicked off (I simmed to June 15 to check)...the league screens continue to show the 2015 results as the current playoffs.

One note--the normal inter-season events DID take place (drafts, free agency, etc...).

Also...not a part of the above bug, but worth mentioning: the coach/GM firings are insane. Calgary Hitmen were in 1st place in the WHL with one hell of a record (37-7 at the time). They lost a game to the 2nd place team (me) and the coach was fired for poor performance!

Okay, so that could have been a one-time goof, I though to myself. Nope, not even close. The 3rd place (Victoria) was all of 6 points behind me and playing well. They lost a close to me, but were still miles ahead of the rest of league. Then, you guessed it, they fired their coach as well!

That is just insane. I am noting those two examples because they are ludicrous, but my inbox is filled with firings on a daily basis. Very difficult to take the game seriously as a "management sim" at this point.

Could it be an issue with the WHL data/setup???

Haven't seen that happen with the stats not getting reset before. Could you upload the save for us to have a look at? Instructions here, or just put it on a filesharing site like filerdropper.com or dropbox and PM me the link.

The coach-firing bug appears to be happening in a number of different non-NHL leagues; it's definitely not designed to work like that. We're trying to figure out the cause.

Yeah, we do have an active bug report on this problem, but nothing resolved yet; I'm not sure if Malte has been able to replicate it. Knowing it's not happening on CPU-initiated trades may be helpful, though, thanks.

I see what you mean and I agree that it should not work that way. Boxscores should reflect the state of affairs as they are just after the game ends.
