Issues with Beta

jcrogie · 10-19-2016, 06:55 PM

First off, I'd like to say the new tactics system and roles is absolutely great. The in game play needs some work but is definitely neat. Now, on to the bad news:

All of the below errors are in sandbox mode starting in 1931

#1. "Not enough players to create proper lineup. Please review your lineup" when all lineup slots are filled on my team. Stops me from fast simming, and also causes a real headache when coupled with the errors below

#2. Playoff games cannot be simmed regularly or the game will crash, can only be simmed by using the "auto-play until" function (which coincidentally does not work if error #1 is present)

#3. Severe injuries are absolutely absurd. I've 8 guys out of my initial 17 man roster on the injured list by game 1 of the playoffs...most with 40+ day injuries

#4. The playoff games I was able to sim by using auto play did not track any stats.

The 4 above errors are gamebreaking, and I must say, even in a public beta are pretty disappointing.

Any chance you can upload a save?

Looks like we found 2 and 4. 3 is already in work to be tweaked. Still looking into 1.

I encountered issue #1 when trying to play a game in sandbox earlier today. the only way I could get the game to proceed, was to use the option for AI lines, then I didn't like the lines set (nor the player type chosen for each line) so I then cleared the lines and redid each one myself.

at THAT point I was able to play the game.

Obviously it's a bug, but hopefully the issue isn't encountered for every game you play with your team

I'm stuck on another bug, so I haven't made it to my 2nd game as the Devils

Sorry for the delay and thanks for the prompt response.

Keep up the good work guys, I've bought all three iterations of FHM and don't plan on stopping. Hopefully you're able to fix easily so I can get back to milking FHM for endless hours of enjoyment.

Found the root cause of error #1, it's directly tied to the roster limits. In 1931, only 17 players were needed.

In 2016, 20 players are needed

It seems the game is applying the 20 player 2016 limit to 1931.
