Hello,

I just purchased this fantastic game a few days ago and I am headlong into the 1962-63 historical season. I am coaching the Detroit Red Wings. I am in preseason at the moment and we are currently 2 wins and 3 losses and I am experimenting with tactics and trying to stay with the tactics that would have been used in 1962. But have had mixed results. I must say that Gordie Howe is amazing!! I always knew he could score but I am impressed with his assists and how he guides that team, much like a great point guard in basketball. I love the historic play for that very reason, to learn about players of the past as much as anything. What a deal, we get all past seasons to 1931 to the present for $20?? I could not get my wallet out fast enough! I am having a blast! I am still unsure of myself as to trades and roster management but have already had to deal with an injury and bring up another player on reserve list. I went to the depth chart and did that transaction. Was good practice for me. I am looking forward to season starting as we have 2 more preseason games left. I don't have the team firing on all cylinders yet, and as tight as the race was in 1962, every win or tie is important, so yes, I feel the pressure, but in a good way. I do have a question if anyone can help. I noticed the jersey of each team has the team logo with the exception of Chicago and it has the NHL logo instead. The team logo appears on their screen but I cannot get it to appear on their team jersey? Anyone have a solution? Anyway, thanks to the developers for someone fairly new to hockey to be able to immerse myself into the game and learn.
