I'm sure they will, but right now I'm sure the main focus is putting the finishing touches on the game before release.

How about an option to stay on the page I'm on when I click the Continue button instead of being taken back to my home page every single time, only to have to navigate back to where I was?

They did say the playoff schedules are now broken up more.

Love that I can make a custom league made up of imported historical teams ala OOTP. But, can the players be dumped into a fantasy draft?

I don't believe they can. I'd go watch the stream on Twitch and or tune in next week when Jeff actually dives into the game.

Right my scenario. inconsistent draft classes really frustrates and make draft picks worthless on season 5 and go on. Hope they addressed this huge issue in FHM 10...

I've started working on a project to improve the play-by-play in 2D, but it wound up being too much to get done in time for release. I'm going to continue on it, but no timeframe for its appearance yet.

Staggered playoff schedules have been added, i.e. if you've got 8 series at the start of a round, 4 will play games on one night, then the other 4 on the next.

Yeah, I'm trying to find some time to put it together, it'll be up before release.

Yes.

Hi Jeff! I posted this in another thread but I would like to know if you added the game misconduct after a fight for the QMJHL?

Really encouraged by the media aspect and how it's fine tuned to various markets.

Setting team needs looks good too although unless I'm wrong, it appears to a player search function as opposed to indicating to AI teams what you are looking for.

Has anything been done to improve the layout out of the sim game result screen? The information is presented really poorly and there's too much scrolling required.

Can you filter by position when editing lines? Either via the edit lines screen or pregame lines screen? You can see the two screens I'm referencing here: https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...341962&page=12

Jeff, something really low on the totem pole of priorities but always prevents me from diving into a new game... are NHL retired numbers up to date and rivalries accurate? There were a few retired numbers missing last year that I had to continually add, for the immersion factor.

Would be happy to help make sure they’re up to date, anyway that I can, before release day.

I’d assume it’s the normal $39.99.
