This was the 1967 expansion? I just tried it and it seemed to work OK, but it looks like your names table somehow got knocked one or two steps out of place. Was it a game you had started with this patch, or resumed from an earlier save?

Is this just a text error? Or did I somehow get tipped off what the final score wold be

I returned to the game and sure enough, no more goals the score then and the final were the same 2-2

Most likely it's the clock not having updated at 20:00 at the moment you paused, despite the game already being over, since there were not shots in the last 8 seconds to force an update (because the "all shots" setting was on.)

Ah, looks like the 73 draft needed a setting changed to leave some players available for the 74 draft, since it was basically making all the players ineligible. Fixed now.

Historical league rules are set to uneditable; they're handled a little differently in the database so any edits would keep getting reset every season if they were enabled.

This means it'll be fixed for next update? (The draft thing).

Three games into the 2015-16 NHL season, I checked player stats using two methods: clicking the Leaders button and clicking the Player Stats button. Both for points and PIM, the Leaders window did not show the correct leaders, differing from what was shown in the Player Stats window. An example is shown below for PIM. In the Leaders window, Petan is shown as the leader with 12, then the next highest is Andreoff with 5. But in the Player Stats window, the leader is Wingels with 15 and two other players (including Petan) have 12.

The example I posted had many more candidates for the losing team than the one selected, none of which rated a 2nd star. Also, the player who scored 2 goals on the winning side did not get a star.

In another game, the losing goalie made 50 saves in a 4-2 loss (last goal an empty netter). This deserves a star over a guy with only an assist.

I think a high GR should play a role in the stars, though not an overwhelming one.

It looks like in your case only players who have played 2 games are counted in the leaderboard, those with just 1 game played, not. This is a bug.

Having opening in lineup causes game to crash when pressing Finish Today button.

I have setting for assistant to set lineup and tactics, shouldn't assistant take care of this???

[tarashnat]

Box score of prior games has current record of the teams instead of teams' records leading up to game in question.

Most likely. We could conceivably do a quick update without data changes in it if some enormous, game-killing bug was fixed, but even in that case this is literally ticking one box, so I could probably sneak it in regardless.

What sort of an opening? Unused lineup spot, or a line that isn't filled out completely?

A line had the LW missing.

They shouldn't be getting reset the Rules or changed by the Computer if one happened in real life.

It seems like you've made your point several times. I think the mods/devs have acknowledged it as your point. Restating it many times probably isn't going to change anything.

OT goal scored, but scoreboard and highlights not updated.

I go to the Entry Draft page

I select Info from drop down

I sort by Potential

I then select Skater Ratings from the drop down

Instead of seeing the ratings of the players with the highest Potential, I get a bunch of Goalies in alphabetical order.

This makes using the scouting screen very difficult to use. Instead of being able to compare the players in one place, I have to hunt all over for the information. This is extremely annoying.

Sorting should persist between changes of data displayed.

I only was replying to somebody comment on it. I have said about Editting Rules all year round but that's not a Bug.

Yeah, that's an issue in other places as well. I'll see if we can get it to just retain the existing sort until you actually specify a new one.

Exports appear to have the columns/data messed up.

Custom league has different numbers in the CSV than the attributes. In commissioner mode. In the CSV, all players, including goalies have a rating for RW. Checking shows data being one column off for aggression, bravery, determination, etc.
