Can someone tell me if these are the default settings for HOF?

I was messing around with the middle mouse wheel and they starting changing..

Is there an "export rosters" function? If not, will the team look into its eventual inclusion? Thanks.

iirc, the devs are aware of this and it will get adressed - I´m sure Cole or Jeff will answer this soon

We'll be doing some work on the Swedish and Finnish league setups soon. The new SHL playoff system was a little too complex to get implemented in time before release, but we can take another shot at it now.

There's a csv export function in multiplayer, is that what you're looking for or something else?

Where can we find the CSV file after we generate it?

How about the salary for a human GM? Does it count against a budget?

Same question for preference strategies for a GM.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of a way to run a MP league as just GM only? I can only add that setting when I add guys during the league creation, not later on.

In your saved game folder, in the exports\csv subfolder. They'll be several different files.

I just started a 2015 season game and would like to export my rosters, but I don't know how to get to that point. Also, where might I choose to import rosters? Thanks.

Migrating to Windows 10.

Would be wise to unlicense FHM2 and then license the game after the migration to Windows 10 is complete?

Thanks

Yes, most of the ratings are used for human GMs, but patience is only used for a Teamowner (firing the GM) or AI GMs (firing the Head Coach).

The preference values are only used for coaches (lineup creation and tactics) and AI GMs (signing new players).

The salary of a human GM counts against the staff budget.

I found a way. However, it is not inuitive at all i dont think. I mean, if you're forced to commit a rule breach i dont think you should be able to do the deal in the first place, especially since, for a fact, it was my first day in office and i had made no deals yet.

Is there a way to work around this?

Yes, the commish has to do the following: Go to his team, Personnel -> Free Agents and then select a Head Coach. Go to Edit and move him to the team from the GM / Headcoach. He is now only the GM.

Yes. Before you lose your current OS, unlicensed the game so you keep that license.

Where would that be on a Mac? I did not see it in the Application Support folder.

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand these instructions?

The old Nordiques did, once, but then they traded the problem for Peter Forsberg.

But seriously, that sounds like the expansion teams may be getting classified incorrectly as part of a Canadian league when the NHL's nationality, in game terms, is American. We'll check it out.
