Well, I'm gonna guess it's gonna be late night, as usual.

Also don't forget the possibility that it might not be until Saturday. Saturday was left open as an option.

nichklasbäckström · 09-06-2013, 08:32 AM

so my first season is over i don't have one crash..

but after the season i cant see the stats from the earlier season?
I will see what player in other leagues and in my League(NHL) have the most goals assist and so on,is that fixed with the update?

gmerger · 09-06-2013, 10:00 AM

Man I hope this gets released soon. I am sort of stuck in my season because I don't want to advance and lose half my team because I can't re-sign them.

Yeah, and that'd mean there might be even more bugs fixed in the next patch. :P

1. Crashes when clicking on names of players currently playing in non-playable leagues (e.g., on draft previews or during draft.)
2. Crashes when adding players to a trade, or moving scroll bar while looking at trade offers.
3. When changing goalies during a game, impossible to move the starter to G2, and therefore impossible to continue.
4. Teams passing on draft picks in historical mode.
5. Not possible to re-sign your own players.
6. Swedish relegation (in both leagues) not working correctly.
7. Goalie shutouts not recorded and W-L-T recorded incorrectly.
8. Computer-run teams making trade requests to the player but offering nothing in return.
9. Crash in custom mode when draft is disabled and inaugural player draft is simmed thorugh.
10. Inaugural draft in custom mode forcing user to choose goalies first.
11. Ability rating not recalculated after editing player.
12. Not able to start any games as St. Louis.
13. No drafts (entry or expansion) in historical mode.
14. Newly generated players outside Canada and US always get their national capital as a birthplace.
15. Too easy to acquire player rights in trades.
16. Players serving bench minors get 2 minutes added to their PIM.

Still nothing for the Macbook users who want to play fullscreen?

Just wondering if this was a bug,but I can't move players from my team into my team trade offer. Just wondering if this was a bug, saw someone else post a similar problem but he got no response. Wasn't sure if this was some of the fixes with trades.

Looks like a great game once the bugs are out.

Thanks.

Does the game say something why you cant move players to trade offer. I dont have any problems about this thing. Hmm. weird.

Just wondering about the process you are using to add players. I don't believe there is a drag and drop. I believe you have to right click on the player and then choose add. Not sure if that is what you are attempting to do.

kevin316 · 09-06-2013, 10:48 AM

I just don't have an option to move my players to the trade offer ,I can move the other team players into the trade demand, but I tried everything, all I can do is offer them money for a player. I tried dragging the player to the trade offer, but that doesn't work. Not sure if its me just not getting it or missing something or if there is a problem with my game or when I down loaded it.

Thanks.

Craig M · 09-06-2013, 10:51 AM

What league are you playing in, Kevin?

Could it be one that doesn't actually allow trading players, and only allows you to 'buy' them?

kevin316 · 09-06-2013, 10:58 AM

Playing in 1947 but I think I found the problem, if there is no option to drag the player or select him to a trade in his player profile then, I should right click and have that option but on my laptop I am not able to right click, I need to get that fixed so I will install a mouse and my problem should be solved.Feel like an idiot but thanks for the help, and I know that this is not the place to solve a problem so sorry for that, I thought this was a bug but looks like its a hardware problem on my end.

Thanks again.

Brob89 · 09-06-2013, 11:36 AM

We all met with the same frustration initially, Kevin.
"Why can't I make a trade!! Ugh!"
You simply were quicker to seek the help of the forum
community.
I also am playing on a laptop, a mac actually, so we share these difficulties.
Did you try pressing the control button while you click on the track pad?
That is how I do a right click on my laptop.
Either way, it may be necessary to get a mouse since clicking in general is so
unresponsive from the track pad. Maybe not, we'll see after the patch comes out.

moore4807 · 09-06-2013, 11:53 AM

Kevin,

A lot of this so far is trial and error, posting is exactly what you need to do.

You proved my point again about this "hysteria" (bad word to use - but I'm frustrated with the frustrated ones too) We will get through this and by your acknowledging it was hardware on your end can allow the troubleshooters to move on. :-) Good Job!

If all the posters with a complaint or question put your computer info in the same post - it would help the developers see if there is a correlating problem to the OS or even brand...

(Just for example) OOTP did this in the early days and while it wasn't a perfect solution, I became a convert because Dell had a problem with its video card on XPS laptops - a rollback of drivers fixed the problem, and Dell came out with a patch for thier video card too. End of that problem and OOTP moved onto other problems because Markus had us put in our computer info into the post .

That happened to me playing as the Rangers, lost half my roster.

JeffR · 09-06-2013, 12:09 PM

We've fixed some more problems, but aren't happy with the stability in today's build, so we're going to do some more work and testing and try for a Saturday release. Sebastian's cancelled the trip to Berlin he'd had planned for the weekend, and I'm going to skip driving down to Penticton to see the Canucks-Flames rookie game tonight.

We're trying to get rid of all the game-killers (crashes and things that make it impossible to progress) with this patch, as well as some issues that don't require a lot of testing to confirm if they're fixed. Significant alterations to systems like free agency will require a longer testing run - I've got the changes drawn up to keep North American players from signing in Europe so cheaply, for example, but it'd be a bad idea to drop them in now in the midst of the other changes, with a day or less of testing to observe the AI behaviour and the complicating factor of other changes that may alter it. We've learned our lesson from release about trying to cram complex changes like that in at the last minute.

Mac display issues will probably be a second-patch item as well - there are a few of them, they're varied, and in some cases difficult to get to occur on command, so it'll make more sense to tackle those as a group and make sure it's all working properly together, rather than fixing one thing and breaking another, or making a different existing problem worse.

lorreporre · 09-06-2013, 12:13 PM

Thank you for the update Jeff, i am confident you guys will get major bugs fixed quite soon ...

Will you please fix the issue with selecting regions in custom league setup. Doing so does not change the cities to fit the desired region.
