So I saw in your video you added an injury slider. That's great but I don't think injury frequency was ever an issue. I just assume you base injury frequency on historical data and therefore I have zero interest in adjusting that. I often go weeks without an injury.

What isn't based on historical data (and the biggest hinderance to historical play in my view) is durable players getting injured for 4 to 8 months over and over and over and over. I l almost expect now, when I see a 7 month injury in the news feed, to click on the player and see his injury profile half white.

So today I was running 1971-72. First week, Guy Charron 7 months, Ross Lonsberry 4 months. Look at their ratings?

I have no problem when my Mario Lemieux or Peter Forsberg of Bobby Orr have season ending injuries. I know it will happen eventually.
I'm talking about unrealistic injuries. Give a durable player a max 2 weeks, not 8 months. If you say it COULD have happened then I guess Joel Quenneville COULD have scored 80 goals one season. I don't see the difference. They are both historically inaccurate.

Hope this is helpful. Keep up the good work.

There's a lot of factors that goes into a player getting injured, the most important being coaching. Tactics and how players play can greatly affect how they get injured. Durable players can get hurt under some circumstances.

Okay yes I understand my players could suffer from my coaching. In fact if I manage only and hire a coach, I do get less injuries (god knows why).

But none of the players I mentioned were on my team. The AI was running those teams. I was only observing. This isn't a complaint about my team. It's the leagues in general.

Update: Best one yet: 20 year old Mike Modano, 2nd preseason game - 5 month injury. None of these players are on my team.

Is there an update coming with the latest trade deadline moves?

[Templer]

Is there a date for the next update?

[ZootMurph]

Is there a way to download the draft into an excel spreadsheet for easier viewing?

Thank you!

[JeffR]

No date yet for the update, still working on it. It will include the post-trade deadline rosters.

You can't export a list of the draft players specifically, although you could build a draft list from the general list of players exported by the Export CSV option on the save menu; you'd need to cut it down to just the draft-eligible players.

Thanks Jeff. I expected a straight up no, so that's a great start.

Working on rosters - fine...

But I would prefer it, if bugs are fixed and if the features, especially the new features, get polished!

Do you really think that's not part of the update?

Not at all.
Just want to say, that in my humble opinion, bug fixes and polish should be the priority!
I fear that time will be required for roster work, which is then missing for extensive bug fixing.

[redtiger7]

Which (if any) historical edit setting controls the minimum age of players? How about number of draft rounds?

Well, the game has a team for the DB and programmers/developers...naturally there is a bit of overlapping, but the roster work isn't going to steal so much time to the developers

OK, thank you.
Your answer is now like a band aid on my worries.

How do I filter league stats by rookies?

There's a "rookie" checkbox if I'm not wrong in the stats screen within the "filter" section

Can you import players into your created minor leagues instead of manually editing them in the game?

No, the manual player addition is the only way to add players right now. But the minor league teams will normally fill their rosters via signing free agents and/or players being assigned to them (or, if they're desperately short of players and need to play a game, players will be created for them.)

Quick question in case this happens a lot: I recently purchased FHM7 and immediately created a hockey universe. I just joined a mid-tier league and every day I get bombarded with a "Welcome to x team" announcement. Yesterday I was hit with 10 in one (game) day. Is there any way to fix this?

It's appearing every day? I've never seen that before, that message is only supposed to happen when you first take over a team. Could you upload that save (upload instructions here)? I'd like to have a look at that.
