The Beta: What to Expect - Page 7

mavericktango · 03-03-2013, 01:53 PM

I'm ready to start with a modern day game in England (haven't decided what team yet) and an historical game with the New Jesery Devils in 1992 ( the first team (and year) I saw live in the NHL)

Be interesting to see the difference in skill levels

Saves will become obsolete through this entire process, until September.

I won't download the next build if I am playing a league and it performs good enough,then when the league has completed play,I will download the next build.

As soon as I mentioned Bart Crashley., my OOTP13 game crashed. Good thing I save after every day's play

Habsfan18 - Fully understood. I would assume that like most, I'd rather have a buggy hockey sim that I know is being worked on, rather than no hockey sim at all.

I'll definitely try out the Canadian junior leagues, and probably some of the other leagues as well.

I might be a little late to the party on this, but I wasn't online this weekend and just saw the thread.

The best part is that since it is a beta, your participation in that means you are helping shape and improve the game for its official release in September.

Are there any dormant teams in the AHL or ECHL?

I'm just hoping that the user gm contract system is activated. If not its not the end of the world but it would cool to see. I think I can wait 1 more day to find out

We should play the beta together and like talk while we are playing. Like skype or something.

Yes! Just there was mention that the time for when we can purchase on Monday was going to be released today

Hologram · 03-03-2013, 03:56 PM

I'm pretty sure Sebastien said earlier that there was no release time decided yet, but that they'd let us know right away via Twitter, Facebook, and Forum when it was available for purchase on Monday.

They wrote on the forum: No specific time decided so far but we will make sure people know about it once it is ready via this forum, Twitter and Facebook

So i guess we will not get a time. We will only find out when its been released.

PromisedPain · 03-03-2013, 04:37 PM

I'm expecting the release within 30 minutes.

Along these same lines, Steam groups all have their own chat room, so any Steam users here who's in the FHM group can get together and chat while playing.

actually it's not, it will probably be released on Tuesday in Germany because of the time difference

Stinson · 03-03-2013, 04:58 PM

If I had to take a guess, I think we'll see it around 12:00 to 3:00 PM in Germany, or 6:00 to 9:00 AM in eastern US/Canada.

My theory is that they'll get into the office and spend the morning prepping and putting the final touches on things, then release it after lunch. Then they'll spend the afternoon dealing with the inevitable technical issues and questions.

Of course, that's just my own personal theory... I take no responsibility for your disappointment after it doesn't release when I thought
