FHM Maintenance Update, Version 4.0.36, Now Available
A new maintenance update for Franchise Hockey Manager 4, version 4.0.36, has just been released.
To apply the update: -If you are playing the eSellerate version, just download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course. -If you are playing the Steam version, the game will auto-update if you have that option active. If you don't see the update in your Steam update queue, you may need to exit and restart your Steam client. -If you've purchased from the Mac App store, the game will auto-update, but since that update needs to be approved by Apple, it may be delayed (possibly by a few days if they disapprove the initial submission, as has happened at times in the past) Download link for PC: Main server: PC Installer Download link for Mac: Main Server: Mac Installer The only change in this version is a fix for a crash that could result if a player is injured during a game and the game is then decided by a shootout. We didn't want to leave a crash with a likelihood as high as that in the game until next week's update, so we're patching it now. |

Sebastian's offline so I can't check, but I'm fairly sure this will prevent the problem in existing games as well, without a restart.

Man, it will take you at least 3-4 months to fix all that mess in the game. I hope you'll make it. The game's worth it.

I'm not saying it's not playable. I mean the game needs some tweaks - some are serious, some are minor. I'm a perfectonist. I'd like to play a game that is very well organised. I remember playing a hockey manager before 2010. That is why i like it so much. I want to have a full product. Comparing to Football Manager, UHM needs to be corrected in so many ways. But I still like it.

Don't want to play modern day NHL(too boring). Unless I can add expansion teams right off the bat then I would be interested in the modern game. |

Ai Roster/lines managing
The last patch helped a lot. But two things are fundamentals : coaches and players attributes.
1) in historical game, if you edit personels for putting them in NHL level of their time area (and personality) it make a huge difference. 2) Sincerly, the actual historical databases are more than very good. But with some littles rationates twiks( for exeptionals players), it seems that FHM4 do an ashtonishing job now in regards of line selection. Example : playing Montreal in 1974 as from the box, Bob Gainey play 1st line and 1st PPLine. After Personel adjustments (coaches) and slightly adjusted gainey(down physicaly), Shutt and Lambert (more Off), Gainey now play in any lines 5vs5, but not in PP. I hope I'm clear. |

I agree of course. But questionable AI lines and roster management logic were weak points also in FHM3 so i hoped for some substantial improvements this year. |

I have to agree on that with you. We try to improve both every year and we will continue to do so in the future (not only new versions but also updates). Jeff just sent me a few more tweaks to the lines AI for example. But there is still a lot of room for improvements and we will continue to look into it.
