You can continue it. You're less likely to run into old problems if you start a new game, but saves from previous versions will be compatible.

I've really been dying to get into this again. So excited to see the hard work of all these guys in the updates.


With that being said I wish this was released right now! lol. I want to play so bad today/tonight before I have to go sleep and get up early for work. By the looks of it it'll be late EST time... tomorrow it is then!

Yes they do.

They tell their coach to scratch players because they have a pending trade coming up.

They tell their coach to play players more or less to keep them happy when contract negotiations are coming up.

They tell their coach to play that young rookie because his parents are at the game.

They give instructions to the coach on a regular basis on several matters.

Latest from Jeff in the official update thread.

Alright, I have to spend a little while doing last-minute tests of basic functionality and the installer right now to make sure nothing critical got broken during the final fixes today, and then the next message you see from me after this one should be the patch announcement unless something has gone seriously wrong in those areas. Unfortunately, though, the Mac version is going to be delayed until tomorrow; Sebastian's been wrestling with it all day but he's going to need a few more hours than the Windows one is going to take, so it won't be out tonight.


Thanks for all the communication and keep up the good work.

We all knew before the Mac version wasn't going to make it at the same time as the PC version.

OOTP has a really really passive way of working its not something I like a lot.

Ah, I cannot wait for this to come out. I haven't played for a couple of months because I too had some major points of pain with the game and I'm itching to start again!

The Memorial Cup is mine!

If you're out of licenses, PM me, I can get Andreas to reset it (although probably not for a few hours, it's the middle of the night over there.)

I did a Fresh install, and the game says it cannot activate, to try again later.

Been doing that for about 20 min now.

Am I out of licenses, or is this a common issue?

Yeah, there's a good chance that's the problem, the activation servers shouldn't be busy for that long this time of day. PM me your order number and I'll get the license reset for you.

Missing Shot Flag Icons on Rink Display?

Jeff,

I installed the patch and continued a game I had started before (the one you looked at) and the game runs fine with new parts added but I do not see the Rink Flags. I started a new game in Commisioner Mode and got a job in the KHL. Started play with still no flags. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall or is this suppose to happen?

I like the new changes but am curious.

Thanks!

Yeah, at this point reinstalling is definitely the best bet - I'm wondering if your copy of the file with the flags is corrupted, and didn't get replaced during the new installation (since we didn't make any changes to it.) Remeber to unlicense your game before doing the reinstallation.

Just to rule out the obvious, though - you're not immediately hitting "sim end" to get to the end of the game, are you? The flags won't be shown in that case (they do appear if the sim is just to the end of the period.)

They tell their coach to play that young rookie because his parents are at the game.again, no, coaches are capable of developing rookies without being told to

They give instructions to the coach on a regular basis on several matters.GM's and coaches talk daily about lineups, and situations. It's a constant working relationship. Any GM that insists on having a final say in lineups will have a hard time finding a coach that will work for them

Ivan
come on

Jeff,
Thanks for the response....I will reinstall and let you know. If the file is corrupted the reinstall will replace it? Or do I need to do some manual manipulations?
To answer your question I actually tried it several ways....letting the clock wind down, Sim to end of period, and speeding up time. Same result each time....each time the rink was empty.

Thanks again!
