Time for a new patch?

Särås · 10-22-2013, 11:35 AM

Hi,
So whats the time frame on the new patch to the game?
Is it this week?
12 days since last patch and it´s still missing some mayor functions that need to be in a hockey manager game, let´s droop a few of the missing pieces in the game:
1. Coaching
2. Real ratings on personal and edit mode of personal that is 1-20 not 1-10
3. Rating on players performance during or after games (both please)
4. Scouting
5. Award types (calder trophy, Conn Smyth and so on), not all are there and also All Star Team and maybe a All Rookie Team to?
6. All Star games?
7. Olympics, Worldcup and so on...
8. Trading engine still some work, to easy to get the first overal pic
9. Computer Team need to manage the team better and take care of the draft pics the proper way and evolve players and use them!
10. Facegen?
11. Add a team ranking, players ranking and draft ranking during the season!
12. Expansion team and draft, start 2013 and make a team in Quebec (or what ever) and build a franchise!

This is not everything I could list, but it´s a start...
Also some errors in the game, the trading for a example but thats something everyone know! Going on the Trading block and try to make a trade for a player and it´s a hole other player and team (at least on my Mac)!

But the big question is, is it time for a beta patch or real patch this week!?
Is FHM going to throw a bone to the dogs?

Hope for that!
Thank You!

Can I also request Historical Entry Drafts for the Historical Games?

It's kind of pointless to play a historical game with >NO< entry drafts..... i mean... that kind of defeats the entire point. I realise that may take time, but would just be good to hear that it is in the pipeline eventually if possible

Smetana · 10-22-2013, 12:38 PM

If you're expecting all of these items to be incorporated into the next patch, just a few weeks after the last one...then I'd invite you to return to reality.

Would certainly be nice, though

If you start a new historical game the drafts return

drewst18 · 10-22-2013, 01:02 PM

As mentioned these requests I am sure are on the devs radar but not a 12 day work job they will take months to patch some of this stuff in if at all.

PromisedPain · 10-22-2013, 01:07 PM

New patch? Last time it took them like a month....

And that's a lot of stuff you've listed, not going to be in a one patch.

Särås · 10-22-2013, 01:53 PM

Understand that it´s not going to be in next patch, but we could hope for just a few!?

Just like to shoot the puck at the goal on the new patch to try to make a discussion when we could expect some news from FHM and what they been and working on!
Thanks!

We're working on it, but it's a little early to say exactly when it's going to be ready. Some of the stuff you're requesting (international play, all-star games, etc.) definitely won't be in the first version of the game, though - adding the international stuff alone is something that's going to take weeks of time all on its own.

Could you expand on this???

I start a historical game.. and there is >NO< entry draft at all. you seem to be saying that the solution to this problem is to, "start a new historical game".... which doesn't make sense

mabus · 10-22-2013, 04:37 PM

JeffRR,

If I could make a small suggestion? Perhaps a sticky forum, listing the stuff thats definately coming and you guys are working on, just so people know whats definately on the near horizon?

Great idea. Would love to see that. And then of course the obligatory 10 threads started by other people right below it asking for exactly the answers in the sticky thread above it.

I do think it is a good idea, just that in reality...the latter is what will happen.

traveler99 · 10-23-2013, 06:54 AM

Best idea since FHM was released, they should have done this in the first place, if have like this, it would get most opinions toned down for sure, as most i think is the uncertainty that is eating people (Including me) tell people what is coming and fix the adverts as well if the facegen is not coming, take it off the front page, Small things do miracles when you are open and clear about things.

rocksbury · 10-23-2013, 08:50 PM

Is Coaching going to be in this version. Is personnel planned on getting an overhaul, Things like the world cup and trading can be tweaked for years and people will still complain but I would like to see some coaches like quick offensive teams others big up defensive teams.

Looking around the forums it sounds like that is being bumped to FHM 2015 but even if its not complete tactics would be a huge addition to this game. At the moment its who has the highest number stats on their teams, even signing and trading relies heavily on that.

Why not take a break from constantly fixing those to repair core elements that have not been addressed.
Love the game so far, Seems like in 5 years its going to be on level with current OOTP games.

That would be perfect timing because my OOTP14 playoffs finish today.
