Will FHM 15 Have An Import From FHM14 Feature?

landru22 · 09-04-2014, 09:00 PM

As the title says. I spent a ton of time editing my fictional league for FHM 14 and was wondering if I'll be able to import it into 15 when it comes out. I realize that this may be a double-edged sword in a way as there were so many issues with V14 databases, but i'd hate to have to do all that editing again!

Normally my answer would be yes but to make sure, can you give a few details about what you did in your game?

I started with a fictional setup (22 teams). After the initial placement draft, I edited each player name and attributes to "import" my league that had been run previously using a different hockey sim. I did run into a few issues during the season (see my posts in the bug thread) but I was able to get through. After the last patch my league crashed on April 19 - I believe there is an issue with a 22 team league with only three rounds of playoffs - so I had to finish the season using the patch before it.

Is a customised "quick start" essentially a saved game from which a new saved game can be created?

If so, can game bugs exist in the custom quick start? Therefore, if an FHM 14 bug is fixed in FHM 15, does this mean that an FHM 14 quick start would potentially have those old bugs even when starting a new game in FHM 15 from that quick start (assuming 1. it's a bug where you need to start a new saved game to be rid of it and 2. that FHM 14 quick starts could be converted to FHM 15).

This is exactly why I would love to eventually be able to edit the DB rather than having to create and edit a quick start game.
