The historical players will be generated with age 17 and they will be in the next draft draftclass if they comply the draft rules.

Yes. You can do it one of two ways: have the players all appear at age 17 and get drafted (even if there wasn't a real NHL draft in the year you're playing in), or have them appear on the first NHL team that ever owned their rights at whatever age that happened. Either way, you get new real players every year - Howe in the 40's, Orr in the 60's, Gretzky in the 70's, etc.

That's exactly how to do it, yeah. Power's generally correlated with shooting range, accuracy with...well, accuracy.

The game looks very slick. One issue I noticed is that in historical certain special characters (ie, the "č" in Martin Ručinskı) show up as question marks.
Which screen exactly is it showing up like that? We've stamped them out in most places, but there always seem to be more hiding on us.

Can someone explain training in a bit more detail? Is it organization wide or individual clubs with coaches? I don't entirely understand how it works and the manual just provides top-line descriptions.

Individual clubs with coaches. Did you find the Development, Training, and Aging page in the manual, though? I wrote a pretty extensive description there.

I would also like to here the answer, because I'm in the same boat.

What resolution is the game set to right now? Check the preferences menu on the start screen. You want the second number (window height) to be smaller than the one you're using now so your window's not taller than your screen is.

Is there a way to set positional tactics for all four lines at once (set the same tactics for each line all at once rather than one by one)?

Seems to be on every screen. Roster, lines, the player's profile page, the player edit page. It's a 2004 historical season.

I poked through a few teams and I'm only seeing the ' č ' and ' ď ' characters as question marks.

Go to the templates tab on the tactics screen, make your changes, then save as new template. That'll put your new tactic in the load template dropdown on the main tactics screen, and you can quickly load it for each line without having to re-enter everything.

OK, we'll check it out. But I swear the Czechs and Slovaks keep inventing new letters to do this to us.

It might be a task bar at the bottom of the screen that is blocking everything. That was my problem. I put it in hidden mode and now I can play and see the bottom of the screen. Adjusting the screen size didn't help.

Are you by chance using a mac? I finally got my screen to show the whole game using a couple shifty little changes to my setup.

Copied and pasted this question from the general forum, as I didn't notice this thread at first.....

Loving the game so far. One thing I've struggled with (and this is something that occurs in OOTP16 as well) is that the fonts are very small on high resolution settings (the default on my ultrabook is 3200x1800). Maximizing window size doesn't help. Is there any way to improve readability without having to simply lower my screen resolution every time I play? Again, this is something I've dealt with in the past, so I came into this knowing I might have to work around it myself, but it would be nice if I didn't have to take this extra step just to be able to read the font.

Setting preferences to full screen or maximizing window size doesn't seem to do anything to make the font bigger. Basically, I'm just trying to scale up the font size.

This is a huge upgrade on 2014 and I am really enjoying it so far!

I have two questions so far:

1) when I start a game and then go back to the main screen to change something in the options, how do I get back to the game screen? I seem to be stuck at the main menu.

2) I asked this in the facegen mod thread but I'll ask here: I've created some facegen files for NHLers but they're not automatically loading up. I've stored them in the fg_files folder just like in OOTP but they're only showing up when I manually load them for each individual player. The naming conventions are correct too, so it's not that.

I finally get the logos to show up but for the life of me i can't get the st louis blues to work. I have tried st_louis_blues , st._louis_blues. Finally i figured out you need to underscores between st and louis. What a going on.

In a future update, I would really like to see the "unretire" option for players.

Pretty bummed to see Jaromir Jagr retire at 43 coming off a 23-goal 45 point season with the Oilers.
