In my first season, I was nominated for the end of season Athletic Director of the Year but was then unexpectedly sacked just a few weeks later.

They then appointed a new head coach and sacked him a month later without playing a single game.

Other teams who had been on good runs in the national college championships also sacked their coaches.

Can send you my game file if you want, but should be easy to replicate if you just run the game for one season and observe end of season changes. ]]> FHM - Technical Support/Bug Reports Colorado https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=369033 News items linking to wrong head coach https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=369032&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Apr 2026 19:52:28 GMT On news items confirming a new head coach has been appointed somewhere, clicking on the name takes you to a completely random coach.

I tried this with the same setup in a different custom game, but ended up having to restart and redo everything because I accidentally set it to challenge mode and couldn't edit any league settings.

The first time I could go all the way to the playoffs and the start of a new season, but here I can't even get through february. Same minor leagues, same farm leagues, same teams, same arenas, everything. Setup takes almost 2 hours for everything, I really don't wanna restart cause of some bug. From what I can see, the only thing happening that day is the start of the farm league's playoffs.

You can test this yourself easily but I've added some screenshots. I don't see how these draws makes sense in the tournament stage.

For the Atlantic Hockey tournament, for example, it makes no sense why Army (first place) would be playing Bentley (sixth place).

Then, looking at the ECAC standings, it clearly indicates the top-eight cut: Yale finished 8th place here, yet they're not even in tournament, but St. Lawrence, who finished outside the top-eight in 10th place are included instead. Ninth-place Union Garnet finish outside the top-eight but didn't qualify, so why would St. Lawrence? The seedings also seem odd with 1st place Quinnipiac playing seventh-placed Princeton.

Any insight on this would be really helpful - if this is actually all correct and I'm missing something, it would be really helpful to have this explained in the rules section so people can understanding what's going on.

In addition there is no news notification confirming which teams DID make the cut for the national finals and the regional groups. I think this sort of communication is sorely needed to improve immersion.

The rules section for the college leagues are otherwise really well-explained btw.

I recently started a historical franchise 24-25 in FHM 12, so last season in this years game. I was the San Jose Sharks who had a weird offseason with only 16 players out of 50 under contract. The game started with the contracts for some of those 16 contracts were well over what they are in real life. Macklin Celebrini on his entry level deal was getting 6 million per.

There is 9 players out of the 24 players that were drafted that were just never signed. And somehow there is players that has NHL team league rights but still can be signed as free agents. Im trying to figure this out. Syl Apps got drafted in the 1965 draft we are currently july 10th 1965 so he was just drafted and somehow i can sign him as a minor league team in the CHL.
