I love the game but I am experiencing a lot of issues.
I always play a custom, multiplayer game, with fictional players; sometimes with an initial draft and sometimes without. Sometimes I have just the NHL + AHL, other times I add the CHL.
Here are the issues:
1) In two separate draft games, the game would crash if you clicked on the Finance tab of the Arizona Coyotes. (I assume this is just a comment on the state of the Coyotes finances.
)
2) In another attempt at a initial draft game, the Seattle Kraken, despite having no players on their roster, only had $10M to spend on players in the initial draft and could not select players above a minimum contract.
3) In a non-initial draft game, players whose 18th birthday was after Sep. 15 were still eligible for selection in the entry draft the following year.
4) Coachella Valley Firebirds are not included in the AHL and need to be added.
5) The revised tactics (Great, Good, Bad, Terrible fit) did not work properly with an imported FHM8 save. (All players were just shown as a great fit for the "Positional Style". This was a big disappointment.)
6) Fictional players seem to be exclusively Caucasian. (I assume this is a comment on the lack of diversity in Hockey.
)
7) The fictional name generator is a nightmare. There are a ton of Marvin's, Melvin's, Hubert's, Clarence's, Chester's being generated, as well as a million variations of Ed and Bob. There weren't many kids in the late 90's early 00's being born with these names. The games also generates a lot of Hispanic given and surnames. It all seems a little odd. Any way to improve this?
Let me know if there is anything you can do to help with this.
It is pretty tough to play right now. My most stable game is my FHM8 import, but even with that game the new tactics are useless.
Thanks for your help.
