Trying To Add A Junior League

Curve Ball Dave · 11-03-2021, 08:46 PM

I've imported my custom league from FHM 7. The league is the regular NHL structure plus the AHL. It's nothing fancy.

I'm trying to add a Junior League (ECHL) and I'm having two major problems. These occur regardless if I add a junior league or an AHL farm league.

First, I set the country as USA and the region as All USA & Canada. The player creation defaults to the UK and there is no way to change it.

The second problem is I'm trying to set the entry level contract to $25000 and after I hit "save" it goes back to $550000. This happens if I have a salary cap on or off, as well as a floor. I also can't set the minimum age to 17.

Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like there may be an issue with Add League setting incorrect values for the league nationality, I get the same English thing when adding a new junior league to an NHL+AHL setup in an FHM8-created league. It looks like the nationalities work correctly if you don't set a region for the league, so that's likely the source of the problem. We'll get that fixed.

The value for entry-level contracts is changing because it can't be less than the league minimum salary, but it appears that the minimum isn't being set correctly for a new junior league, we'll fix that as well.

Thank you for your prompt response and attention.
