Adam has player ID#0, so when there's a problem with the award data it may wind up pointing to him instead of the actual winner. If you can upload that save (uploading instructions at https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=341827) we can have a look and may be able to figure out exactly why that's happening in this case.

Will drop and drag lines ever be available for the Fast Spring version?

Thanks for all of the work on the update. I've played quite a few 2D games and the frozen puck issue seems to be fixed. I also appreciate the implementation of the historical minor penalty rules prior to 56-57.

Question - did the historical rules for expansion drafts get implemented in this update? See link to thread below.

Hi guys, thanks as always for your hard work. I fired up a brand new save after installing this update with the Winnipeg Jets (the team I support and am therefore quite knowledgeable about) and I noticed a number of errors with players on Entry-Level Contracts: players have either too many or too few years remaining on their contracts. Especially given it affects when young prospects need new contracts, this is pretty important imo. I hadn't advanced this save one day.

This led me to check other franchises and basically every team is riddled with contract errors for their young players. I think something on your ELC tracker or whatever has been broken. Some players that should have 2 or 3 years, and some players that should have less years have the full 3. I didn't go through every team but I wen through Winnipeg and then the 1st 6 teams alphabetically and every single team I've checked has multiple errors when you check their contracts on PuckPedia.

Here's what I've found. For each player, the contract length they have in game is listed and then the actually years they have are in brackets. For example, Brad Lambert should have 3 full years left starting in 24/25 but only has 1 year remaining in game and requires a new contract after the 24/25 season. That is shown as Brad Lambert 1(3).

- ANA: Tyson Hinds 1(2), Noah Warren 2(3), Tristan Luneau 2(3), Nathan Gauthier 1(3), Sam Colangelo 2(1)

- BOS: Jackson Edward 2(3), Ryan Mast 1(2), Max Wanner 1(2), Fabian Lysell 1(2), Brett Harrison 1(2)

- BUF: Vsevolod Komarov 2(3), Noah Östlund 2(3), Oliver Nadeau 1(2), Juri Kulich 2(3), Isak Rosén 1(2), Zach Benson 3(2)

- CGY: Artyom Grushnikov 1(2), Samuel Honzek 2(3), Lucas Siona 1(2)

- CAR: Aleksi Heimosalmi 1(2), Scott Morrow 3(2), Jackson Blake 3(2), Logan Stankoven 1(2)

- CHI: Dmitri Kuzmin 1(2), Nolan Allen 1(2), Samuel Savoie 2(3), Paul Ludwiski 2(3), Landon Slaggert 1(3), CONNOR BEDARD (!!) 3(2)

- WPG: Brad Lambert 1(3), Danny Zhilkin 1(2), Chaz Lucius 1(2), Dominic DiVincentiis 2(3), Elias Salomonsson 2(3)

Given this is the last content update this might be too late for FHM 11 but for FHM 12 it would really help the immersion/realism if these were correct.

Thank you finding this. Now I can comb through the rosters and fix the contracts for my manual roster update.

That will be a grind, but know that it's really appreciated

So, will there be a hotfix update for this?

My computer virus protection will not allow me to download fix 11.4.49 or the next one. I have downloaded earlier fix files with no issue. My security system tells me that the .49 fix can't be downloaded securely.

That'll be a false positive, evidently. Which browser are you using? Most popular ones will allow you to select the item which has been flagged and instruct the browser to proceed with the download.
