Feedback on FHM11

NOTE: These observations are all from FHM11, I have not (yet) purchased FHM12. I realize no more updates are going to be done to 11. However if some of the below has been improved in 12 I might still purchase it, otherwise I don't see any new features that are of value to me.

1. Lines screen - If there's a blank spot on the lines (like only 3 RWs) there's no way to tell which of the dressed players (if any) is the one not already assigned. If I guess wrong, it moves the guy from another spot. Or I could have only 11 forwards, there's no way of looking at the Dressed List and seeing that. But if I have incomplete lines will the AI just choose dressed players to sub in, as in if from injury I'm shorthanded with only 5 defensemen?

2. Saved lines - I can't remove old saved lines or overwrite an existing one. So if I have a saved line set called "MyLines" there's no way to just save over that, if I type in "MyLines" again it puts in a second saved line called MyLines and I can't delete the previous ones.

3. Is there no way to export my roster to CSV? Maybe we'll want to adjust the special teams, I'll want to find my best two offensive defensemen for power play but flipping back and forth between the roster screen and the lines screen, if we could have the roster in spreadsheet form that would make it easier. I honestly find it hard to believe there's no export-to-CSV option.

4. Tactics screen. After setting tactics for a player and exiting that screen, it keeps reverting back to the first player on the list I have to keep re-selecting the player I'm setting tactics for.

5. In my playthrough, I'm observing the playoffs (with my team out). What confounds me is that I can't play 1 day at a time or whatever from the schedule screen. I can sim a game but the schedule screen doesn't show upcoming playoff games so I can't just go forward 2 days and sim the next one. We have to sim from the Play menu, but then we get kicked out to the game screen. So observing the playoffs consists of looking at the bracket, forward 2 days, get kicked back out to the game screen, going back to the bracket to see the results, then going back to the schedule screen and sometimes I find that even though I fast forwarded from May 1 to May 2 (or so I thought) the May 1 game is still unplayed in the schedule screen. This could be fixed by adding the play functionality to the schedule screen so we don't have to do this constant flipping back and forth through screens.

In the lines screen click the action menu button and then manage lines. Select line and hit the delete button.
