Bugs & Crashes in EHM 1

[hockey17jp]

My game is missing the end of the year awards. The awards haven't been given out since the end of the 17-18 season. I don't get the notification to vote for the Vezina anymore and the awards tab is never updated.

Is there a fix to this problem? I love seeing my players win individual awards, and that part of the game is completely gone. Gustav Nyquist has lead the league in points 4 out of the last 5 years but he doesn't have a single Art Ross trophy.

This one isnt game braking but extremely annoying.
Ive got this error message at random times before, but never as often as with Dundee Stars. It shows up when clicking on some news, but it switches to the news you clicked on as soon as you click "OK" and the news items are perfectly fine. It also happens if you go back and forth between pages and got a "faulty" news item highlighted.

get_position_string() : position passed is invalid

Hello! I was same Suomi-sarja in few days ago and Vacation mode works fine for me. Something still might be broken because my team relegated although I am quite qualified GM

On one of my saves this happened- was the GM of both the Pittsburgh Penguins and the W-B Penguins, and whenever I went on vacation with the W-B manager it didn't work. Ended up restarting my computer and it worked. Not sure if it was luck or something specific.

I dunno whether this is a bug or not.

Its happened when i start new game with latest DB TLB v7.4c. Its happened in early of FA markets. I try sign 2 of RFA from other teams, both of players accepted my Offer Sheet with compensation of 2nd rounder and 3rd rounder.

So, waiting for their team (right holder) to counter-offer. After a week past, I got massages tell me that both team cancel the offer because of the offer is unrealistic which mean my offer also being cancel.

Before, i never face such problems when signing RFA player.

Please check.

Thank you.

This is the second time i've seen this happen in like 4 or 5 seasons.



They are all out for the same amount of time (3 months)

This has to be a bug because for this to happen for the second time is just not possible.

Same happened me too, twice, and actually player will be out 4 months.

Riz could probably use some saved games uploaded over at SI to look into this issue http://community.sigames.com/forumdispl ... Bugs-Forum

[riazorblues86]

I can't sign RFA player anymore with latest update.

Player agree to signed offer sheet but teams will cancel the trade with reason of the offer is not realistic.

I tried for 2 season in a row..none of RFA is signed by me or by their team.

Please check.

Thank you

I'll post this on the SI forums on the weekend probably:

Olympic fail. 32 games NHL games during the Olympics in 2010, the AI did very poor with managing waivers (37 guys on waivers the first day of games after the break), and my team has 5 games in a row coming of the break, about 8 teams have 3 in a row in that first week back.

I'm not convinced that practice is working properly. I accidentally left my guys on all intense into Christmas, and then reduced skating and conditioning on most to medium. The only ones who aren't 100% are those who are NOT at intense conditioning and skating.

I had always understood it was near suicide to leave guys on intense on both, but the only ones not cracking are those still going crazy in practice.

I am also experiencing this. I am wondering if somehow intense might be registering as resting possibly?

That would possibly explain the poor player development we're seeing for human managers as most of us use intense on several practice areas.

New updated is here and this was not fixed. Been having the same issue. Then for example Chicago tries to re-sign Saad and he agrees and then Cancels the trades. This process gets repeated throughout the season.

[nino33]

Yeah there are things that need fixing, that's for sure!
I suspect that the RFA thing isn't high on the priority list (IRL there's been one RFA signing that wasn't matched in the last 18 years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_N ... fer_sheets)

Well I hope it hasn't affected our prospect development too bad, especially over a few seasons. I don't know when this started but I don't want to go back either... too much has changed with the team

[longshot]

I just did a test where I had everyone on intense from Jun 1st- Sep 1st and another run through of those dates with the coaches in control of practice. There were better results with development with the manual coaching on itense.

Can you also compare intense and medium?

[longshot]

Oh yeah.. I did notice that their stats LOWERED when the coaches had control. Max Jones lost points in about 3 categories instead of going higher or staying the same.

[nino33]

I've just started some testing looking at the same couple teams in 3 different sims - one at all Intense for practice, one at all Medium, and the third with the Head Coach in control

I've got family plans the next few days (including some camping where I'll be away from my computer), but I should have some results by early next week

I experienced not being able to go back to the game from Windows after some time.

While in game I would at times go to Windows with Alt+Tab, and return back to the game, with no issues. At one point I would get to a state, that everytime I attempted to get back to the game, I would only see the first 3 buttons in top left corner (home button etc) and no other buttons. Otherwise I would just see my background Windows app on the screen. I could for instance move my mouse to the top right "continue" button, and it looked like I could continue to the next day, so that the game seemed operational otherwise.

A bit annoying to go back to the last save

Since a recent update are there issues with RFA's not filing for arbitration?
I've seen one guy not sign anywhere and the season is now underway, no sign of arbitration and his demands have lowered massively, but still no contract (no teams coming in with offer sheets either, but if I go in with one it gets matched every time). I'd have thought he was a prime candidate for arbitration a few weeks back, never mind now - and my guys have always been quick to demand it, unless an update has messed it up?

It's hard to know what to think in your example, because you don't mention any of the relevant circumstance, you don't even mention who the player that won't sign is

And the RFA thing has come up a few times lately, and since IRL it's successfully happened once in the last 18 years (8 years ago) it can't possible affect things that much IMO
I certainly don't immediately think "issues" or anything "messed up" based on what you're describing...

The Draft lottery is broken. Teams finishing in certain spot are winning the lottery way more they should. Although these are small sample sizes trends are emerging.

Here is currently the odds of winning the first overall pick depending on where you finish in the standings.

30th 20.00%
29th 13.50%
28th 11.50%
27th 9.50%
26th 8.50%
25th 7.50%
24th 6.50%
23rd 6.00%
22nd 5.00%
21st 3.50%
20th 3.00%
19th 2.50%
18th 2.00%
17th 1.00%

In test one I simulated the the Draft lottery 20 times. I would sim ahead one day to draft lottery (June 14th) find out the winner and exit the game without saving and repeating this 20 times. Here are my findings for test one.

Buffalo finished in 30th place and thus had a 20% chance of winning. They managed to win the lottery 9 times for 45% win-rate. 2.25x higher then they should have but like i said small sample size. However the team finishing 27th with only 9.5% odds (New Jersey) also won 9 times for a 45% win-rate and over 4.5x higher then they should have. The remaining 12 teams won the lottery twice. Florida (21st) and Edmonton (25th)

So in test one the 30th and 27th ranked teams combined to win the lottery 18 out of 20 times or 80% which is about 3x more likely they they should have won.

In test two i did the same think but started a new season and once again simmed to the draft lottery 20 times. Here are the results for test two.


In test two the last place 30th ranked team (Winnipeg) won the lottery only once out of a possible 20 times. Which was at a rate of 4x less then they should have. 29th ranked (Buffalo) won six times for 30% of the time. 25th ranked Vancouver which on any given draw as a 25th ranked team would only have a 7.5% chance of winning won 10 times including six wins in a row for a 50% win rate. And finally the 17th place team (Columbus) which had only a 1% shot at winning the lottery won 3 times!

So like i said these are small sample sizes and won't be totally 100% accurate but it's in my opinion that the lottery system is broken.

I'm hoping that it will be fixed because although not a big deal why have the lottery system in the game to begin with if it's not going to work the way it should.

[Manimal]

IIRC, Riz mentioned he wouldn't do much about the lottery as it is changing again for the 15-16 season
