Post by danzoeee »

Hey guys, i've been trying to play EHM 2007 for about 3 days now and i've been trying to fix this, but i realise that i simply can't.

So, here's the problem.. The time isnt moving at all in the game (it is stuck) i've to go on vacation so the days actually goes by..

So, i take a vacation to the day where i got a game..And i've all my tactics up and all, but then i can't "play" the game.. simply, i cant coach the games, or watch it or whatever.. So, all i am doing now is taking a vacation ](*,)

Does anyone know what the hell is going on..? :dunno:

and im sorry for the engrish lol.. i'm from sweden, I hope you understand what kind of problem i'm having :-p


am i missing something, maybe something that I HAVE to do before i can play a game?

Try going backwards(arrow). Check your news. Check if you have gone into something (player search, or some kind of menu where you have to click ok or cancel.

The game will only progress once you click Continue, on the far-left of the navbar. If you have a game that day, it'll process all the day's events up to your game, at which point it'll stop and take you to the league's schedule screen. Click Continue again, and that night's games will process (unless you're set to coach your games yourself, then it'll take you to your game).

Don't feel bad. It took me a few days to realize that I had to take a player off Injured Reserve before he could play :-D
