Why Can't I Save/Exit Sometimes?

Post by The Senator »

I am new at this and have the stupid question of the day.Sometimes I want to save or exit the game and find myself stuck in menus where the save game or exit from game on the options screen is greyed out. It can be very frustrating trying to get out of the game.Help!

There are certain screens you have to exit from before you can go on. Usually this is Tactics and Player/Staff searches.

The easiest way to clear it is just to hit continue; but if you don't want to for some reason (like an upcoming game you don't want to play yet) just click your back arrow a bunch of times until your reach the screen you've left open and cancel out of it and you'll be set.

I've changed your title, which should tell other people reading what your thread is about so that people later on with the same question can find it easily. Also, you'll get more people that read the topic and say "Ah, I can help with this one!" if you give details :thup:

If you don't want to have to remember every screen from where you can't save/exit the game, here's a little "tip": try to return to your roster screen (for example), as you can save/exit from here. So when you are at this screen, you know for sure that you can do what you want. Hope that helps :)

Having trouble with my EHM 2015 online league over the past few days.

Latest issue:
When clicking the "Save" or "Save As" Button nothing happens at all.

It's not like the one with the open menues, where you can't even see these two options to chose.
Strange thing. Anyone heard of that before? Ideas?
