A maintenance update for Franchise Hockey Manager 3, version 3.0.74, has just been released. Your existing savegames will be compatible with the updated game, but some of the update's fixes may not retroactively correct certain problems in existing saves. This isn't a full-scale update, we wanted to get another one out quickly to address some of the crashing issues people were experiencing, and get the Steam workshop operating correctly. So, this one is a little light on other changes - we've changed a few things and begun work on adjusting things like trading AI, but we're still in the middle of that process now, so there'll be much more coming. [B]Important note: if you have a save where a Finnish league and/or Asia League Ice Hockey are set to playable, but the KHL isn't, you'll need to start a new game; the crash caused by this configuration can't be fixed in games that were created before this update (new games will work fine, the problematic combination of active leagues will be unselectable.)[/B] [B]Change List:[/B] [I][U]Crashing/Freezing:[/U][/I] -crash during game creation ("Sim to start date") in Path to Glory mode fixed -crash when closing games on a Mac fixed -attempting to look at a scouting Report with no scouts employed will no longer lead to a crash -Season Summary screen popup will no longer become unclosable in some circumstances -crash when looking at player game-by-game screen for certain players is fixed -crash during last pick of NHL entry draft fixed [I][U]Graphical/Text/UI:[/U][/I] -Tactics, Ingame Tactics, Discipline, Motivation and Self-preservation attributes for staff are now editable in commissioner mode -leagues who have alternates names/abbreviations in their history now get the proper abbreviation shown in player histories for that year (had been showing "NHL" or the current version of the abbreviation) -playoff history screen should now display correclty -Suomi-sarja - II-divisioona relegation now shows round-robin table instead of playoff tree -the sort order on the News Subscription settings is now alphabetical by abbreviation to reduce the confusion over Allsvenskan ("ALL") looking like a setting to choose all reports, since it was listed first. -various grammar, spelling, and formatting corrections -0-game "seasons" for players no longer listed in player history page (they're just there as an internal mechanism for historical mode) [I][U]Gameplay Issues:[/U][/I] -2015-16 added to historical start year options -NHL Restricted Free Agent compensation levels updated to reflect 2016 salary tiers -required roles for Wedge PK tactic adjusted -home advantage in NHL playoffs should now be awarded correctly -Czech ELH PrePlayoffs and seeding in normal playoffs fixed -news subscriptions are now updated automatically when user takes a new job (subscriptions for new league are added) -control setting for ECHL teams in a modern sandbox game where user is running an NHL team will no longer revert back to non-controlled status -user playing as GM/HC will no longer lose control of line changes if they hire a coach who then retires -some adjustments made to AI trading: there should be a few more trades for quality forwards and defencemen (although not as many as I'd hoped, something's still not right there), and there are now stricter restrictions on accepting "bad" exchanges in AI-AI deals. Far from done with AI trading changes right now, this is just a start. -AI will now be much more reluctant to trade high first-round draft picks to a human player - it can be done, but requires a heavy price for the AI to even consider it -training setup will no longer fail under some conditions when training is set to assistant in PtG mode, leading to no one getting training bonuses [I][U]Miscellaneous:[/U][/I] -Steam Workshop should now install mods correctly (no more error message when install button is pressed unless there actually is something wrong with the installation directory structure) -historical NHL logos added (a few defunct teams are missing logos, and some logo versions, e.g. the Islander fisherman, aren't there; we were limited to what the NHL had available) -playable league selection will now force loading of leagues that contain parent teams of leagues already set to playable
