FHM11 Hotfix 11.1.21 Now Available — Franchise Hockey Manager 11 News

Third post-release update, this one with some things that took a little longer to fix and test. Next update will probably not be until next week unless something game-breaking is discovered; that one will cover any other significant issues that can't wait until the first full update in mid-late November, when we'll also add the current database start option with updated rosters.

Your existing savegames will be compatible with the updated game, but several of the issues fixed this time (missing NHL renewals, Colorado history, CHL Import Draft, historical transfers, Wanderers challenge) will require a new game to be started.

Changes:

-added a bunch of missing NHL contract renewals and a few other contracts, as well as fixing a few smaller database issues
-"hire a scout" owner goal now gives a clearer location for the scout
-CHL Import Draft is working properly again
-23-24 stats for Colorado Avalanche players now have the correct team
-transfer relationships between leagues in historical should be correct now, there was a problem in our editor that was corrupting the changes I was making, which led to problems for NHL teams signing their draftees and AHL and WHA teams signing players away from (nonplayable) minor league teams
-fixed issue preventing some NHL-contracted players loaned to CHL teams from being returned to their NHL team on July 1, eventually leading to their contract expiring and them becoming UFA's
-fixed crash with Montreal Wanderers historical challenge
-if a player who is the target of an Owner Goal retires, the goal now immediately terminates, instead of staying active and pointing to a new player
-fixed issue preventing trades from teams attempting to trade for a pick, and made some smaller trading adjustments; we're continuing to work on the trading/transfer volumes (the fix has left them a little player-for-pick heavy); trading is getting to be around the right overall volume now, but the transfers in Europe need a lot of improvement, there are too few of them
-regenerated records/leaderboards to work with the database changes
