changedA new hotfix update for Franchise Hockey Manager 3, version 3.3.113, has just been released. Barring any newly-discovered game-breaking problems, this hotfix will likely be the final update for FHM3, clearing up some issues that arose with the large 3.3.109 update as well as making a few other fixes and changes. We'll be moving on to FHM4 development immediately; we have some fairly elaborate plans for a large overhaul of the game's internal systems that will take some time to implement and test properly if we want to get them into 4 along with the usual array of other major additions and changes. We wound up releasing later than we'd have liked to last fall, so we're starting the substantial changes earlier this time around - that'll get the game to you sooner next season, we hope, with even more new and interesting things in it. As always, we'll still be monitoring the forums and Facebook (FranchiseHockeyManager), Twitter (@FranchiseHockey), Reddit (/r/FranchiseHockey), etc. on a daily basis, answering questions and offering help as needed, so if you have any problems or suggestions, please let us know. We will, at various points in the next few months, be looking for additions to our testing and research teams, and possibly some other forms as help as well; we'll post in all those places when we're ready for that. Thanks for your continued support, we look forward to making an even bigger and better version of FHM next season. Changes in 3.3.113: Interface: -Fixed display error that showed the wrong tactical fit values on the Select Role screen for special teams. -3-on-4 tactical roles (and scores) now shown for defencemen (had been blank.) -Order of the logos on the momentum display is now correct, had been reversed -For games that haven't been played yet, the team schedule screen now shows '-' as the result instead of T -Shootout list is now changeable by the user while games are underway -If a player is injured and has to leave a game, his fitness will drop to 0% (mainly so there's an easy indicator of which player you need to replace when you're looking at the strategy screen) -Fixed some small typos/text issues Bug Fixes: -Possible crash while viewing international tournament history fixed. -Club logos no longer shown on the international teams stats screen for a particular tournament's history (had been showing NHL/AHL/WHL teams) -Tournament winner names now displayed correctly on the stats screen in international tournament history (had been showing NHL/AHL/WHL teams) -All-Swedish Champions achievement fixed, wasn't being recognized properly -In international tournament history, the standings screens for individual years now sorts teams in proper order, was listing them randomly for some tournaments. -Bug that could cause large fluctuations in international rankings after the first season fixed -Database issue that caused "Jim Unknowns" to appear in recent draft histories fixed -AI head coach will now use new goalie selection mode in GM-only games (had been leaving everything set to 0/minimum value and was always using the same starter) -Newly-created staff will no longer get scouting regions that don't match any of their nationalities Simulation/Rule Changes: -AI's choices for the Backup start frequency rule will tend to give the starter more preference unless that ratings are extremely close. -New injuries.txt file, fixes off-ice injuries that were mistakenly set to be allowed on-ice (no more dental surgery or dog attacks during games), and lowers frequency and duration of some injuries, mainly arm/shoulder-related ones -Missing transfer deadline for Suomi-Sarja fixed -Uncontracted under-20 players now have their rights set correctly
