@xECK29x doesn't bite too hard

I'll drop him a message on Discord, it's most likely one of those things that isn't complicated to implement on the master db side of things, but not in our faces if we don't play outside NHL/North America.

Graz 99ers (ICEHL) --> EK Die Zeller Eisbären (AlpsHL) (source, German: https://hockey-news.info/alpshl-zeller- ... schlossen/)
Pioneers Vorarlberg (ICEHL) --> VEU Feldkirch (ÖEL) (source, German: https://www.pioneers.hockey/club/#leitbild)

In case I'm getting on your nerves with my suggestions, just let me know.

Thanks for this, will add! You aren't annoying at all, we want this level of detail, it's why we do this project . If you have more affiliations send them over! Best place to reach me is via Steam (send a friend request) or Discord (xECK29x#3429), though I still check here from time to time.

I´ve been getting an error message in my last to saves with this DB.
Everytime i gettin to the end of april i get this:

CUP::process_fixtures() - unable to find fixture

It doesn´t break the game and i have run many seasons. It allways come in the end of april and go on for some time.
I guess it has something with some tournament to do.
The World championship runs without problem

Probably some playoffs that have problems with setting up dates after the regular season. Could you check if all simulated leagues play their playoffs properly?

So after going trough the history page of all the leagues i have selected i noticed that it´s only one league that hasn´t named a champion for the 22-23 season.
That league is the Canadian SIJHL
They named their last champion in 21-22 according to my game history.
And after loading the other save i have they haven´t named a champion since 21-22 there either. That save is in 2027.

SO the problem league have to be the SIJHL.

Looks like I managed to repair it. Sent it over to xECK29x, so hopefully he can implement it in the next update.

Thanks for the report, Knoeppel.

Hey, thanks to you!
All i do is play the game and complain when i find something that´s incorrect =)

It´s you guys that keeps this game alive!
I wouldn´t have more than 4000h of gameplay if it wasn´t for all of you that keeps the game up to date.
So many thanks!

You would be surprised how little people do this .

Are there any good facepacks to go with this roster?

There are some on the Steam Workshop that cover most of the DB if you combine them.

Hi, I am now biting my nails for 2 weeks for the new roster update, i dont want to start with the old one. Is there a date set for the new update?

Please have a look on dalibor dvorsky in the 23 draft class. On 90% of my test saves he is on 100+ position, mostly undrafted, and in reality he is a top 10 prospect. I use all the recommendations you told to

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sporti ... zlh4vk3k9p alex ciernik also never there, what is ok is the position of maxim strbak, mostly between 30 and 40. Excuse me fort the spam, but i am a slovak and now are our golden times

Known Issues:

- The 7.3 release is largely untested besides specific testing of new/fixed league structures, you may run into issues. PLEASE REPORT THEM!!

No need to apologize I am very happy for my Slovak friends! I'll take a look now that the update is out of the way and patch in any changes needed.

Pushed a few more fixes into the 7.3.1 version:

General Updates:
- Fixed Olympic games not firing after first trigger -- thanks Matee!!

NHL Updates:
- Fixed Michael Bunting's contract -- thanks ekerckoff!!

I´ve noticed that since the newest update something has gone wrong with buyouts. First the Hurricanes released Fredrik Andersen, who was longtime injured, without getting any cap penalty.
So i tried it myself. I waived M-E Vlasic and when he cleared i released him. I got no cap penalty.

I also have been getting the error message "CUP unable to find fixture" again. I will look into it after the season is done. So i can se wich leauge that haven´t any winner.

After the season i checked and it is:

FPHL in Usa that has something wrong with its schedule and doesn´t name a winner.

The cap penalties were removed due to outstanding AI issues like https://community.sigames.com/forums/to ... mediately/.

I'd need to see a save to see what leagues were enabled to look into what to fix, the FPHL I'll look into.

Edit: Looked at FPHL and I'll be removing the schedule template and just going to hard set dates. Should fix those issues, I'll patch it in when I confirm its fixed, thanks for reporting!
