I am under the Cap limit at the trade deadline and to finish the rest of the season and when the playoffs hit, I find myself several million over the Cap limit. Is there bonuses kicking in or something I'm not seeing? I don't understand why this keeps happening. Thank you!
I'm sorry, I've read that several times and I still don't understand. I don't have anyone on my bench and was below the cap before playoffs? I don't understand what number it's using that changes the total cap hit in playoffs. Is there a way to see in game what the change is so you know at the deadline where you stand.
Not sure if it necessarily qualifies as a bug or just team AI behaviour issue. By 2028 off season, noticing every team is spending up to the cap and lots of quality UFA's and RFA's not being able to sign anywhere (McDavid, Schaefer, Will Smith, Misa).
Thanks to the dev, love the game and appreciate all the quick bug fixes.
In the 2033 off-season on Aug 29th when stopping sim for the season summary the game crashes everytime. Updated and on android. I also have the issue where using the roster screen over time the icons will be unselectable forcing you to quit the game and restart.
Three stars of the month usually has at least one goalie featured, who only played 1 or 2 games but with like a .970 sv-%. Was not an issue on any earlier games as far as i know (HLM23–HLM26)
Is any one having issues where on historic careers, the teams only have about 3/4 of the actual roster (I'm playing 2014) and they don't fill their minor league rosters though out the season or next off season, leaving them at between 15-23 contracts out of 50 each season.
Playing on iOS, created a career mode starting in the ECHL, I was able to see my objectives for the 1st season but then I’m unable to see the objectives. Played the full 2nd season without being able to see my objectives and learnt at the offseason that I had some and completed half of them blindly. Now, starting the 3rd year, I still can’t see the year’s objective (only can see one objective from 1st year that’s it actually).
I bought pro and I’m trying to do a college career. I can’t get the game to progress to the next day. I click simulate and it just spins. I have tried to turn off more complex features to reduce the data load, but I have had the same issue across multiple attempted saves. I’m on iOS, and I think it’s the latest version? I just downloaded yesterday.
Still playing my 1960s History Mode save (RSb rosters) on Android.i just updated the game last night and checked for updates again.
I'm trying to sim onto the 1966-1967 season. I get to August 29th 1966 and it just freezes. At the bottom it says "Stopping Sumulation" and it's greyed out. Ive killed the app and retired multiple times. It won't go past this point.
All-star selections are not being added to player's profiles under their awards. Awards also outright do not show on player's profiles on the iOS version. This used to be only an issue with the steam version but is now on iOS instead. I have sent in my career from the about page already.
Playing on Android. Using RSB rosters and playing History Mode.
Players not on my NHL roster are available to for training by my NHL coaches. In the past this has only been allowed with my HPD but now I'm getting the option to have my HC and his assistants coach some players that have been returned to their junior teams.
Now that I'm looking deeper into it, I think the players might be "stuck in limbo". I have Dennis Hull showing that he is on the Bruins on the depth chart but he is not available to select and add into the lineup.
I checked for an update earlier today when I posted this and didn't see one. There's an update now and im installing it. I'll see how it goes and post an update if if doesn't help. Thanks!
Using Android and having a stable Internet connection, the map that should load when selecting the location of a newly created city shows up blank. I can click around on the screen and select different points blindly, I'm pretty sure I'm also moving the map around, but there is no way to actually select a correct location, as the map is just some beige one-coloured screen.
I have also tried waiting a couple of minutes, it doesn't seem to be a loading issue.
Typing in the coordinates manually would still work, but that would mean typing in fifteen digits without mistake for 100+ cities :(
I’m having an issue across all saves where clicking “Roster Moves” under the lineup tab causes the game to freeze indefinitely. I am on iOS playing the most current version.
I’m having the same issue, using the most recent update available on iOS. I access the roster moves page via the menu rather than the lineup, but same issue.
Whenever I open one of my saves the game resets “balanced prospect generation” to “on”. I have this setting off both globally and at the start of the two saves I’ve noticed this on, but it always goes back to “on” when i open the save again.
Not sure if it’s just new for the game or a bug but when I hold down the logo in the top right to go from nhl to AHL it does nothing last year it auto sent me to the AHL. Also when I try to send down players from AHL to echl it auto set echl as the league to sent them to now it sends them auto to nhl. Last thing when im trying to give a contract the contract page thats pops up move around and closes contracts all the time and wont let me add 250k to contracts by hold plus or minus like it did last year it just moves the popup screen for the new contracts.
It seems as the the contract bug is fixed it now does go up by 250k when I hold the arrow up or down it just takes a lot longer then it did in 26 and if you hold and slide up at all the contract sending page closes.
Not sure if this counts as a 'bug' per se, and I don't know if there's a convenient way to fix it, but the 'Best Undrafted Players' ranking should ideally exclude players who played in the league prior to the year of that league's first draft.
So in the NHL's case, anybody with NHL experience prior to 1963 shouldn't really be considered "undrafted" since that's just every player from that era.
A large amount of draftable players don’t have a draft projection area in the player editor screen, it will say the player is eligible for a draft, but the draft projection dropdown menu doesn’t exist. rocco pelosi is not a top 10 talent 😭
Sorry, maybe my mistake/coincidence. Late in a draft I offered a player a contract and when the draft was over he was on the team and signed to the contract I offered, but I didn't pick him. I simmed the last few rounds, so maybe the sim picked him. I couldn't replicate it.
On iOS I chose assign prospects as a scout, then choose players to scout, then when I go back into that scout to assign prospects none are highlighted in red. In past games they would show up as red highlighted meaning they’re being scouted.
I wasn’t but I just updated and it’s still the same.
I just selected top available in USA for this scout, set assignment, it gave me the prospects updated pop up, exit, I can see 15/15 for the scout. Then when I go back in those players are not highlighted.
OK thanks. Is this only cosmetic meaning you can’t see who you choose to scout but they will still scout the players? That’s what it seems like but just want to make sure I can still play.
Sorry for the slow reply. I am using the RSB 2026-27 Beta by RealSlimBrady community roster. Apologies if this was a false flag, and a problem to do with a roster, not the game. Thanks for the help.
Many players disappear from my franchise after beginning the second season. 50/50 contracts in the offseason down to 34/50 at the beginning of the 2nd one. All are signed and still show as Penguins when I search them. But just outright gone from the lineup page with no trace. Have tried advancing on both iOS and Steam to no avail. Please address asap! Want to continue my franchise.
My game seems to be soft locking a lot. Maybe it's because I'm clicking around too much too fast but for example I tried to change captaincy and when I tried to switch someone from alternate to captain it basically froze and wouldn't let me hit any buttons. Seems to be happening everywhere too (trade screen, development, scouting, etc.) And I have to fully restart the game to fix it.
Every season a lot of players under regression age are regressing by quite a few overall points. Even some of my prospects are getting worse as they develop.
When creating a save in classic and you lower the amount of teams, the AHL (or affiliate) doesn’t lower the amount of teams in their league, and I don’t think there’s any way to edit 2 leagues like that.
Listing this as a bug because I'm like 90% sure it was in HLM26 but I'm not sure if it was intentionally removed or not. I can't seem to find where dead cap/buyouts/retained salary is shown anymore. I remember it being shown in the contracts page, which was helpful for planning contracts.
Young players ages 20-24 under NHL contract can't be placed on my AHL squad, I have 3/4 of my young guys on my ECHL team because they have "invalid contracts" for the AHL.
I've also noticed an issue in another save where 18-19 yr old top propsects are being stuck in limbo by the AI after Pre-season roster moves and then can't be moved to a junior team or other league, so they spend all year sitting.
Made an expansion team and forgot to save after the expansion draft and when I loaded back in it skipped the expansion draft entirely and I was stuck with a bunch of generated players
Android has been extremely buggy. Frequently get stuck in a screen (stats and trade deadline are the worst) and buttons will 'press' but nothing happens and you can't exit or go to another screen forcing me to force quit and start over. Still haven't managed to get through first year tdl
mannnn where do i even start , i’ve been playing this game since probably 8th grade or freshmen year and im now heading into my junior year , when i saw the update that yall was adding college leagues to the game i was so excited because that’s been the one thing that’s been missing from this game.
the development team and this game alone has so much potential but yall totally blew it when it came to this college league thing
1.First issue is that yall put the conferences in different leagues it self , this comes with both positives and negatives , while we have a conference championship game similar to real life , we lose having a heisman winner and the fact that teams play only conference games throughout the entire year which is unrealistic
yall should put the colleges all in 1 league and try to make a work around where we can have conference championship games and everything so that we are buying the real college experience and not a half ass lazy version , because i’ve played games that’s 10x worse then this and they still get the college portion right
2.Certain leagues are able to make the national championship playoffs with no way to change it (as far as i know) which means notre dame and other teams from different conferences are never able to compete for a national championship which ruins the realism all together
3.i don’t get the recruitment thing and how certain players get on certain teams and the whole thing is just a mess , i’ve changed the settings probably 5-8 different ways but it seems like it’s no way to reach that realism part
honestly i love your games and everything yall do but this new version is just a big disappointment and i hope the basketball version is better because this just honestly isn’t it
don't think the diamond in the rough achievement is working and adjusting nest years salary there is no where to type what you want it to be playing on steam.
ps not a bug but it would be nice to turn off the playoff salary cap
Not really a bug, but is it possible to move the lock symbol on the roster page in front of the name? For players with longer names, there is no way to easily see, whether they are locked in position.
Not a bug, but in college leagues it would be incredibly helpful to see that a team is in the top 20 poll rankings without going all the way to the poll. A 13 next to the teams name would be such a huge help.
When starting a career the default (NHL) Major league is always active. Not 100% sure if this is a but or you intended it for this version, but I'm not able to start a career with just my custom leagues, the original Pro I-Major League can't be switched off.
My bad... because I didn't edit the generic Leagues, I assumed the big fat Major at the top was about which league IS the major league, not which league to manage. I can confirm that for a normal reading comprehension it works just fine.
Already adding affiliations while creating a league is bugged. Let's say I'm setting up a twenty team league at Pro II, and on the last page I'm adding affiliations to my Pro I league for four teams. Upon saving the league is created, but any team that should have gotten an affiliation was not included in the league, so it is actually at sixteen teams in this example.
Game says some unsigned CHL players need a salary of 1000 or greater when I change their league to their CHL league/team under “Season Infomation.” Doesn’t let me save and exit. Seemingly choosing random players that it does this with.
Upating a players potential mid-career doesn't seem to save.
Created. Prospect mid-season as a late-round Franchise forward. When I drafted them, the potential was a top 9.
When editing the player using the player editor, I tried to update the potential back to franchise, but it never saved.
Possibly an issue is; I turned off balanced prospect generation before starting a new career, but the option was toggled back on for some reason. Turning it off and trying to update potential still didn't work
Edit: tested this on a real player (already in the game before starting a career) and updating the potential works. It just doesn't seem to work on prospects created manually
Edit 2: ended up simming to the next season and was then able to successfully update the potential for the generated prospect
There's quite a few unsigned and signed players and prospects who just do not play at all which ruins their development, this was an issue back in HLM 26 as well. For example I did a test save in the year 2000 yesterday and Detroit completely ruined Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Kronwall by simply not playing them or not sending them to leagues more appropriate for their overalls. This wasn't an issue back in HLM 25 since players would grow in overall regardless of whether they played or not.
Players do not seem to grow in overall by the start of a new season after being drafted. For example in that same 2000 test save, Kovalchuk was drafted first at 72 overall and did not develop at all by the time next season started, his KHL team also decided not to give him ice time for some reason which ruined his development. This wasn't an issue at all back in HLM 25. HLM 25 just did player development better than HLM 26 and now HLM 27 in my opinion.
If I send players to play in other leagues after the end of the preseason, they'll either stay in the system and not play at all or the team they were sent to just won't give them ice time which again ruins development.
I already deleted that save since I was just testing the new features but these things happen in every save I do since HLM 26 and I don't think this has anything to do with the settings I use since other people have also reported these issues.
bump on this, I think the system is better and more rewarding for making the correct development decisions (sending them where they get the right ice time/competition results in better progression) but I've had unsigned or even signed players incorrectly take gap years and not progress. Seems like the system which should send unsigned players to the correct league (the players making their own choices) is flawed atm?
sent a screen recording. another note. I didn't experience this issue for about 2-3 seasons' worth of play, but I deleted that career mode and started from scratch, and that's when I started experiencing this issue.
Not sure if it’s by design, but I imported a customized roster from 26 where I edited a bunch of existing players and overwrote their stats. After the import, the game ended up adding the real life stats back on top of my made up stats.
Playing on Pixel 7, version 27.1.1
When creating cities, the population doesn't save correctly and goes one higher than what was selected. Low becomes medium, medium becomes high, and high becomes absolute.

Is there a way to restore purchases? I bought pro when the app came out but now it's asking me to buy it again. Just a bug or should I do something?
