We've just released a hotfix update for FHM2, version 2.8.63, to correct some small issues with the previous update. The correct seeding and home advantages should now be applied in later rounds of the current NHL playoffs and in some historical seasons where it wasn't using the correct format; additionally, historical budgets have been adjust in the late Original 6 - early expansion eras so teams should now have enough money to sign a full roster and a reasonable number of reserves, which should prevent issues with too many good young players not getting signed.

Your existing savegames will be compatible with the updated game, but any fixes involving the database updates in the update will require a new start to be fully effective, and some of the update's fixes may not retroactively correct certain problems in existing saves.
