What was so wrong with the old system that it necessitates a rollback of the highlights version while the new process is determined? Honest question, not trying to be rude.

One of the things that I've been trying to do is get everybody on the same procedure. There's a lot of idiosyncrasies in the streams right now, and some of it has lead to process errors. It's also a concern that we'd like to have everybody on the same page when we start shuffling schedules around and trying out different stuff.

The whole problem with FHM live views is that the highlight modes are glitchy. It shows a lot of goals repeatedly or focuses on the same icing call or what-have-you. The only two views that don't have these issues are Goals Only (which the goalies rightfully hated) and Full Game View. Full Game View is great; it feels like a hockey game, and leaves a great entry point for voice-over commentary. The issue is that the games are so long that it affects the numbers that go into setting our schedule. Couple it with every sim problem you can think of from this year, and all of the other pieces of the league that stand to be affected, and it was heavily advised that we reset and regroup before throwing the switch.

As a personal aside, it's my job as Sim Head, and I take full responsibility for how it's been drawn out. Back in January, I expected to be at this point by June. Frankly, the failure to meet that expectation has me pissed off and disappointed. It's been a busy and traumatic year, and it's still going on theme. It may take a while, but we will get there.
