Front Office Football Seven, Verison 7.0b (March 12, 2014)

- Minor change for leadership reporting involving unsigned players.

- Add function for exporting team-specific staff scouting of player attributes (note: it is our recommendation that leagues should not share this information between owners).

- Changes to how FOF looks for files, hopefully preventing the rare case where the player is never asked for the location of a generated player file or game plan when those functions are requested.

- Additional visual support for FOF7 within Metro and Windows 8.1.

- Fix for assigned fourth-year salaries for first-round picks.

- Separate team_yearly_information export from team_information export.

Installing now. The one thing that jumped out at me from the Steam Video was that there's a new button that looks like it exports your own staff's scouting impression. I'm assuming that if Wheels is able to code Conscriptor to accept that export, it'll replace having to do an Extractor run to see bars in Conscriptor. You'd be able to just export your own team's scouting view and import it into Conscriptor.

Great news !

Great News, I voted...

[Dirkki]

Can you install this update and still continue your career or does it affect careers?

[Ben E Lou]

I don't recall Jim ever sending out an update where you couldn't continue your career. I ran sims on three leagues this morning using this patch.

You can not vote unless you have made a Stream purchase.

Of course that means I can't vote since only this title would make me purchase from Stream.

Would be interesting to know what changed between 7.0a and 7.0b.

[Julio Riddols]

I only regret that I cannot vote this up more than once.

[antdroid]

good find! i just added my vote.

I'm a little surprised Jim didn't post screenshots that showed current day players -- that might be appealing to new people to the game or the genre in general.

[Pyser]

maybe this should be cross posted. it's sad neither of these fairly big deals is getting any notice.

interested to see the 7.0b changes. couldnt vote at steam because ive never bought anything.

- Minor change for leadership reporting involving unsigned players.

Does this mean unsigned guys are no longer shown as leaders? That would be awesome.

God, I hope so.

How is everyone using the export personal scouting data file? What request does it answer to? By itself it seems useless due to the fact players are identified by number and teams are not listed

This is supposed to be fed right into a draft utility, which presumably has a database populated by player_id.

i.e, you upload this file to the draft utility instead of uploading an extractor CSV.

The draft utility probably has to be coded first to handle this new format.

LCB/RCB pictures were fixed. Glad that was done.
