UHS Build 15519 – April 24 2019
The plan for this build was to release an in-system method for handling league All-Star Voting. At the time of this release I’d say I’m about half-way done. It’s taken nearly 4 months to get to this point, which is far too long since the last build was released.

Unfortunately, this is directly a result of my health degrading rapidly since January. For those that know, I have had ALS for some 20+ years; fortunately it was very SLOW in progression. For some reason, that has sped up dramatically and has affected the use of my hands. I can still code and type, however, I’m fumbling a LOT; lots of typos, grammar and syntax errors simply due to fatigue and hand responsiveness. I will be looking into some voice to text options, however, my stutter may be a hinderance in this area.

Going forward, the focus for UHS will primarily be maintenance and small / quick developments. I don’t believe its fair to proceed business as usual when it is clearly not. It is certainly possible for the progression to slow again, in which time I will re-evaluate my ability to add new developments for the simulator.

I will be doing a review of all current UHS Development / Wishlist Items and either remove them from the list or mark them as “Long-term”: It’s an item I would like to do but the scope of it is very large so it likely wouldn’t be done anytime soon, in most cases it’ll be buried when compared against short-term items.

Our Facebook page will be “closed” in that this will be the last post there. All future communications will be through Discord and blog posts on our site, with an occasional tweet here and there.

I appreciate all the testing, feedback, and passion you have all brought to the table. It has kept me going for years. I never would have imagined that UHS would have progressed to this point back when I first started coding it in 2003. Thank you all so much.

Download All Players
A new Download All Players button will show up for COMs+ in the Manage > Players list. This will allow you to download all players to a CSV file with the following information: PlayerID, Jersey, FirstName, LastName, Position, Hand, Age, Height, Weight, Country, Salary, Contract, AG, QK, PW, FA, IJ, PN, SK, PS, PC, CH, SH, Total, Chem, FI.
