We over www.NBHL.info have a league going into season 2021 in EHM 05 and have been actively discussing many options available but keep your eyes open for a league to form from this core.

We are very much hoping that because the game will be import/export that there is no maximum number of GMs that can play in which case we have been floating the idea of sort of a MMO of FHM of sorts. Where there are different levels that you can play in if you want to be NHL, KHL or CHL the game will hopefully support that. There are a few ideas floating around, but there will be a league created from this group it may just be a classic league of 30 NHL GM's. We'll have to wait and see what kind of online features the game supports.

I wouldn't be surprised to see EHMtheblueline also launch a league of their own much like the DMNHL which is an established EHM league.

It is my understanding that the game will run a basic online support where the league file is exported online after the commissioner advances. Once they export the league you download the file and log in to your team with your password and make any adjustments (trades, line changes, scouting, free agent offers) and then you import the file back to the Commish. Ideally this can all be done from in game without having to actually going to the site. It would be very easy to do just have the option to load game from URL. Enter the URL that the game is uploaded to and then you have the ability to download and upload the game all from within the GUI itself.

EHM Online works a little differently and in the future I am hoping to see FHM move towards this route. EHM Online has a dedicated server in which the commish or host have the game up and signed in 24/7. All other GMs are "on vacation" or set to away until they sign into the server via IP and which case they take control of their team. There are some added benefits to this version such as live sims and on the fly changes, but has limitations like max GMs due to server stability (EHM 05 - 30 and EHM 07 - 15)

I was ecstatic to hear there would be a form of online support in FHM 1.0 and it will definitely boost the sales a bit, my biggest question is how will the leagues transfer from one version to another cause nobody wants to waste a year if the league won't transfer to version 2 in a year or so.
