As stated by Dave, I like to draft, trade, sign, resign etc. I just dont make unrealistic amounts of trades per year where it becomes far fetched.

I agree again Dave with turning a "real life" NHL starting off in a modern day into your own evolved league. I think expanding and contrasting and franchise relocation and everything of that nature would be extremely fun.

I am just having a hard time for some reason at this point in time getting sucked into this game. Playing/watching the games is very boring with no 2D engine or a large vocabulary of sentences to make the games feel unique... so I feel as if I am just simming a day, checking the box score, checking the emails, simming a day.

This is not a bash or criticism, I think the game is going to be one hell of a game after is polished and it grows I just cannot figure out whats causing me to not become as attached as I hoped or planned.
I'm in the same boat. I want to be obsessed with this game like I am with OOTP but so far its difficult. I manage my baseball games and that just keeps up all night to play. But with the Hockey I get confused with the game and the PbP isn't grabbing. Of course this is the first version and the first week of its existence so I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg. Unlike baseball, once the game starts, there isn't much to do. Football and Baseball,, there is always something for me to do. So far Baseball is the only one I have found. But I trust the OOTP developers and I'm sure in no time FHM will be the talk of the town!!
