Tried fictional game. My impressions:
Some of the screens are a major improvement over FHM1, but there is still room for improvement. Plenty of wasted space on many screens (especially in standings page). I tried windowed mode and there are some areas where things are cut off, but still somewhat visible.
Finally, teams will lift the goalie when trailing late in a close game! Yes, I believe the game engine is a major improvement.
I expanded after the first season and there were only 8 total players taken in the expansion draft. The rosters of the expansion teams were filled out by free agents. Both teams were absolutely dreadful (28 & 29 points respectively).
Did not see where you can pick the amount of teams that make the playoffs. I searched everywhere on July 1st, but found nothing. Is the 16 team playoffs hard coded? Same with number of draft rounds. It appears that 7 is also hard coded.
I haven't tried being a GM or coach yet. That will be for another time.
