Forgive me - this thread is ice cold - but I just got fmh 6 (hadn’t played since fmh 3, so thanks COVID for bringing us back together). Anyway, I’m having the same issue as OP. Trying to run a fictional league (24 teams with a minor league and the full 3-league CHL). I understand what was being said in the earlier posts, but that just doesn’t seem to hold water - either that or something else is broken.
At any rate, I’m on my third try at this and about to go back to fmh 3. Each time I run into the same phenomenon as the OP: the league is quickly inundated with 5-star talent. By year four or five my checking line is 5 stars across the board. No trades necessary - straight from the draft. And not just 5-star potential, they are 5-star actual - yep, 20+ of ‘em right out of junior hockey, every year. By year five, most teams are 75% full of 4 stars or higher.
At first I thought it might be the “% of talent from stats,” but that turned out not to be a factor, even after turning it to 0%.
Any insight here is appreciated. It’s a real downer getting attached to the players and teams just see all the realism go right out the window and starting over.
