Bravo to the Development team

[yarfangor]

I've been a strong advocate for FHM on Social Media (@J_Habs) and I recently downloaded the new patch to see how far they've come.

I was pleasantly surprised as my biggest gripe was with the trading/AI and player development.

After some legit tinkering and haggling with Sather I managed to pry Stepan, Kreider, Buchnevich & a 2nd away from the Rangers.

In return I gave up

David Desharnais
Magnus Nygren
Rene Bourque
Louis Leblanc
Francis Bouillon
Tim Bozon (7.5 Potential)
a 3rd round pick in 2014
Brady Vail
Aaron Hoyles (Not sure who this is)
Josiah Didier
and Dustin Walsh

While this may look like a fleece (and imo it's a great deal for me) I still feel that the AI was vastly improved in comparison to back in October.

I tinkered with what I felt was a fair deal and following the feedback of both my head scout & Sather I was able to pull off a deal that satisfied both sides.


So I feel as a whole these improvements will (and already have) improve my overall enjoyment of the game. +1 to everyone, you're on the right track and I feel this game is already leaps and bounds ahead of where it was on launch day.

I'm not sure if my sarcasm detector works correctly.

This is not a sarcastic post.

Great....things have gotten better. They are now at EHM level of trading....5 scrubs gets you a stud, and 4 scrubs and a mid level pick get you another stud. Should those two you know...actually be studs.

Definitely an improvement from 3 scrubs per stud.

So you make an outlandish trade to prove that the trading AI works correctly?

You trade away
- a 37-year old #5/6 defenseman without any playoff success
- a 31-year old inconsistent, frustrating player
- a 26-year old dime-a-dozen-player
- one good prospect
- a pile of crap

to a boarderline playoff team which has finally managed to re-build somewhat

and receive
- their best young NHLer
- one good prospect
- another good prospect

Add to that: You gain $4 million cap space!!

You honestly think that the AI made a good trade there?

Trading is still suboptimal and it´s waaaaay too easy to get everything you want without giving up too much

He was sarcastic when he said that his post was not sarcastic.
