Minor errors in SHL(and other complaints)

Sebbiezation · 11-10-2023, 07:19 AM

All SHL teams seem to have farm teams in Hockeyettan

Kvalserien(Qualification to SHL) is still named "SEL/ALL" with SEL being the old name of SHL

It would also be great if there was some kind of notification of when an NHL team takes interest in one of your players cause having NHL snag up 3-5 players each season a week before the SHL season starts is very infuriating.

AI also seem to get dibs on signing players who gives up their interest in NHL making signing big free agents impossible cause the AI will have taken them all before you even get a chance to offer them a contract.

They sign the day that the AI offers them a contract but the AI will offer the contracts before you get a chance

It happens in real life too, but it's expected. Every September the prospects get called up to NHL training camps just as the season is starting. They could be returned in Sept/Oct or they could get signed and never come back.

I dont mean prospects going for camp, I mean I sign a free agent in the pre-season and cause SHL starts earlier than NHL, they usually get signed 1 week before season start so pretty much every single season, I stand without 2-3 players and a goalie and there's NO warning before it happens.

I should be warned 1-2 weeks ahead of time that an NHL team has taken interest in one of my players giving me a chance to start looking for a replacement

Yes, I remeber those situations also from past FHM games while palying high European leagues. Trying to get some big fish from Free agents and about week before season starts he signs with NHL and leave me without my planned key player(s).

In real world there is also option with most players (at least top players) that play in European Leagues (Or at least in Liiga) that they can sign NHL or sometimes KHL or sometimes SHL/NLA contract while contracted. So this is also happening in real world. So I don't know if that is so big problem or it is realism? Don't know how fast in real life teams get notified that their player is leaving though.

It can come by surprise. Usually player agent should inform team ASAP and then there is only negotiations, so few days at max.
Didn't K-Espoo lose Strömberg to Allsvenskan almost right after he signed Mestis contract in this season?

But, FHM is a game after all and there should be more of leeway

Just fixed the SEL thing, it still had the old abbreviation in the name listing in the data.

The issue I have is that you're not warned before it happens, they just sign overnight and now your first line is gone with 0 warning. Just let me know an NHL team has taken interest in them to give me time to look for a replacement
