The "I'm Enjoying the Game" Thread

Despite the tweaks needed, despite the odd bug and the sometimes annoying GUI .... I am enjoying the heck out of FHM so far.

Is it as robust as the final version of EHM2007? Not quite
Is it perfect? Nope, it ain't

There is definitely a huge mountain of potential and I'm sure given time and our patience this will be the hockey management sim bar none.

Wish list of fixes:

- better home/away balance ... ie Home team advantage is too huge atm
- Canadian Junior rights enforced, and players sent down actually play
- Better understanding of player developement (ie color coding for a stat improving)
- better representation of grinders/tough guys and the increased penalty minutes they incur
- better defenceman scoring
- more balanaced player scoring between goals and assists ... (the Rocket got 72g8a for me in a season, nuff said)
- better GUI, sorting that sticks, better filters, better player search
- improved scouting WITH scouting reports detailing players personality

Apparently I'm alone in a sea of discontent :P

Looking forward to the developers to get they're crap together and sort out the way the tough guys and PIM accumilation occurs. Hockey is a physical sport, having your star players fighting more than they would in they're entire careers is becoming stale....

Having all of your tough guys scratched and sent to the farm to die is also stale.
Writing post's every patch and reading false hopes on the way tough guys function and they still have not sorted this long drawn out problem is also stale. I still hold hope they get the issue sorted out and I'm happy they're are abundance of folks like yourself who value "toughness" in hockey!
