And there's no current screen that shows where every team is cap wise all on the same page? The problem with not having a screen like that is that the person playing then has to go through each team one by one to see if how they are doing cap wise, for trade purposes. Just takes a lot longer to get the information that could be gotten in seconds with the cap hits of every time on one page. Minus a few issues like that i'm liking the game.

In the box score, what does GA and TA mean (not goals against...it was like 86 and 99).

Where can I see my team's draft picks? I found this one and can't find it now.

How can I view the upcoming draftees? I'd like to actually delete them and have the draft 100% fictional. Is this possible?

If I create a very young player to be available in the NHL Draft several years down the road, can I assign him to a Canadian midget team?

uknewyork · 09-29-2015, 12:41 AM

In fictional league ..

1. Can I edit player/personnel names, ratings etc?
2. Can I edit $$$ stuff?
3. How do I get a league to have promotion/relegation etc?

uknewyork · 09-29-2015, 12:44 AM

Oh, and when I start a fictional league its always August 15th, too late to change any rules (July 1st) ..

Sure, just make sure he's 15-16 years old for midget.

Thanks. I actually need to assign the player to a bantam team, I just can't find any bantam teams on the dropdown list on "current team" in the editor.

Cards>Cubs · 09-29-2015, 01:01 AM

Love the improvements from FHM 2014. Its crystal clear that a lot of effort has gone into making substantive changes and improvements and that makes me very happy. Love to see this game improve and grow from year to year.

On to my question.

Is there a compare player option?

Mike Lowe · 09-29-2015, 01:10 AM

Does anyone know where to delete the rookie draft pool? Trying to get rid of the real life draft eligible guys for a clean slate.

They're listed region-first, easiest way is to go to the globe icon on the Team/League menu, look up the 'bantam' league (on the second page), and find out the name of the one your guys fits in.

Does the game swap starts for the goalies ever? I simmed 9 games through and my starter played all of them.

Yup, depends to some extent on his stamina and the pacing of the schedule, if he tires out from a lot of games close together the backup's more likely to come in to give him a rest.

Ok great thanks!

I don't have the option to save my game as a QuickStart.

When I got to the Game menu and select Save Game As (as the manual says I should for a QuickStart) there is no option to save it as that. I just get to put in a save name (just like if I go to the regular save option as opposed to save game as....

Any idea why this is?

If you've already advanced the date in the game, you won't get the save as quickstart button - it has to be right at the beginning for the quickstart to be created properly (since it's the starting point for a new game.)

Ah, so you can't go ahead a year to right before the Expansion Draft and create a Quick Start?

Is it possible to add in modded logos and sweaters without a quick start?

jwr38 · 09-29-2015, 01:58 AM

why do I start off as such a bad coach? When comparing with every other coach in the NHL .... I'm nothing better than a minor league coach/GM. My ratings are really bad and don't meet my team at all (I'm very defensive and like physical games ... not the pens style at all)

Quick starts as far as I know need to be created right at league creation.

That being said it might be a good option for people to be able to start right at expansion for those who don't want to sim through first.

Yes, you can add in modded logos and sweaters without a quick start...

Navigate yourself to the following location:

C:\Users\Your Name\Documents\Out of the Park Developments\Franchise Hockey Manager 2\saved_games\LEAGUENAME.lg\graphics

So this is unique for every league, whatever your .lg folder is named. Then you have a graphics folder and in that you will see different subfolders for all the different types of files.. Once you start your game all these subfolder will be created.. So go in and take the files you want and replace and overwrite the generic ones and you'll have your logos or jerseys.

Two questions

A) do teams have rookie camps before their main camp starts?

B) this is a big one for me when doing dynasty's.. Now I know fm15 is different then ootp products and in fm15 we just hit f12 and steam takes a screenshot of our s teen is there a setup like that where we press f12 for a screenshot or is it old school where we have to hit print screen go into paint paste it and then save the picture?
