Can players physically grow? I think I've just noticed two of my prospects in the Training Camp Development Report appear taller. One appeared to go from 5'9 and the other from 5'8" to 5'10" over the summer.

They do, yes, particularly the very youngest guys. Height has an age-based chance of increasing, eventually reaching 0% chance by the end of the teens, and weight will tend to increase to "fill out" the player to a normal range of height-weight ratios, as well as a small increase when he gets a Strength rating gain.

Stellar stuff! Thank-you.

Hello!

Thanks for a very good and well developed game. Looking forward to the future with FHM7.

Have question regarding scout reports. Specifically the "Personality" part of it. Some players do not have anything assigned to them in that part of the report. How should interpret that?

Thanks in advance!

Mid-range ratings that aren't remarkable enough in either direction for the scout to comment on.

How do you draw penalties? Do you have to have an Agitator somewhere? With my philosophy I'd prefer not to run one.

My team is dead last in PIMs which is good, but also dead last in power play chances which is not so good. Does a non-aggressive style of play decrease the likelihood of drawing penalties too?

Ability and Potential star ratings no longer appear in my game on the main roster menu. It is progressively driving me more bonkers.

How can I make them come back?

Thank You

PEwannabe · 07-07-2020, 08:40 PM

Ha, I figured it out.

Current Skin change made them come back.

WIll FHM7 be released as usual in Oct, or will it be delayed because of the NHL moving it's new season to December?

We have not even officially announced FHM7, so no decision has been made yet.

Hi guys.
What are my options after negociations with my 22 years old RFA tender fell apart, like hes in an angry mood and refuse every contract offer?

Make sure he's tendered before July 1st (even offer it again in June). He'll likely be in a better mood in the summer or take some time to change. At worst, he signs an offer sheet and you can match it or take the compensation.

I am in the ECHL and keep getting goalies sent to me from AHL and NHL. Currently I have too many players on roster because I am carrying 6 goalies that I do not want. How do I fix so I can have skaters to fill out at a roster?

Sounds like something odd is going on with the AHL team's roster logic or they had a strange situation (maybe multiple goalie injuries) that forced them to sign several goalies. The simplest solution is just to edit (in commissioner mode) the AHL-contracted goalies to free agency; with those guys not around the NHL team's AI should manage the overall situation better.

You have 9D and only 11 Forwards. You'll need 8/12.

Wonderful it works. Thank you for the fast response !

How do I give a player a tryout? When can I do it? It's preseason still, end of August, and I want to bring in some unknown free agents to give them a look.

It's available at the beginning of the preseason (the exact date that starts will be listed in the Events list on the league menu) by right-clicking on an eligible player - not anyone whose rights are owned by another team in the league, not in college, not on loan somewhere else, etc. And you need to be playing as an NHL team (or the top-level league if it's a custom game, it's only available to them right now.

Just out of curiosity why there are no real players in draft (no Lafrenierre, Stuzle) in historical mode once when you reach "present" season ? Is it supposed to be like that or ?
