Does that mean he won't show up as a player? Can I assume his playing career was already over when I started the league in 1967?

No, Staff is a different Database.

Any idea on how to get the Kraken uniforms working? It showed up automatically for some players but now everyone is rocking plain gray uniforms with no logo.

Try deleting everything in the \graphics\player_pics folder. That'll force the game to re-generate the pictures, which usually fixes the grey uniform thing.

For the first time, I've got eliminated in the first round and none of my players got sent to the World Championships. I have a couple 5 star rated players and 2 or 3 4's so they would be worthy of going. This is a new save, and my first with the newer updates, did something change?

Scoring level on WCH and WCH U20 is crazy. Very very oft there are games that ends 9:0, 10:0... On the WCH U20 in games like Canada vs Latvia i can understand that. But on the senior level it is too much.

Is there any option to reduce that?

Yeah unfortunately this inflates a lot the stats for the top players, you regularly see players hitting 30 points in a single WC season

Is there a way to reduce the back to back games that are played. Since I went to 32 teams in the league, there are a lot more back to back games. I counted 20 back to back games for my team last year, which is just about HALF the schedule. That's a little bit high. I haven't watched it until the last season, but since I added a team, my starting goalie is getting less starts, and I have the back to back setting for goalies to 4, so he won't play back to back games. The backup hasn't changed in years nor has the coach. The only thing it can be is the schedule.

You're going to see more back-to-backs in the AI schedule because it's making sure games are played in the time frame so they don't mess up other worldly events (like the World Championships for instance). Although we don't know what the future holds, back to backs is something that is more on the table for the NHL, and the average team I believe had 15 last year with the top teams being 18 I think.

- If you don't like the schedule, re-roll it. You can do this in the league edit.
- Consider changing the amount of games in a season back to 80, 78 or even 76. You may get different results as well.

Is there a way to create my own schedule and put it into the game?

Also, another question which has nothing to do with the first... why do players reject a contract when you forget to ask for their response, even though you offered them what they were asking? I had a minor leaguer who was just getting ready to come to the bigs. He asked for 1.28 million for 2 years. I hit meet demand, then accidentally hit submit offer. He declined now he won't negotiate with me. It's sorta silly.

No.


And because a player likes a back and forth. They may have liked the offer, but not the roles your forecasted them for instance. Just make sure to qualify them and when July rolls around you'll be able to discuss with them again.

Appreciate you are still supporting FHM 6, but any idea as to when we can expect some more news on FHM 7?

No ETA yet.

Is this kind of thing tracked anywhere as a record in the game? I don't see it in the History section.

This is back to back months, at the beginning of the season, of a dynasty I am playing and posting in the dynasty forum. 11 back to backs in 2 months. That's 22 games that are part of a back to back out of 28 games played. It has nothing to do with rerolling, this should not even be possible. Now, look carefully at the schedule, easily 10 of the 11 back to backs weren't necessary. While I agree it adds some strategy to have some back to back games, I think 78%+ of your games being part of back to backs is a little bit too high. If you say the average was 15 back to backs in the NHL schedule last year, I'll believe that. That's 30 out of 82 games, or about 36%. If you get it where it's near 36%, and not more than DOUBLE that number (78%), I'd understand.

Simply, the scheduling algorithm needs to be worked on.

You're taking 2 months of a schedule and using it across the entirety of the year. I have never seen a game that has had 78% of the schedule as back-to-backs. Look at the rest of the schedule. Are you at 78% of all your games are back to back? Because I have never seen that in any of the Hundreds of seasons I have run.

If it is, post in the bug forum and upload the save. We'd like to see it.

Is there a list of tie breakers in regards to standings to determine higher seeding?
aka assuming equal points
1. Fewer games played
2. Regulation or overtime wins.
3. Goal differential etc. etc.

Not at the moment, but we really should expand the leaderboards a bit, since we're tracking lots of stuff that isn't included there. I'll see if we can get it into 7.

It's league/tournament-specific. For the NHL, the first two above are correct, but then the head-to-head record goes before goal differential.
