Import Leagues in Custom Games

[boscoJJ]

According to the Trailer for FHM10, there are several limits in importing Leagues in the custom games, but some words are blocked.
would some devs be able to talk about the limits?

The main thing: you'll have to set up the playoff system yourself.for imported leagues; many of the playable leagues have special hardcoded systems that could never be imported, and the nonplayable leagues don't have any kind of playoff system attached. That would have only left a few leagues with importable playoffs, and adding them to the import process would've been really time-consuming, so we left it out for now.

Some other team data isn't imported:
-any rivalries with teams not in the same league
-all team history data
-any cap hit penalties
-parent teams (the parent/farm data is always stored with the farm team, so this means if you e.g. import the NHL and then the AHL, you'll need to reset all the affiliations)
-the schedule (it'll be re-generated)

Players included in the imported leagues will only be those currently contracted to the team.

Does this mean that Free Agents won't be imported? I assume that any import still has to take place on July 1st as in the past. There are many top players that are free agents at that time.

This looks like a tremendously fun aspect. I can see myself running a lot of historic simulations.

I wonder if this would work... You import leagues for those who play major juniors and then you could potenial create BCHL and such if u really thought about it...
