Not exactly - I've got it set to hand out 1-game suspensions for fights in the Q right now, and lowered the fighting frequency by about 1/3. I think we're going to have to do some work on the fighting rules in the game, there are a few leagues now where the way we handle fighting right now doesn't match the real world very well.

Would be happy to help make sure they’re up to date, anyway that I can, before release day.

Just checked the numbers, looks like the only one I haven't got right now is Chelios, I'll get that one in. I did a pass through the rivalries earlier this summer, I'll have one more look this week.

Yeah, the individual team average attendance can be edited.

Thanks for the answer! Do you think that its something that will be added in a future patch or something that might be for FHM 11?

Questions to JeffR:
Have you this year focused more on getting the European leagues (such as Swedish Hockey League, Hockeyallsvenskan and maybe Hockeyettan) to have realistic and updated lineups, player attributes, team finances, correct league rules, player transfers and player purchases to work correctly and so on? I only like to play and manage an SHL-club so it would be so nice if you guys have focused on this in FHM 10

I'll be keeping the rosters updated as the season progresses and sharing the save once per month.

On custom leagues, is something like historical drafts in modern games possible?

For example, if I start in 23-24, can I use the 1990 draft class as the 2024 draft class? Or even have random historical players as the draft class? These are things I enjoy doing in NBA 2K and basketball-gm so its not random players a few years in and wondering if it's possible in FHM.

Don't believe so. I think the only way to include historical players is through Random Debut.

No need for it in FHM11... that rule won't exist anymore next year when the LHJMQ will realized how few of the league players will be draft next summer and how the WHL and OHL teams will kick their ass at the next Memorial Cup tournament.

I'm with you on that one. Being from Northern New-Brunswick, the Acadie-Bathurst Titan rink is about a one hour drive from where I live but it's been 10 years since I've been to a game because of the lack of rivalries and emotion.

The one-fight rule I would love to see in the game is actually for my own custom league that I do every year with our local league. It has a one fight then ejection rule and having that in the game would make my custom league more realistic and the enforcers would have realistic fights numbers. Some guys were fighting four times a game in FHM 9.

From what I've seen, looks like I'll be passing again this year or wait for the Steam Winter sale in late December which will probably knock it 33% off. Haven't upgraded since 8 after buying 4 through 8. Feel like it needs some UI work which I haven't seen like copying lineup functionality from the OOTP series like being able to filter by position in both pregame lineup screen and normal editing lines screen.

Appears to be no HTML, which I didn't expect since OOTP has said it's a pain. So we are stuck with csv but doesn't appear to be a csv to html editor. Still stuck on using mods to try and convert them.

rudel.dietrich · 11-03-2023, 10:58 AM

This will be my first year purchasing.

I have not had a hockey game in a very long time, so I am looking forward to this.

What are you trying to display in HTML?

It could be for an online league page.

Of course, I'd just meant what information in particular - a standings table? Player information? etc etc

This is a stupid take

Box score, stats, standings, anything to spice up dynasty tracking other then the ingame screens. I found a CSV to html converter that works is no longer updated so no additional stats or anything is updated.

Ah okay, so it's for a single player save. Are you using the old CSV reader app that used to circulate on this forum? I've not got experience with that. Presuming whatever you're using just outputs it into HTML table format, there's no CSS or graphical element implemented in the process is there? It's just converting the raw data?

hey JeffR/Adam

I know WHL had these in the past and i know you added them to the game this year... in the past WHL teams could do prospect tournaments before their camp is that still a thing for this years game or are those just for NHL teams?
