Swedish Hockey League and other European leagues

[Peter-]

Hello!
How is the Swedish Hockey League, Hockeyallsvenskan and so on in the game? Does anyone coach a Swedish team? Thinking about how signings happen and if it's realistic, how the teams' finances are, the players' salaries, the players' attributes and how realistic it is in general nowadays in FHM? I remember a few years ago when I tried coaching Luleå Hockey in the Swedish Hockey League and then it felt like the FHM team didn't focus so much on the Swedish leagues and leagues outside the NHL in general. Hope there have been changes there because then I would buy the game right away

Hi Peter.

played with MoDo Hockey in Allsvenskan and Linköping (in a Journeyman save) in SHL. My experience is based on FHM9, in FHM10 is was only in DEL and NHL teams so far.
I´m a german SHL-Hockey-Follower, but for sure not in depth knowledge as you have.

My impression:
- player ratings and salaries are ok (and in balance with rest of the european leagues), of course there could be some salaries a bit off but the research team gives it´s best ;-)

- in league team strenghts are ok and model real life pretty good in the first years (haven´t played further then 2030 in sweden in my saves).

- flow of players are ok from/to other european leagues

- flow from North American players to europe or north american players already in europe willing to stay in european teams got better in FHM10 (from DEL perspective). Now much more low-level-NHL´lers and AHL/ECHL Players are willing to sign in europe. FA already playing in europe tend to stay and not move home to NA-beer-leagues after one year.

- leagues rules (promotion / relegation) are ok

some things to know:
- NHL teams can sign prospects and good players very late in the season.
Happend to me with MoDo, I lost 2 youngster (they got signed late in september) and 2 new signed players from NA back to the NHL on start date of regular season...
I think (but not an expert, in germany there aren´t not so many NHL youngsters ;-) ) the official signing window for NHL teams isn´t reflected correct at the moment.

- signing young players in leagues with U-player limits (not SHL/Allsvenskan) is a bit chaotic at the moment as 20 year old players tend to avoid minor-option/two way in their contracts and you couldn´t sign them (it´s already reported in Bug section, hope it gets fixed with next update in mid march)

Overall: I think the game made good progress during the last versions and is fun to play in european leagues. Of course there are some things to work on and potentially some data to correct but it does a good job from my point of view.

One question:
Real team logos and player faces for Swedish Hockey League, Hockeyallsvenskan and European teams overall, are they in this game?

nej, men det finns moddar som lägger till loggorna.

Jo såg nu att det finns lite av varje men ingen uppdaterad version för 2023/2024. Okej kan man använda dom till sitt egna game då eller? Är det fler logos än SHL? Inga facepacks?

Jag håller på och skapa en shl onlineliga i fhm 10 med dem riktiga loggorna och sånt, du kan ju dm'a mig ifall det låter intersant.

Finns ett logo pack som inkluderar shl, hockeyallsvenskan, hockeyettan och mycket mer. Men som du sa så är det inte uppdaterat för 2023/2024 bland annat så har förlunda sin gammla loga men det är bättre än inget.

Tror tyvärr att det inte finns något facepack för shl än

Ah okej förstår Jo men precis, förhoppningsvis kommer det ett snart Kör du en save med något SHL-lag och har du spelat mycket på FHM10? Tänkte om du kan ge en bedömning hur realistiskt allt är då man coachar ett SHL-lag Beskriv gärna lite, vore tacksamt Allt från att göra värvningar till hur träningen och taktiken i spelet är
