FHM 10 Progress Questions for devs?

zergforums · 04-20-2024, 09:23 AM

Hi there,

I bought FHM when the very 1st one was released, but after playing it I never bought another one since and went back to EHM.

I have a couple of questions if anyone can answer them please.

Are the UK leagues up to date and do you have a dedicated researcher for the UK Elite League and lower leagues player stats?

Are there enforcers, tough guys, fights, bench clearances, intense rivalrys and injurys from enforcer dirty plays like there was in EHM?

I am a complete ice hockey fan, in the UK Elite League we have enforcers, tough guys, skilled play, it is becoming like how the old NHL used to be.

Many thanks.

Well i guess i will stick with EHM and the community roster and update patches as no one replied to me in over 1 week.

I guess the devs have abandoned this game?

While no one has replied to your questions, the devs so have abandoned the game that the fourth update to FHM 10 has been released less than 10 days ago...

So why would they not want to talk with their community like EHM devs used to?

Maybe you can help me?

For example does my question happen in the NHL on FHM10?

I would love to find a reason to try this game again.

I understand your frustration, and I can't reply to you because I have frankly close to zero knowledge about UK leagues so I have really no idea. However, you should also understand that not replying to a forum post isn't the same thing as abandoning a game - each iteration of FHM gets updates for six to seven months...with FHM 10 being no exception, with four updates released, with data updates, content updates, and bug fixes.

As far as I know, the English leagues are fairly up to date. There is someone who is doing the research on them, but I can't promise it is 100% accurate. However, it usually is.

We do are our best to replicate leagues as they are in real life, so some of what you're looking for should be there. Is their bench clearing brawls? No. But some of the other stuff? Yes.

We welcome feedback, but understand it's not always easy to reply to every post as well. Even though I'm not a dev, I do know they are always reading and watching things even if we don't always reply.

If FHM1 was your first and only version I think I can saftly say that FHM 10 is a different game.

Regarding England: we have the Elite Ice Hockey League and Plant Ice NIHL National Division playable + D1 and D2 as non-playable. We don´t have a dedicated researcher for UK but Researcher in general, so I guess the leagues are up to date (but I´m no expert for UK Hockey). Player stats should be there.

We have enforcers and fights but no bench clearances or dirty plays.

We have the game on sale from time to time so maybe wait for one of that sales and then take a look?

Edit: Adam typed faster than me.

May i ask why you would not have dirty plays or bench clearances?

Many leagues have at least 1 bench clearance per season or pre season.

Also dirty play is a big thing in many leagues?

Will this be added to any of the new FHM11?
