question I have

[snarls200]

1) can you move teams between leagues like in OOTP

2) Is text scaling better now?

[Savoie45]

1. You can import teams, but don't think you can just move teams.
2.Pretty sure it's the same. I've never had any issues with the text scaling.

No need for me to start a new thread... questions I have also.. 1. are the goalie inconsistencies.. aka AI start percentages fixed...2.. is there away to not have custom graphics over written when an update is installed..3 I'm into making expansion teams... is it possible to have more schedule options...

[Savoie45]

I would wait until the stream next week when Jeff actually goes into the game and gives us a deeper look.

The goalie start percentages were fixed in FHM10 weren't they? Towards the latter half of the game cycle Jeff implemented some new more stringent logic to iron that out - as far as I have seen from my games and from multiple reports at the time for people - that ironed out those issues. If you were still seeing those then it's probably worth making a report on the tech support forum with screenshots/examples etc so they can take a look. You can read other users testimony on that here, from page 2 onwards people report post fix that things improved greatly - https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...=350336&page=2

In terms of how to stop your graphics from being overwritten - don't store it in the quickstart folders, those will always be overwritten when a new patch is released, it's just how that works. Your other two options are

A) Store the graphics in each unique save you create, this can be costly if you have a lot of saves going because they are each a full copy of all the graphics you have.

B) I have created two 'master' graphics folders for FHM, one for Historical and one for Modern which I keep on my desktop - this is where I do all of my updates to graphics that I want to use with my games. I've created a tiny batch script that you can run by double clicking on it and selecting one of your saves, it will then create a Symlink between the save you have selected and your master graphics folders - essentially it pulls all of the graphics from your master folders on your desktop, without you having to actually store them in the same directory as the save game, like you would usually.

I did create a short written tutorial (with pictures) on how to implement this that I shared with a couple of guys on the Discord, if that's something you'd be interested in I'd be happy to share it. Using that method really made a difference when it came to managing my graphics with FHM as the constant overwriting was frustrating but cannot be prevented. A universal graphics folder provided by the game is still on my wishlist - maybe one day!

A couple of questions I have:

A) in historical do you have u17, u18 etc for world juniors?

B) how do you stop a team from moving? Say for example Hamilton bulldogs history goes away to Laval, Atlanta to Winnipeg etc? Want to play as Hamilton bulldogs back in 1996 and I get that Montreal got Laval but is there a way to keep Hamilton history and move the bulldogs to another NHL that way keep them in AHL and not move them to OHL in 2014/2015?

A. Not that I’m aware of.

B. Should be a box when you set it up that you can uncheck to keep the league as is. Also a box to allow or disallow expansions.

[Castleview]

I'm curious to know what happens under B if you uncheck the 'teams disappear when they did
historically' button. Do Hamilton then remain Montreal's AHL affiliate forever, or
do they eventually just become an independent AHL team forever? I don't think there's
currently anyway to reconnect them to another NHL team (which would be useful).

Edit: You could also uncheck 'teams appear when they did historically' , so Laval would never
show up in that case.

[Sabres2000]

Will the new features work with a fhm10 save.. like any ground breaking features in fhm11 that someone should wait until Friday to start a new save or is fhm11 good enough besides roster update to use a fhm10 save and just import it?

[northjersey]

i'm curious if the 4 nations tournament will be enabled in existing (FHM10) saves, or only in new saves. I mean, if we're using the actual NHL 2024-25 season the calendar dates will be available for the tournament


also crossing my fingers that we will have the ability to edit your team lines when in GM only mode (current replace mode changes were overwritten by AI lines when playing your next team game)

Question for the devs…

If say you start in historic season 2000 how many of the drafts between 2000-2024 are the real draft classes in the game 2000-2013?

All of them.
