2. I have expanded my league from 8 to 16 teams so far but I want to add more teams to the playoffs so that 8 instead of 4 teams qualify and also make two conferences instead of just one. Is there a way I do those things?

1. If you just want to use a new stock logos, you can find them all in the following directory (assuming PC)

Documents\Out of the Park Developments\Franchise Hockey Manager 2\logo_templates

Find the one you want, make a copy of it named whatever the team name is (ex. Detroit Superstars)

And then put that file in this folder and overwrite the existing one:

Documents\Out of the Park Developments\Franchise Hockey Manager 2\saved_games\LeagueName.lg\graphics\logo_teams

2. The league structures aren't able to be changed once you start a game and the playoff structures remain the same too.

Do you need to start with 21 teams or more to have 16 teams qualify for the playoffs?

Can you guys make it so the transaction screen goes in order with the most recent transactions at the top?

jinkorjap · 10-01-2015, 03:00 PM

where is the league transactions page? also, is there an in-game link to the manual somewhere?

They can be selected in the expansion draft if left unprotected and the team that drafts them must honor those clauses at that point.

That's only possible in an online league. If you start a game with only one human manager it's not possible to add additional human managers.

There was an increased focus put on stability in the fictional mode this year. With more league structure options and customizability, there's more chance for something to break or bugs to crop up. So the idea was to create a solid fictional mode that would be stable and then hopefully in the future be able to build upon that.

I'm not sure off the top of my head and I don't currently have the game in front of me to test all the different configs. But I don't think so. For example, I believe with 18 teams you will have 16 go to the playoffs as well, as that structure is modeled after the QMJHL.

There's a league-wide free agency signing page in the free agent centre that shows all those transactions. But other than that there's not one central place where all other transacations are shown for the league.

A link to the manual can be found on the start screen, bottom left.

You gave yourself the answer in your negative review on Steam for us: FHM is not OOTP. Our main goal with FHM 2 was to produce a fun, stable game with focus on modern game and add in solid support for fictional and historical. IMO the game is now a good foundation for future improvements in all areas. FHM will never be "OOTP for Hockey", we have our own vision for the franchise and will do what we think is best for the game.

Couple more things as I have played longer.
My coach retired about a week after I extended his contract. No biggie but
it auto hired a new coach immediately rather then letting me choose a hire.
Also I find that star players in Free agency go for 2 year contracts as UFA's. Also have had a few weird minor league players be offered 4million + contracts as their first NHL contract after an entry level deal expires with 0 nhl experience.

Sorry if I missed this, but is there a way that prevents the AI coach/assistants from calling up players when the roster isn't full? When players get injured, they will call up players that I don't want (for waivers reasons), even though in Manager->Manager Options->Roster moves, I set it to me only. Does it have something to do with "Setting Lines" option? If so, that's annoying, cause I like having the coach switch up the dressed players from game to game and it'd suck to do it manually for each game.

DanielR · 10-01-2015, 10:53 PM

Hey, for some reason I can't appear to be able to trade with other teams. I'm just passed the preseason and I have no idea why it's not working. I press the "Action" button on the teams profile but nothing appears. I'm in the NHL by the way.

Edit: I meant preseason, not "trade deadline" lol

I'm hoping that a NHL trade tracker page will be added instead of having to do what we do now.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that having the assistant handle Setting Lineups will do that if there's an injury that left a hole it can't fill, since there's no other way for it to complete the lineup if there's a game it has to prepare for. It may help if you set the "When player is injured" value to no limit and turn it on - that way you get notified as soon as the injury happens and can make your replacement callup on your own.

To make a trade while looking at another team, right-click on the player you want and select "Trade Offer". Or, return to your own home screen and then click Trade Offer under the team menu. That'll let you choose the team you want to talk to.
