This is good to know. I am a part of a historical league. Now we started back in 1990-91, so it'll take several real-life years to get there, but still. Good to know it'll run out of real players one season early.

I had a quick question. I would like to start a six-team historical league that has teams called the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and the 10s. Each team will be manned by all and only stars from each decade and they will all play against one another. A few questions I had:

1. I know I need to import historically each player, but what's the best game setup? Custom, or historical? I guess I am looking for a step-by-step thing.

2. Do I need to clear the rosters manually?

3. If I wanted to run this for multiple seasons, what is the best way (if there is a way) of adding different stars to the draft? I realize I can't add all and only historical players for the draft perpetually, but I figured some who didn't make the cut could be eligible and drafted by their appropriate team.

1. Probably custom and a very small number of teams, that'll make it a little easier to customize into exactly what you want.

2. No, go to the team edit screen and there are options to release or retire all the players on the team. You'll still have to deal with the free agents manually, though.

3 - The first two years listed for the player in the import option will be his 17- and 18-year-old seasons, so you can either import him at 18 the season of the draft (i.e. 2019-20 for the 2020 draft), or at 17 for the following year's draft (2019-20 for the 2021 draft.) The players you import at those ages will be draft-eligible by default.

Thanks so much, I appreciate it!

Hiya -- is there a similar process to OOTP to add a fictional nation and cities in FHM6?

ZootMurph · 07-30-2020, 08:23 PM

I've started several new games, but I can't find a way to set myself to not be fired. Also, the Commissioner Mode but is disabled, so I can't click it.

Thanks!

I'm not the best person to answer this so if I'm wrong please correct me. But IIRC, Historical mode only takes into consideration players that have played in the NHL. The prospects for this year's draft have not played so they will not be available.

If you're in challenge mode, you can't activate commissioner mode. The "can't be fired" setting is only available during the initial setup of the game.

No, our world data works a little differently than theirs and has a lot of extra FHM-specific data, so it can't be modified.

Hey Jeff I found a big bug that I thought was fixed from FHM5 but just noticed it wasnt.

I made a quick youtube video showing it if you want to check that out.

Thanks - I'm planning on modifying the AI draft logic for 7, so while I'm doing that I'll try to figure out why the AI is occasionally drafting like that. It should be aware of what kind of overall positional balance it has at any given moment, but I'm wondering if something in junior's 50-player rights limit is throwing that off.

Hello! Not sure if it's a bug or I'm missing something here, but i'm in my game, I'm on July 1rst 2026 and Connor McDavid is UFA. I made him an offer, which he responded with "This offer seems reasonable. You'll hear from me soon". Only, the box to actually submit the offer is grayed out. The only box I can click on are "Meet demand" and "Ask for a response". I've tried clicking on Ask a response again, but it pisses him off because he thinks I'm trolling him... If it matters, the offer is for 12 650 000 for 5 years. I'm at 67 375 000 on cap obligation, so I should have just enough to sign him. And I'm at 42 contracts out of 50. Do you have any suggestions?

Can you upload that save (instructions here) I'd like to have a look at why it's doing that.

Triactus · 08-03-2020, 07:32 PM

Allright! If I understood correctly, I compressed only the 42 loose files in my saved game folder, and copied it on the fto under the name Canadiens 01.lg.

Thanks!

JeffR · 08-04-2020, 02:39 AM

Advance it one day to July 2, then make the offer again. It seems to be calculating your free agent budget wrong, but going one day forward clears the problem (and when I tried, he signed on the 3rd).

Colorado · 08-04-2020, 05:29 AM

Is it possible to get offered a job by another NHL team whilst currently managing in the NHL? This is something I have never experienced.

Does it happen in the game, if so, should it occur a bit more frequently (FHM7 request)?

No, one NHL team won't offer you a contract if you're already under contract to another.

Well that's really weird. I had previously tried to sign him on July 2nd, but I had the same result. I just tried to wait to July 3rd, same. I even simulated to August 1rst, and the "Submit offer" option is still grayed out, and after I asked for his response to my latest offer, it's still marked as not active in my open offers window. If it helps, I just saw in his reply to my offer that he's talking about contract extension.

Do players actually get generated with over 900 potential? I've yet to see anyone above 850 in either category.

ZootMurph · 08-04-2020, 07:39 PM

Is there a specific date when players 'age'? Or do they just grow or fade every month when the development report comes out?
