I agree on both points; improvements occurs in increments and take time

Thoughts? I haven't seen a way to do this, unless I have over looked. |

There are exceptions, I know about 5 years ago, when the Canucks had their farm team in Chicago (then privately owned), that was a major bone of contention, in that several AHL vets played over the Van prospects. |

The NHL GM definitely has a lot of control and influence over AHL teams but the AHL coach is the person who sees the AHL team playing and practicing so the AHL coach has a lot of control and influence over the AHL team.
The NHL GM does sometimes tell the AHL coach which players to use or concentrate on or which areas to develop in a player. In theory the NHL GM could tell the AHL coach what to do every day but the NHL GM is too busy with the NHL team plus if he has confidence in the AHL coach (and hopefully he does) he lets the AHL coach run the team as he (the AHL coach) wants. After all, the AHL coach knows the AHL team more than the GM does. The AHL coach reports to the GM about the play and progress of players. Last edited by GMO123; 10-30-2016 at 03:40 PM.

That said, I agree 100% with Nino. If a 1st round left winger is playing at the AHL level, you can rest assured that the NHL GM would take exception to the AHL coach playing him as a 3rd line right winger. Or, if a top goaltending prospect is playing at the AHL level, many would have an issue with him spending all of his time on the bench behind a journeyman goalie who is there as an NHL insurance piece to ride the pine if one of the top two get hurt. The "lock" feature from OOTP is key. We should be able to lock players into a level (AHL or ECHL) and be able to lock them into a position on he team and have the coach of that AHL/ECHL team build around them. Juniors? Don't care. That's a different world, but once they get into that true NHL pipeline, the NHL GM should have some level of influence over how that player is developed when it comes to position and ice time. Its one of the those day to day operational things that this game should strive for.

I think it'd be the AHL GM reporting to the NHL GM Last edited by Nino33; 10-29-2016 at 11:16 PM. |

It is not uncommon for the Assistant GM of the NHL team to be the AHL GM at the same time. The AHL teams now are almost all owned by the NHL team - when they are not, they're are getting huge money for developing players for that NHL team. In other words, the NHL GM DOES have potentially major influence in players time and development today as the primary goal is to develop players - so if coaches aren't receptive to this they could be fired. But in most cases, there NHL coach does not get involved directly from what I've seen. The NHL do have Development coaches now though but again they would work with the AHL coach and not telling him what to do and who to play
I think it's more the case that it's not quite part of the development vision at the moment...in addition to a timing/priority thing. No GM is the head coach of the NHL team as well like Road to Glory includes so fun vs. realism in not a factor in this scenario.

But there are some fixes.
1. Create the lock/force feature. 2. Since that might take coding etc that peiple dont have time for use an already existing feature. Migrate the "manage minors" option from sandbox to PtG In my PtG game Albany was playing Quenneville at RW and sitting Blackwood on the bench as the backup goalie so my top goaltending prospect was set to play 15-20 games. These are problems when it comes to player development.

As far as having control over every level, IMHO it should be limited to AHL and ECHL. NHL teams dont have any control over the Junior teams so you might as well essentially maintain control over players that are at teams that your franchise has direct oversight over.

The reason why it is not in career mode is, that we already have a clear vision of how it should work, but it is nothing we can add in a few days. One of the next priorities for the FHM universe going forward will be much better interaction between Coaches/GM´s/Team Owners/Players/Fans, which will cover this case. Another big priority will be much better options to handle your organization, which will also cover this case. Yes, it take a bit longer but ultimately the game will evolve into our vision over time and hopefully many people like it.

Will that be incorporated into FHM3 or a future version? |

I imagine future versions. Such complex additions cannot be added in simple patches / game updates, unfortunately.

So in FHM 3 I wont be able to instruct my AHL team to play a player more, or develop him in another position, or even in his proper position?

I don't know if Sebastian & team have any plans for an update in this area. I know they will improve many areas of the game in coming patches, so maybe this kind of control is among that.
