FHM2 Draft Questions

WIUPIKE · 03-11-2015, 09:33 AM

I do not know if either of these have been answered

1. Will there be a central scouting ranking of the top 200 players in the draft?

2. Will there be trading during the draft?

Thanks

I'm sure trading will be there, makes no sense it wouldn't be. I think they said top 100 somewhere bit I'm not 100% sure about that

One thing I noticed in FHM1 (at least in fictional mode) is that the majority of AI teams will draft goalies in the first draft round of the second season while completely neglecting potentially elite players at other positions. This behaviour seemed pretty weird to me so I'm not sure if it's working as intended, or if something will be changed up in FHM2.

on yahoo leagues (and others) I typically go goalie in first round (good ones are that hard to come by) philosophy build from the net OUT..result??? RARELY lower than 3rd especially in the "bid process" leagues..some noob would spend $240 out of $250 allotted on Ochokin or Crosby and typically winds up in dead last and never plays

but if this game does that even I know ways on beating that

in reality there are about 12 elite class goalies in the NHL and the rest above average....average age too is 32 so it makes sense to go goalie but if a conner mcdavid is out there then going goalie makes no sense.

It really does not make sense in any fashion to take a goalie in the frist round or even sometimes early second. Goalies are very hard to scout and are always a product of the team that is infront of them. Many highly touted goalies of the past 15 years have never made it in the NHL. Goalie rating in a real hockey simulator should be in constant flux.
