Historical Mode questions

Is there a way to play "hot seat mode" in the Historical Mode in FHM3, where you can control/be the GM for all the NHL teams? If yes, from 1972-1979 is it possible to control all the NHL and WHA teams?

Also, are the Staff still fake in Historical Mode? If so, is it possible to edit them (at least their names)? I find the fake Staff negatively affects the feeling of immersion for me...

Since I'm asking about editing in Historical Mode, is there a Commissioner Mode in Historical Mode? can you edit in Historical Mode like you can in Sandbox Mode?

I don't think so. At least I can't figure out how to do it.

Historical staff are still fake. They can be edited in commissioner mode though.

Since I'm asking about editing in Historical Mode, is there a Commissioner Mode in Historical Mode? can you edit in Historical Mode like you can in Sandbox Mode?

Yes there is. You can edit in historical mode sandbox just the same as in regular sandbox box.

Thanks for the answers!


That's really to bad about not having hot seat/multiple user GM ability

A crude work around in FHM 2 was making a bunch of human GMs at the beginning, then technically you could assign each of them to a different team, and control all the teams by switching between profiles. It was a crude and tedious work around, not sure if that option is still viable in FHM 3.

Short question about the logos in historical mode, so I post it here:
Is it not possible anymore to have the logos of the NHL teams "evolve" automatically over time?
Having the year attached to the name of the png files does not work as in FHM2. The game only recognizes the logos without a year in the name.

The naming convention changed. I don´t have them in front of me but maybe Jeff can post them later (I think it is teamname_startyear_endyear).

Alright, thanks.

While we're at it. I seem to remember display issues here and there. I found that in a historical sandbox game no playoff statistics are shown. The scoring table is empty and all the boxscores show only goal and penalty events and shot totals - nothing else.
Stats are in fact tracked for each player individually, though (accessible via player profile).

Just tested the logos from FHM2 and the naming convention seems to be the same as before - at least the logos are working as intended.

The naming conventions are at the bottom of this page in the manual (I'd post it here, but I don't think the table will work in the forum.):
