Hire/Fire Front Office staff?

Knave · 01-20-2015, 08:19 PM

Hello!

Just picked up FHM14, and I'm looking forward to mismanaging my team to oblivion

I've been looking around the menus, for about 45 minutes trying to find out where I can hire and fire my staff and I can't seem to find it? I figured it would be in the personnel tab where it lists all your employees and unemployed staff, but I don't see any transaction buttons. When I click on the staff, there doesn't seem to be any options to do anything to them, other than look at their stats.

Am I looking in the wrong place, or do I need to select something? Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome aboard - to hire or fire from the personnel screen you right click on the personnel you a re hiring or firing. I am currently starting a dynasty on these forums and cover the topics - look for DYNASTY-Florida Panthers and I cover the scouts and coaches skills/evaluations. There are a few other helpful posts here, but it is sorta hit or miss so far. I suggest searching key words and reading the bug post to learn the pitfalls first.

Good luck!

Ahhh, you know what? - I was trying to right-click, but it was on head coaches, which I guess is a no-go currently

Now I feel silly.

Thanks for the quick help - read through your Florida play through this afternoon!

Feel free to post questions here or on my Dynasty... no question is dumb, I probably already asked it first

I want to see this game take off - so I'm just trying to help any way I can!

welcome Knave. As Moore mentioned, definitely don't be afraid to ask anything on the forums! Give a quick search as someone may have asked it already and then post away!

That mindset will get you a GM job in Toronto! You'll probably get them back in the playoffs sooner too.

As a Flyers fan, Holmgrens gift of JVR for Luke Schenn means we did our part!

I'm praying Hexy will right the ship in a few years when these awful contracts start coming off the books.

Thanks again for the warm welcome, guys!

Yeah, I'll probably be asking a lot of questions as there doesn't seem to be much in the way of a getting started guide.

Simmed my first batch of games and got off to a nice 5-0 start for CBJ, and then came down to a more reasonable 12-8-2.

Couple of my guys went down to some minor (couple day) long injuries and the computer decided that they should go on injury reserve :/, so I don't think I'll let the computer manage that anymore.

Now to figure out who to offer contracts to and hat I have to do with unsigned prospects!

As I just recently remembered (after the fact) you can only sign your prospects until Aug 31st, then you have to wait until after the end of the season.

Contracts are a bit easier, my rule of thumb is a top 10 player at his position can have a longer than three year contract, everybody else is limited to three years - unless they are 25 y/o or less and you can get them to agree to reasonable terms. The AI can get players to agree to some funky contracts and then they try to trade them right after signing. So beware and check the contracts in trades before pulling the trigger.

Good luck and keep us posted!
