Thanks
Yes and yes.

Not this year. We haven't taken a serious look at adding them yet, I'm not sure the way OOTP handles them will work with our UI.

2) In the salary cap years teams were unable to resign their star players for example Crosby and Ovechkin would become free agents after their first contract because teams did not have the big bucks to resign them, although this is very unrealistic as obviously those teams would do whatever it takes to keep them
Expansion rules haven't changed yet, but that's very high on the priority list for a post-release change.

I haven't noticed that the second one has been a particular problem in testing. And I wouldn't want to make it impossible for top players to go to free agency, or we'd have no Tavares situations in the game.

Just lines at the moment, although tactics would be the obvious next step.

Well, I ask again then.
Will the coaches that having a year without coaching get into the game, just as the players that was FA in the year one start a historical save.

The issue is I understand lots of the coaches that is in teams will be in, but don't like it as it's in OOTPB were tons of free agent coaches are fantasy ones.
Great coaches that just had the year you start in as a free year never pops up in OOTPB, which is kind of crazy.

So not this scenario then.
Most coaches in teams are real blokes but the free coaches are fantasy.
Guess it will be hard to follow it up over the years when players turn into coaches. That will probably be on an AI suggestion and not really historical

I hope you understand what I am referring too.

NHL participation isn't editable, so the NHL players are not in the Olympics, non-playoff players can go to the World Championships, and everybody participates in the World Cup.
Just to piggyback off this, I think last year I asked about Olympics and someone said it was as simple as "flipping a switch" to re-implement NHLers back into the game, no chance of ever getting an "unofficial" mod which would do so?

Also depending on schedule will we see NHLers in Division 1&2 sometimes in the World Championship? The regular season in usually finished by then anyway.

I really like following international hockey...

Depending what your wife set something to block I guess . Could be your internet provider, or a number of things. But if you go to https://www.youtube.com/user/ootpdevelopments- it's the top videos. If you can't get it to work, it's likely in your settings. But it's up on our Twitch page as well - www.twitch.tv/OOTPDevelopments

NHLers are free to go to World Championships if their seasons are done. That's no issue. There is no flip-switching for the Olympics though. Until there's an official agreement between the NHL, IIHF and the IOC, you won't see it.

Honestly at this point, I'm not sure we will even see it in the next Olympics. (Personal Opinion).

This list seems really nice. I am hoping to preorder, so I am reluctant to ask if the drafting issues in the mid-70s are fixed? I looked over the list twice and didn’t see it, but this is a small matter and can imagine it not being listed or that I managed to overlook it.

Thanks!

Since I haven't been playing FHM for a while now for personal reasons, I just wanna know whether there is an option to edit the rosters or not.

If not, is it planned to bring this in soon? So that users can download edited rosters from other users?

Anything new with Custom Leagues?

Also in historical leagues are there any playable minor leagues?

Hi Jeff - just following up on this excellent question. Now that suspensions for on-ice as well as off - COOL!) incidents are included in the game, does that mean that FHM6 will at last feature brawls (both line brawls and bench clears, complete with goalie fights) particularly for historical seasons of the '70s, '80s, and '90s?

If the brawls are included and done correctly, then we've got ourselves a hockey game that's pretty close to perfect, IMO!

OK I used data rather than WIFI to look at the video.

Exhibition mode is just two teams. Not multiple teams like OOTP20.

Something I'd like to see in the future is the AI make counter offers when offered a trade instead of just rejecting, especially if it's for a player they have on the block.
