We don't have a PC Hockey Game that has live Play by Play anymore because ÑHL Live not made anymore for PC.

Trades with other Leagues? When somebody retires can become a Personal meaning Front Office or Staff Member? Personal Hall of Fame? Unretirements by Computer or even the person can annouce by them selfs saying unretiring?
Never change, Matt. Never change.

In historical replays, do the right teams have home ice advantage in the playoffs?

Question about Fictional games : Customizing.

I've got a Fictional game in OOTP, with 3 Pro leagues, 3 Minor leagues, 3, Feeder leagues... Leagues and teams north america and europe.

I love being able to customize the nationality of the fictional players coming into the developmental leagues... International tournaments. Rules limiting international players in certain leagues... Playoff format.... I love being able to see the evolution of my league over the years. Expansion of teams. Running my fictional league as a commissioner, adjusting and monitoring the financials of the league.

I am wondering if in FHM5, you can finally create an entire fictional world similar to how you can in recent OOTP versions

For example, having multiple Pro Leagues, each with a Minors System, and developmental system. So i could have a pro league or two in North America, one in Europe or England specifically... Or France... All with fictional generated players...

Thanks

I am also very curious about this, the ability to promote assistants or even scouts to higher jobs, or hire a successful junior coach is super important for me and would probably greatly impact my decision to buy the game.

AI doesnt seem to bring up any players for games or give more playing time to backups. Not sure if this is by design or not so I thought I should mention it.

We have like in OTTP Baseball Network News but no real Insiders and might not need a license to use ÑHL Network/TSN/NBCSN/ESPN guys in Game.

In real life in Training Camp Teams don't use other Stadium for Games like Lighting playing Home Preseason Games at Amway Arena in Orlando but maybe in this game.
Wavier Draft just before season starts?

Glad to see you guys keeping the Franchise going!
Any improvements to transactions? Trades and free agency are the things I'm most interested in.

Then some good news for you - you can hire ppl for different jobs in this iteration of the game.
If a, f.e., scout has great ratings in training goalies you can make him your goalie coach. If you fire your head coach midway through the season you can promote one of your assistants to HC, and so on.
In general the staff system is much more variable now.

FA and trade engine has again improved a bit - not perfect, but way better then last year.

Sebastien...

I was just wondering if this was a easy fix... So when i go to pull up someones profile and then hit the back button it goes back to the top of the UFA list then i have to move down the list again is there a way to fix this so that your still where you are are in the list? For example if i open a players profile in the middle of the list I then decide to hit back then im not at the beginning of the list im at the middle of the list

It was always how you wanted it in the previous editions of the game, I'm not sure why it isn't like that anymore but I also second this post. It's extremely annoying. Also sometimes when I hover over a player's name it doesn't give me the preview like it usually does (and has in old FHM's). There's like a 50% chance that it will.

We changed the table system and might have missed some places to add this functionality (e.g. on the roster screen it works). We will bring it back everywhere of course, just might take a few days until we have the time for it (so might not be in Fridays update but should be in the first update after public release).

I agree with that some extra immersion comments would be a great addition:

A respected insider has tweeted that Team A might be looking to move Player X.

Insiders are speculating that Team A and Team B could be close to finalising a trade deal.

Speaking on national radio, a reputable insider has said Team A are kicking the tyres on a potential trade for Team B's Player X.

A well-known hockey insider is reporting sources have told him Player Y has no intention of negotiating a contract extension with Team A.

Can you "unretire" a player?

I find it frustrating when players coming off really strong years retire while they still have gas in the tank.

If it were a rarity that would be one thing, but I've had guys that will sign a multi-year extension as the season is winding down retire when the season ends on multiple occasions.

Seems odd a guy would ink a new deal for two or three years, be one of my top players, and then retire at the end of the season.

Even more common is re-upping a guy for one season only to have him retire shortly after. Sometimes I've even had a guy sign the extension after the season ends... and then he retires days later.

I brought in Sergei Mozaykin from the KHL, signed him to a reasonable deal (I think it was in the $1.5 million range) and he really clicked on my first line and scored 37-goals. I then inked him to a 3-year deal worth $12 million and just days after signing that extension, he announced his retirement.

It's a dumb quirk of the AI, but it would be much less frustrating if I could just "undo" the retirement.

I really didn't think this needed its own topic so here's a quick request:
Can you put the name of the league under the "Continue Game" section? This way we know what league we were playing last?

Can you do more advanced search than you could do in FHM4 when seaching players? For example if I'd like to find a player who is good at passing, positioning and speed, how would I do that? I'd like to be able to set following filters for example: Passing > 14, Positioning > 16 and Speed > 15. I believe this was not possible in FHM4 or I missed that option.

Also I'd like to have an option to set the player ratings page as my default player home page. IMO it shows much more useful information (roles, ratings) especially when seaching players than the default profile but this is just my personal preference.

Overall game looks great based on Twitch streams.

Can you set all teams to human/AI like in OOTP?

Hi, does FHM 5 allow you to set all the teams to human control like OOTP did? I like to control/run the whole league and FHM 4 didn't allow me to do that
