Well, the chances of that happening are essentially slim to none..

You can’t import entire teams or anything like that. The players that come in are entirely random. And at random times. You could start your sim in 1960 and Yvan Cournoyer may be drafted in 1973 while Henri Richard may be drafted in 1987 etc..

Brawls?
Suspensions?
Third man in?
...hockey stuff

Do NHL expansion teams get playable farm teams?

What new playable leagues are there in FHM5?

Can you have an NHL with fictional players? I know you could probably do it when starting a custom league but still there is a lot involved doing it that way.

Orioles1966 · 09-30-2018, 03:41 PM

It's too bad there isn't a schedule editor.

I would like too move some NY Islanders home games to Toronto and Philadelphia. They seem to have attendance problems in Brooklyn(who would have guessed that?).

Plus play doubleheaders like they did back in the 1960's and early 1970's NBA schedule.

Don't know how it would be a problem generating an older NBA schedule and use it with the NHL(or custom league).

Don´t know how it would be a problem to just play a NBA Manager game.

mgom27 · 09-30-2018, 10:04 PM

If they made this version.

Orioles1966 · 09-30-2018, 10:10 PM

What's the largest amount of teams can one start with a Custom League?

Can you have one team expansion or can you can expand by more than 2 teams at a time?

Can the AHL have independent teams?

Still any word if I could reform the International Hockey League and put it in the real world(NHL,AHL,ECHL,KHL etc)?

Sabres2000 · 09-30-2018, 10:44 PM

two questions about Major Juniors

A) Adam You mentioned you can expand NHL, HAl, etc can you expand in OHl, QMJHL, WHL?

b) when it comes to the minor leagues for OHL etc, is it still Junior B league or is it teams in the junior team for OHL teams to send down their players like teams in OPJHL or is it just Manitoba Junior B is what the team is called like fhm4.. Just want my players to develop better then having all players play on 1 team etc..

Keep in mind that this was not the changelog, but rather a short list of new features. Countless more changes / tweaks / fixes / improvements have been made

Would be nice to get the full list, even the little tweaks/additions, most of us may not even notice or care until we read it.

We add small stuff all the time, so it is hard to remember everything. We added a Wildcard standings screen, we added Championships won + Gold/Silver/Bronze to the player award icons, there are now playoff lines on the standings screen, player have languages now and learn them new over time (and if a young kid is playing overseas and nobody speaks his language it can have a negative impact on him), local + international popularity, father/son of info, more (advanced) stats like zone starts, Point Shares, Goals Created, when you go to a player page from the roster and then back the table will be at the same position, same when you e.g. dress/undress a player, history pages for the CHL and Memorial Cup, more career team/player stats, the possibility to use custom (e.g. real) rink graphics in-game, if you play the home team you will know which line the away team put on ice when selecting your line manually after a FO. And so on...

Well, you want Bob McKenzie..live play by play with tv networks..the hiring of studio tv production personnel..etc..

To be quite honest I think you may still be confused as to what type of game you’re playing? This is a simulation/strategy/management game. Not EA NHL for PS4.

And no disrespect intended, but I think we have to be realistic with our requests here in terms of what we feel the developers think will be a necessary addition or simply a fantasy request by a specific individual. Let’s be honest here...do we really think the developers are focused on adding something such as a “retired players game” at all-star weekend to the list of new additions?

Let’s get everything else where it needs to be (and we have made great strides since FHM 1) before we start considering fantasy scenarios like that. OOTP doesn’t even have that option and they’re on version 19..

Fair enough.

Don't know if you can disclose this but are you guys planning any major updates (rather than incremental updates/hotfixes) for the game with significant changes?

Yes I realize this might be a stupid question lol

It doesn't have to be Bob MacKenzie, lol, but a mail item every now and then of an "insider" mentioning high-profile players on trade blocks (like a rumour mill kind of thing) could be something realistically implementable for the developers?

It would add some immersion to the game at the very least.

mgom27 · 10-01-2018, 09:47 AM

What I'm talking is about having Insiders report News/Rumors in Game like Trades so like at Draft Dranger might say like Panthers/Kings talking Trade. Also NBATK has Adam Silver announcing Picks so maybe Bettman annouce Trades on Day one and Teams announcing picks.
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?
