I apologize, I shouldn't have quoted that specific sentence, my point was to temper expectations and to not push your own personal preference during beta and focus on what is best for the game as a whole.
Put yourself in shoes of majority, not how you would want game to work out... September 3rd feel free to ask about any crazy neutral site games/crazy league expansion, but in mean time lets focus on putting out a solid game that everyone will enjoy. As Beta testers we have a great opportunity to improve the game, lets not put our personal preference ahead of what is best for the project. |

That being said....IN THE FUTURE. How about we get player development and AI figured out first before we have teams in outer space. You know...kind of like Sebastien, Jeff, Malte and all are doing it. Orioles you should be on board with that. And as Drewst says...how about you worry about the EXTRAS after the actual release of the game and just help get them working the game properly

Joined today in anticipation of the Beta. Will more than likely preorder, not too sure about Beta playing right now. I do have another little one on the way soon so time will be at a premium.
Still very excited for this. |

It'd be very easy to break the game using it - e.g., enter too long of a rest between rounds and go past the annual update date, but it should still be in there on Monday. Historical mode is a bit problematic at the moment; right now, there's no way to change playoff formats automatically from the one you start with - so, if you start pre-1967, you'll still have only four teams making the playoffs after the league expands. That has to be changed manually by editing the playoff options. Obviously, we need to get that automated. There's also an interleague tournament option that allows teams from multiple leagues to meet in a championship tournament, e.g. the Memorial Cup. That's had very little testing, though, so I suspect it's going to provide more than a few bug reports once people start trying to push its limits. Quote:

Hey guys, please keep it friendly. I think it is natural that people are mostly interested in features they want to use. But as some already wrote, at this stage our main focus has to be the base game, get is stable and then think about all the "little" extras we can add.
Thats the reason we are very open about the stuff you can do now and more important what you can't do at the moment. So everyone can decide if he wants to commit now or at a later point in development. With every update we will write out very detailed what got fixed, tweaked and added. Another reason we do the open beta is to get feedback/ideas from you guys. We want to make FHM the best hockey textsim available and there is no better way then doing it with the people who play the game.

Why just the best hockey sim? I hope the longterm goal is the best Sports Business textsim?

i'll be playing modern day so i certainly won't be pushing/suggesting/recommending features as heavily in another mode like historical mode unless i'm interested in playing it too (which i might be periodically). Personal preference is always the motivation and it shouldn't be frowned upon as those people are rarely alone in their request.

And again I do apologize my tone was a bit a-hole(ish) and hopefully we can get a forum dedicated to requests and keep it separate from beta bugs. I was just frustrated with the lack of realistic expectations and same topics being discussed on a large amount of threads. |

I hope that since this is a beta, someone will also try non-NHL leagues. We need testing there too.

I've also been doing a 'lowest league to NHL career' in EHM, so I'll probably end up looking at other leagues in FHM as well. |

Will there be exhibition seasons or exhibition games between leagues or league all-star games?
Seasons that go past the 2012-13 season,if there is no schedule generator,where do the schedules come from? What schedule will be used for the shortened 2012-13 NHL season? Can the game times be edited? Last edited by Orioles1966; 02-28-2013 at 01:00 PM. |

Hopefully the Swiss NLA makes it onto the game. That's what EHM missed badly for us Europeans. |

Presumably it works like OOTP in that the slate of games in the schedule remains the same but the opponents within the schedule match-ups are rotated each year. So as long as the league structure or the length of the schedule isn't changed, the same schedule file can be used for multiple seasons.
