I am loving the worry about the European leagues being adequately tested. From what I see here and know about the guys who work hard on things like this......I am more concerned the NHL, AHL, and CHL will not be tested adequately.
Well....not really.

Monday to Friday (day): 5,237 Monday to Friday (night): 20,420 Saturday: 7,703 Sunday: 17,613 You can see the dramatic difference in typical attendance between day and night games during the week—night games were close to four times greater, and were even better than Sunday afternoon games. Saturday games drew 47% better than weekday games, while Sundays drew 2.3 times better than Saturday and nearly 3.4 times better than weekday games. (Note that these sorts of differences in attendance between different days of the week gradually disappeared over the years.) The question is whether attendance at hockey games illustrate the same sort of differences between days of the week and start time. Unfortunately, hockey attendance is nowhere near as readily available or comprehensive as it is for baseball (and even reliable game-by-game attendance for baseball is largely non-existent before 1938 or so). The point is that if hockey attendance has been subject to the some sort of average variance depending on the day of the week or game start time, then that should be reflected in FHM at some point as attendance translates into ticket sales which in turn translates into revenue the GM of the hockey club has to spend on player salaries.

Yes Le Grande Orange....totally common sense. But this is the first VERSION of a BRAND NEW hockey game that is going to a public BETA not to the GAMING MARKET in full yet. I think game start times, real time, moving teams, expansion, fantasy, fictional, and many many other requests for things are interesting.....BUT NOT IMPORTANT enough to be put in the game AT THIS POINT.
Again, like Jeff said.....focus on the AI....get it right. Get player ratings right...get behaviours right so that we have an ACCURATE SIMULATOR.....and a good basic game. Never mind at this point making the wish list too big. Maybe....maybe come July or June or August....once the game has been perfected we can start adding teams on the moon.

Not to mention you are talking about very minute details of historical mode. Why people are asking these questions when the AI can't sign their own free agents is beyond comprehensible, some people are delusional, and its frustrating that we have to sift through it on many threads, or just not come to the boards are the options Last edited by drewst18; 03-01-2013 at 04:25 PM. |

LOL. no one Orioles. Just stating my opinion and real ideas as you are. No need to get upset about it. And it is unfortunate everything you want won't be in the game right from the get go. So in the meantime....you should create a Fictional or fantaasy league thread and keep everything in there. Including time of game requests. That way the developers will make sure to see it, and not get lost in the clutter of the threads of those criticizing your ideas. It would IMHO serve your interests the best. For me....just hoping to help out with making realistic AI and simulation realistic. Don't want the nightmare AI from EHM in this one. And from what I know of Jeff R.....it won't. And yes L'Orange I know you were pointing it out in real life not in the game. And yes... I do believe even today day games during the week in MLB are less attended than weekend games for the most part. As long as not on a holiday. The proof is out there, as David Duchovny would say. Just at this point...not sure what it would have to do with the game, or how it would affect it and make it not accurate or less worthy. It is really a MINOR MINOR issue for the game. Get the big things sorted out first and go from there. Ah LOL ....got the quote in there before you edited your post....again.

Not making fun of it Orioles. Saying it is not yet a priority. It is not included in the original beta. Like I said....you should really put all your suggestions together and into one thread to make sure not missed. Two lines surrounded by criticism and things in 20 threads..makes it hard for developer to read. All in one thread....they see it. Best way IMHO to get the attention your ideas deserve.

As for the point about the NHL being tested properly I'm sure it will? Haha, It's the main selling point of the game! I just think our North American friends forget sometimes that the NHL isn't the only hockey league in the world |

Not alot of talk about how to address AI issues which may or may not be there. First thing I am going to do is try and trade for Marleau with 10 7th round picks. Long time EHMers will get that.

Don't discount seemingly 'minor' historical details. Very often those minor details are an important part of creating the overall feeling or flavour of a given historical period. To put it another way, the little details matter, and it's important to get them right. We can debate when such details should be implemented, but that's a separate issue. |

How's the online piece shaping up? Is something along the lines of one of the modern versions of OOTP scheduled for the first version? Or will we need to wait?

Getting back to hockey, I personally would be surprised to see much difference in attendance based on day of the week or start time. Offhand, given the fewer seats and fewer dates a hockey club has to fill compared to a baseball club, it would seem such factors would play a far smaller role. Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, there is no equivalent to Retrosheet's game logs for the NHL or other hockey league, so doing any sort of statistical examination would seem difficult at best. |

I haven't been on FHockey in a very long time. Is it still going to be up and running with FHM in mind?
