Cole,
First off, love the new screens and thanks for the updates. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of FHM2. Anywho.....with you posting these screens of how this years newest NHL draft picks are doing in the sim I was curious if it's possible for you to sim a replay from previous years to see how FHM2 is handling compared to first release of FHM. I was a little disappointed in the sim/stats engine in that guys like Gretzky who had four 200 point season in the 80's were lucky to get 110 points when I simmed seasons in the 80's on FHM (and that was with the goals per game set at the numbers in the 80's. For instance, 1981-82 had the highest ever at 8.02....yet when I simmed that season Gretzky, who had 212 points that year, was barely getting over 100). Also kinda curious how the new sim engine is handling offensive defensemen, too. Bobby Orr had quite a few 100 point seasons yet in the original release of FHM when simming his seasons he was lucky to get 50-60 points. Same with Paul Coffey, too. The only way I was able to get defensemen to get 100 points a season during replays of historical seasons who had done just that in real life was to manually edit them.....so I'm just curious if the new game will be better at getting closer to real life stats during higher scoring era's. Thanks in advance. Last edited by scootermojo; 06-30-2015 at 05:18 PM. |

Looks pretty awesome.
My only observation is that no one can be #99! |

I didn't nor am I asking for it to perfectly mirror real life.....I'm asking if it's going to be better than the first version during historical replay. When I sim the 1927 MLB season on OOTP Babe Ruth doesn't hit exactly 60 homers....but he does end up with at least over 50 homers or something SIMILAR or COMPARABLE to what he did in real life. Gretzky getting 110 points during the high scoring 80's or Bobby Orr only getting 60 points during his peak seasons isn't something similar or comparable...and that's what happened on FHM.

Example: 1981-82. Gretzky's points per game (2.65) divided by 1981-82 league wide goals per game (8.02) equals .330 (or, a 33% chance that any goal scored in a game Gretzky played in that year was scored or assisted on by him). Then, .330 multiplied by 5.46 (2014-15 NHL league wide goals per game) equals 1.80 (Gretzky's theoretical 2014-15 points per game).....times the 2014-15 NHL schedule (82) equals 147.93. So, going by that the 1981-82 212 point Gretzky theoretically would've scored 148 points this past season when Jamie Benn led the league with only 87 points. |

A nitpick and off-topic but there are two spelling errors on the second screen in first post (with all the player ratings). "Offensive" is spelled "Ofensive" and "Defensive" is spelled "Deensive"
Probably known about but I just couldn't let it go without pointing it out! |

On the topic of historical seasons, I haven't done a ton of testing personally, as I deal mostly with the present-day, but I simmed the 83-84 season this evening.
Gretzky's stat line: 74-104-178 in just 58 games.

Any chance of seeing some stats of what an offensive 100 point defensemen like Bobby Orr or Paul Coffey have done during some historical sims? |

.Cole., I just want to say "thank you" for these posts. Communication from the developers has been very sporadic, and your posts are much appreciated.

BOOOOOOO! Not to the game or stat realism, but to Eichel and the team not taking off. :/
Oh well, in Buffalo, we're used to expecting immense amounts of disappointment before it even happens, so we'll be ready for anything. I haven't posted on the OOTP forums in years, but saw this post while lurking and just wanted to say how great everything looks. I didn't buy the first game in the series, but I'm definitely on board with FHM2 when it's released since I'm stoked about all the new additions. Of course, this is a huge time in this team's history so it's always nice to see some advanced simulations. I just hope there's a way to "reverse the curse". :P Last edited by Goldash; 07-02-2015 at 10:42 PM. |

I got the answer to this and it's a yes.
Sebastian tells me the 14-year-old new-gen players have realistic height/weight values for their age and they gain both over time. This can then impact things like their strength rating, etc. |

Sorry if this has been answered before, but how do Position Ratings work?
I see a player like McDavid has a 20 C , 12 LW and 10 RW rating. It seems to stick with him throughout his career. Is it safe to say players can't progress their secondary positions? Or do they need a lot of icetime at that position to see an increase? Also, if McDavid did play LW lets say, how badly would his performance be affected by not playing his primary position?. Is their a rating number (lets say 18 for example) that a player should be to be effective at that position? |
