Impressions?
So we are coming up on 24 hours.. I know some of you have spent a considerable amount of time with this game, yet I dont feel like I've seen much in the way of first impressions... Thoughts those of us who are on the fence?

I was thinking of downloading the game today but it doesn't seem like there is a lot of solid information about the formation of custom leagues and NHL/AHL/ECHL expansion. I would like too see some comments about it.

Custom Leagues work pretty much like in FHM4.
You create your major league, you can use one of the many presets or create a custom structure. You set the rules and then you can add the minor and junior league. Regarding junior leagues: There is the canadian junior league system available as a preset, which gives you 3 seperate junior leagues. If you don't choose to use that, you can just simply add your custom amount of teams and then restructure it with a start on July 1st in comissioner mode and add max 2 conferences.á 2 divisions. What's also new, you can change your playoff system on july 1st. -------------------- Expansion: You can take a look at this video, where they actually go through it in a gameplay video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-AbmNemREI Last edited by Ohgr; 10-02-2018 at 08:22 AM. |

Can you start right off the bat with 36 custom league teams or is that over time with expansion?

You can start with up to 60 teams.
60 appears to be the upper limit of teams you can have. I wasn't able to expand when I tried it out. So...yes...36 is also possible. |

That's a whole lot better than last season. A lot more exciting the last few days of the regular season with that many teams than smaller leagues. |

Just setting up my Random Debut starting in 1917. My usual OCD with logos, jerseys etc is delaying the progress. My pipe dream of running it until all players become fictional is in my mind again but that will fall by wayside when I come up new latest, greatest idea for a league.

Yes, thank you, but I am bringing in the WCHL logos and moving my stuff from 4 to 5. Also I am going a little slow to start to check new for new features and mistakes but I really enjoy Random Debut.

I wish when playing out games that at the end it would say F next to the Period.
Also when the game is over and you leave the screen it should automatically go to the box score(see OOTP) and after leaving the box score screen it should go to the scoreboard screen(also see OOTP). Besides that its a great game for custom league(s). Just formed a 52 team league (10-8-8 dvisional set-up) and can't wait till the closing week of the season when it will be total kaos for the final playoff spot(s). I have one eastern team(Boston Breakers) that have an early 3-game west coast trip. Players can't be happy about that and hopefully they don't contact the players union.

Other than the bright white, the game is a solid improvement from FHM 4.
