(Almost) 100 years of simulating
To see the evolution of the 2015/16 NHL season in Franchise Hockey Manager into the future, I decided to simulate a 100 years on default settings to see what amount of points/goals is the highest each year and what nationalities make up the top 5 draft picks every year. Because of a recurring crash to desktop (they only first started happening after the year 2100) I had to stop simming just short of a 100 years:
Follow this link for a larger version of this picture: http://oi60.tinypic.com/1lmqv.jpg In my opinion the results are quite realistic. Perhaps the points/goals scored are a little too low; the highest being over 100 points a season seems to be the exception rather than the rule. Also most records still stand or are broken by the first batch of (real) players, so fictional players don't seem good enough to beat the them. Even after many decades. Draft picks seem to be realistic. Perhaps a little low on Russians. If anyone else wants to know any data from my savegame, feel free to ask. |

Stupid question, but how long did 100 years take you?!
I am trying to sim to a 10-15 year "background" for a league, and it is taking forever. Yes, I have all of the optional leagues set "on", but still... |

Could you upload the save for us? (instructions here, or put it on a filesharing site like filedropper.com or dropbox and PM me the link) We'd like to see what's causing that late crash.

Would love to see a screenshot of the player career stats who led the league in points for 2086

Hall of Fame inductees
Is 'first year' (FY) supposed to mean the first year the player appears in the game? Because it currently does. It seems like the players that are already in the game in 2015, do extremely well, since there are 8 players from 2015 that made the Hall of Fame (notice Connor McDavid is not one of them..). After that there seem to be 10 years that produce very little talent. Looks like that is the first batch of generated players failing to make an impression against the batch of real players that started the game. After 2030 it gets more balanced again, probably because the 'real' players are now starting to get old and retire. Last edited by Empty Eightysix; 10-18-2015 at 02:29 PM. |

That Uusitalo guy made a non-sense move when he was 16, he was an established player in the SHL, yet moved down a league, then from the AllSvenskan straight up in the AHL. Doesn't seem too realistic.
Can you show me the career of Oleksandr Kulyk? |

IMO one of the big problems is that the prospects in the initial database are way too good. The drafts from 15-16 through to 19-20 are extremely strong.

What causes the crash? I did a historical from 31 to present and get a crash when I try to view the HOF. I can still sim forward and take other action but no HOF.

This is true, but also I think the game makes it too easy for juniors to play pro hockey. The two european guys the author posted the screenshots of had a seamless path of it.

Does not the "+/-"-stats work in leagues like SHL, Allsvenskan and other leagues?

Pretty cool post, thanks for that. Seeing the game work (almost) 100 years and don't go crazy is a good sign. Of course improvements can always be made, so feedback threads like this are very good for us!

Then he gets drafted, signs NHL contract, and either makes the big team and then gets sent down for seasoning or starts in the AHL after a decent camp and gets called up to fill a roster hole later in season. This is not a normal path, but not one too far from believable. A great talent gets stuck on a bad team. Could have been forgotten, but the scouts from the Caps found him. |

Still he signed with another team. A young guy like him should be renewed of his contract or at the very least sign with another team in the SHL. Then he played two full season in the AllSvenskan. No way a guy with this number, at his age, will not move to the SHL after first year in AllSvenskan.
Did you see Kulyk's career? It's even more unrealistic, if even possible. |

Without looking at all the players and making a chart of all their career trajectories, you cannot make a comment on whether it is too easy or hard to make a career in FHM 2. These seem to be the generational talents that had long careers. Sort of like Nick Lidström. His career is "too easy" considering he was on a middling Västerås IK squad in the SEL.
