Some question about Custom games

sgrondin98 · 04-20-2021, 06:53 PM

1- How can i add historical player in the incoming draft.

2- Can i have a custom playoff that 1st place will face 16 places , 2nd place vs 15 places etc....

3- I think you have max to 60x club in one league (2 Conférence with 2 divisions with 15 teams in each) but can i add team after the first season to have like 62-64-66 team ?

4- And finally every year you release an new game but is it possible to keep or save files and export it to the new Franchise every year ?

Thanx for your answer.

1-Historical players can't be added to a custom games.

2-Yes, use the "Custom" type with a start round of 16 teams and none of the options (Conferences Separate, etc.) selected.

3-Yes.

4-Yes, e.g. FHM6 saves can be imported into 7.

Thanx for all those answer.

For the first one i can add historical player but when i choose the player like Mario Lemieux he his not in the Draft he is in the free agent pool.

Which year are you importing him from? If he's too old/young, he won't be eligible for the draft.

Ok Im the season 26-27 and when i import him i change his anniversary date to get him at 17 or 18year old but hes still in the UFA pool.

He has a late birthday (after September 15), so he wouldn't be eligible for the next draft if he's imported as an 18-year-old, it would take him a year to become draft-eligible. He won't be signable until after that, he does import with his league rights set to "None", which prevents him from signing in that league.

Thanx for your answer.

I have 2 more question:

1- After season 1 i try to put more team (on 7 july) 60 at the moment but i try to put more team on my league and i cant. I can add divisions but cannot add team more then 60. So the max team in custom league is 60 ?

2- Can i be General manager for each team if yes how can i do that ?

Thanx again.

1. You can only add teams on July 1

2. If you go to the manger menu, click options and check the box next to "commissioner mode," you'll be able to take control of any team. To do that, go to the manager menu again, click "take over team" and right click on the team you want to take over

Thanx again

But for adding team i cant. I have 60 team league and i try to add more and i cant.

So thats why im thinking the maximum team i can have in a league is 60...

I like to have a league with about 100 teams

Adding KHL - WHA and more....

If you set it up to begin with, you can have more teams. I think the limit is around 60 though when you're just expanding.

Thanx i found to have more than 60
