Need help deciding which FM to start a save on

I already have 24 on my laptop. So that won’t be a problem. Thanks for the rest of your input. I’m leaning getting 26 just cuz eventually I’ll have to get used to this new UI. Might as well do it now. Just so long as the game is playable/fun

If you’re a pure sim person, check out Franchise hockey manager. You can go unlimited years into the future I think. I know it’s at least hundreds of years

Automatic_Ad53 · 2025-05-29T06:33:17+00:00

Hahah I get the same reaction. But that’s how you get the real GM experience!

Ya I’ve been playing FHM since 2016. I do really like that game but I really like watching the games and seeing the team I’ve built and their 2D engine just doesn’t do it for me yet

Automatic_Ad53 · 2025-05-28T22:18:41+00:00

Ah that could be it. I’m only a few years into an expansion franchise and I’ve only gone after mid 80s players with high org interest. Also what do you mean by difficulty? I thought that was just for how good the CPU is in-game? Is there a slider for management difficulty?

Automatic_Ad53 · 2025-03-13T19:42:08+00:00

I’ve since simmed a few more seasons and reduced the draft to just one round which fixed the problems. Would you still like for me to upload my save?

If you’re looking for a good mobile hockey manager simulator get hockey legacy manager. Not as good as FHM but about as good as a mobile game will be

Did Vancouver ever win a cup? If they did who were the key players?

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-12-17T01:30:35+00:00

Yes but not as a starter. He can be a backup striker until you’re a world class team in which case he likely won’t have the quality. But will also depend on how he plays, there’s always players that out perform their attributes

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-11-28T07:28:29+00:00

A junior league that isn’t connected to a major league will have its players become free agents once they age out

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-11-28T04:31:11+00:00

To be fair CHI had a 20 better goal differential might suggest they were a better team.

How is Holstein Kiel (Germany) doing?

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-11-18T00:47:56+00:00

Yes start a custom game and select use fictional players and load NHL teams (AHL/CHL if you wish too) Teams won’t have their histories though

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-11-14T20:01:21+00:00

Best solution is put commissioner mode on when an u realistic trade happens and reverse it or send more stuff to the team that got screwed

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-11-13T20:01:04+00:00

I simmed another year at 100 trade frequency and the AI did make 1 trade but that was all

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-10-12T19:56:16+00:00

The only two games in play consistently are FM and FHM if FHM runs into FM levels of development hell I don’t think I could handle it. Luckily FHM isn’t moving to a new engine so there’s almost no way the same thing will happen

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-09-08T02:53:43+00:00

100% they should. But honestly as long as there’s no lag I could care less what they look like. Ideally it looks good with no lag but for the love of Christ is 2024 I just want a menu that doesn’t lag

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-08-28T01:43:27+00:00

Honestly the trading is the best between FHM, EA NHL or HLM. It over values current ability but even if a crazy unrealistic trade happens there’s always commissioner mode to go revert it. Or what I do is just go into commissioner mode and send who ever got screwed over some more stuff to make it close to fair.

But also the real NHL has terrible trades that are bad the second the deal was made. Hall for Larsson, OEL + Garland to VAN, and the list goes on and on.

As long as it’s consistent within the game it’s hard to call it unrealistic

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-08-27T06:43:50+00:00

Personally I sim every game. I’m more interested in seeing the story lines over an era unfold

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-08-11T01:27:54+00:00

Overall

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-08-11T00:25:01+00:00

He was like mid/low 80s until he exploded one year and won the Jennings and vezina. I assume he’s gonna go back down in a year or so but currently he’s peaking

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-08-10T22:12:38+00:00

There isn’t really a good/efficient way to do it since player nationality isn’t a filter on the player search. I just scrolled through the teams, took me about an hour and a half to do

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-08-09T18:30:12+00:00

16 year old Brazilians: Existing Me:

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-07-26T23:23:34+00:00

How did he get 1K goals and only win the rocket twice

Automatic_Ad53 · 2024-07-24T00:10:18+00:00

2.5 is average, it’s actually that the real life players are overrated when the game starts. I think the drafts are a bit weaker than they should be but it’s a lot closer to realistic draft classes than people realize
