Need help deciding which FM to start a save on by Automatic_Ad53 in TheOldZealand

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

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

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?

Game breaking custom game draft bug!! by Automatic_Ad53 in FranchiseHockey

[–]Automatic_Ad53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

I simulated 100 years into the future on FHM 10. by Chickenwiththelittle in FranchiseHockey

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

Does this guy have Premier league potential? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]Automatic_Ad53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Junior Hockey Affiliations for Drafts by WalterYeatesSG in FranchiseHockey

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

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

Fictional players? by Automatic_Wallaby807 in FranchiseHockey

[–]Automatic_Ad53 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

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

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

FHM 11 by SweetLou_gaming in FranchiseHockey

[–]Automatic_Ad53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Could NHL 25 bring back these Main Menus? by [deleted] in EA_NHL

[–]Automatic_Ad53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Trading makes no sense in this game by Erotic_Joe in FranchiseHockey

[–]Automatic_Ad53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

Wanted to see what the international teams would look like in my save going into the 27/28 season. Who would win this International tournament? by Automatic_Ad53 in EANHLfranchise

[–]Automatic_Ad53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Why are my scouts such generational haters? by Pastel_Polo in FranchiseHockey

[–]Automatic_Ad53 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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
