Questions I have so far

[frank86]

I was a FHM 1, 3 and now I'm a FHM 5 player. I must say I like what I see so far from this game. I've played FHM 5 for 10+ hours so far and I've seen some issues or maybe things I did not understand how to fix it. So maybe you guys can help me with it!

-Save game : is it me or when I quit a game without saving and without advancing a day. It seems to save automatically. Lets say I want to do a test in my game of firing my head coach. Right after I hired him I quit the game and when I re-load this game the coach has been fired. Is there a way to disable Auto-save ?

In this same issue, lets say I start a game as GM + Head coach....Then I decide to hire a coach. The game change to GM only, witch is cool. The problem is if I after decide to fire the coach and Want to get back
with the coaching duty, I can't find a way to get back the control of the Lines. Only the assistant can do the lines


Commissionner mode : How does this works actually? When I go to the Edit button, I can't change anything(almost)...
I've tried it on July 1st and other day without success


Enable development : Whats this? If we disable it, does it means that the ratings will stay the same all season? All game?

At start of the game I've had a 5 star potential player that as drop to 4 star potential after 2-3 months of play....is this normal?
I mean its ok to drop potential over time but after 2-3 months seems short. Is morale have effect to the potential stars or the Talent stars? It would explain why stars are changing during season.


Continue button : When we click on continu, many time it does nothing, We have to check emails or delete All messages to change day by
clicking the Continue button


For the moment those are the issues Ive seen so far! On the other hand, trading is great, player development seems awesome and I like how we can manage the in-game settings!

1. File/Setup options, you can disable it there.

2. Is the box checked in Manager/Options?


3. I'm guessing yes...players would remain as they are.

4. That depends on how accurate the scouting was on the player and there are other factors such as playing time that may drop a player, though likely over time.

5. If you go into the Manager/Options at the bottom right corner, there's a box that you check when you want to exit auto play.

1- Even When I disable the Auto-save, the game save itself when I Quit FHM or when I go back to the start screen( it saves just after I click to load my game

2- The issue remains there. If you start the game as a GM + HC and then you decide to hire a coach and then release the coach. The Team Control setting for Training and lineup&tactics can't be changed in the Manager option( it says Assistant)


Thanks for the other answers! Any idea about commissionner mode ? I can't edit Contract, Attribute, Injury

can't edit numbers either. didn't try commissionner mode yet but unless I get an email for assigning number, I can't change a player's number.

In edit I have only found the prefered number, which does not always match the actual number. Also, I dont think that changing prefered number changes the actual number at all (which makes sense)

Go into manager options and check the commissioner mode box. Then you edit players attributes and such. You have to edit league rules and such on July 1. I have no idea about the GM/HC issue, because I always play as both.

You can change a player's number using the action menu to the right.

Can you expand in the NHL/AHL/ECHL right off the bat or do you have to wait a season?

You can only expand the NHL and it has to be on July 1.

Really hoping we can have minor league expansions in an update or in the next game.

Whenever you quit the game seems to save, it's seperate from the autosave function. What I do when I want to quit without saving is go to the task manager and close the game from there. That used to work in FHM 4 at least.

Not being able to take control of the lines of the team after firing a coach sounds like a bug, I'd report it in the proper subforum and include a save file for the devs to look at.
