I really enjoy Fhm7, but I think it could be even better
Especially the play in European leagues:
1) More transfers from AHL/ECHL to European leagues: Right now when you reach Year 8-9 or so in IceHL, EIHL or DEL, most of the import players are from other European countries. In real life especially those leagues' teams have at least 7-8 North American players on the roster. However in FHM players, who are solid in AHL/ECHL but not good enough to make the NHL (regularly), tend to stay in North America (a lot of times in the game they even prefer SPHL or Canadian senior leagues) too often instead of being interested to go to Europe.
So I would love for more North American players to go overseas, as I think now there is not enough transfers happening.
2) This is regarding only IceHL: Right now in FHM, Austrian players do not count as foreign players for teams from other nations, however in real life an Austrian player would be a import on a non-Austrian players.
Generally, I think it would be awesome if you had more customization options in regards to who counts as foreign player in a league and each individual team. (also in custom leagues)
3) More and better customization in Europe: The way you can customize the NHL with expansion etc. is awesome and gives the game so much life.
However, I would also like to customize Champions Hockey League (for instance set how many teams per league qualify, which leagues participate, also change format to have more/less teams etc.), expand some of the European leagues or even completely move a team to another league.
4) Assign/change farm and junior teams of European teams (this would be especially needed to improve KHL expansion).
5) Create Champions League(s) and have national teams in Custom Leagues. I think those two things are really missing to have a truly immersive experience with your custom universe. Having competions between the top teans from universe's leagues and having the best players represent their countries in world championships would be a huge addition to the experience.
Looking forward to fhm8, as I think generally this game is really improving from year to year
