Increase?? In my opinion there has been way too many injuries in FHM 7 and FHM 6 and it has ruined the game.

Not in my opinion. The game lack injuries compared to reality.

I noticed playing historical a lot that, if you have the injury setting as 'fewer', there are hardly any long term injuries (2-3 months or more). The problem is, if you leave it set to 'normal', there are way too many of the short term 10-day type injuries, which force you to have to mess about with your roster and line settings. Of course if you call up a replacement, the injured player immediately recovers, but can't play for 2 weeks due to the injury counter.
This quickly becomes rather tedious when it is happening every 2 or 3 games. The solution is to probably slightly increase the number of long term injuries, or to have separate settings for long term and short term. Also rather than 'normal, 'fewer' etc...it would be better to have a % setting , where normal is 100%. You can then adjust it too 50% or 300% depending on what you want.

Will there be any WHA teams (other than those which eventually joined the NHL) available in the 'Add an Historical Team' list? Currently in FHM7 there are only NHL franchises available. Also historical PCHL/WHL teams?

Also will it ever be possible to 'revive' a franchise created, but then later removed, with the 'Add a team' option, so franchise history/stats are maintained?

I don’t play historical but I assume the players durability ratings are more in line with reality since it’s data available on games played, etc. I would actually enjoy that level of managing injuries in the standard game. But it isn’t enough and a setting to add more to my preferences will serve that purpose.

Perhaps a hospital sim game would work for you?

I prefer a hockey game with realistic injuries.

Does anyone know if the "import picture" function is available on the Steam version? It's been gone since FHM5 on the web store versuion. I really miss making player pics like the attached.

redtiger7 · 10-24-2021, 11:19 AM

Can't you just save the pic in the player photo folder?

OMG, it's tough getting old. I guess I had the seniorist of senior moments.

It never even occurred to me to look for a work around when the menu drop down disappeared. Thanks so much for straightening me out.
