Tactics Guide??

Herolover12 · 10-16-2022, 05:33 PM

I am looking to pickup FHM9 when it comes out.
But I am not a huge hockey fan and do not know much, or anything really, about hockey tactics.

Is there a good place to go to find out what kind of players I should put on what line or....well...how to set my tactics and strategy?

PS: I have older versions of FHM, but haven't played it for a while. Looks like they have done a lot of good work.

Some good discussion on it in this thread, plus links to some helpful info.

Feel free to DM me. I love talking tactics and don't mind giving you some pointers. But the reply above is a really useful link.

I won the cup in FHM 6 my very first time playing this game, in the 1st season and I never touched tactics.

So much so, that since I just sim games, I dump the points from in game adjustments, I don't know if that hurts me or not.

I did play several seasons where, before every game in the playoffs, or series since I never saw the AI change their tactics, change my tactics to beat theirs. It didn't seem to make much difference.
