There's a "Release Players" button on the team edit screen that will do that.

Is there something I can do in the interim? Because... This game is kinda stuck there.

Split the WCHL into two divisions using the league structure editor (the historical setup would be Vancouver, Victoria, and Seattle in one division, and everyone else in the other one.) That'll give the playoffs the structure it needs to work.

They should work just like the player files do. If you go to the staff edit screen and try to import the .fg file via the Picture Menu's Import PhotoFit file option, does that work?

Does this mean the watch list is supposed to be in priority sequence? As in, first added = first scouted?

I have just completed my NHL clubs pre-season schedule and am ready to start the regular season. Before doing so I went back to review the Supplementary Player roles for my starting roster and noted that the option to change these roles has been greyed out.

Is there only a certain timeframe within the game when these can be changed?

Cheers!

I'm hoping to play with the 2012 Montreal Canadiens. Is it possible to set the 2013 draft to have a random draft class of unknown players? I like the randomness of future drafts that we see in the game as opposed to historical drafts

or
Would it be possible to play in 2021 and switch the '21 Montreal roster with the '12 roster?

If either option is possible can someone walk me through the steps

Is it possible to increase the clock speed in classic game mode (not 2D)? In my memory it was faster in FHM 5 and 6 and it went slower since FHM7. I use the setting very fast and it still feels slow.

Still not working. Here is the WCHL setup. I've set the WCHL by divisions and not conferences, exactly as you suggested.

Can't copy/paste gfs, but I got seminals and finals at Best of 3. No "text" in either boxes, or any other boxes. Playoffs are named WCHL playoffs.

By the way, is it possible to get rid of the NHL draft in a Standard Game? (it appears to be impossible to do so directly, though I wonder if it can be done indirectly, such as setting the minimal age higher than the maximal age, or setting the minimal age at something like 23).

Only during the offseason or preseason, if I remember correctly.

Nothing's been changed in the classic mode in 8.

Not possible to get a random draft class like that.

If you start a game in 2021 and use the July 1 start option and turn commissioner mode on, you can import the 2012 Montreal team (on the league edit screen, structure tab) and delete the current one (you may want to retire all their players, which is an option on the team edit screen, first. Otherwise they'll all become free agents when you remove the team.)

Sorry, I was wrong, it needs a two-conference setup, not divisions. Set up a second conference and move those teams to it and you'll be able to continue, I just tried it.

Does "training" only apply to players on your active roster? Or, if you set someone's training and send them to a lower league (e.g. Junior B in my case), will it just develop different player attributes at random?

With the Junior B team, that's in a nonplayable league, so they'll get a more generic development process. Setting their training and then sending them down won't have any effect.

Just a quick couple notes of 'wish list' stuff.

While there are more games player per U15 and U18 leagues, I am still seeing a low amount of games played for international U15 and U18.

Players you move down should continue to improve at a position you changed them to. In theory you are still influencing development of the player.

What does player controversy mean? I had a WHL player win the player's vote at mid-season twice. He was a 3rd liner with nearly no significant impact.

It did work as intended... But there was no Staley Cup final (and if there was, I completely missed it, which shouldn't have happened because my team won the NHL Finals.

I've searched everywhere, probably staring me in the face - How do you view the HOF?

Near the bottom of the World menu.

Any chance a season goal total can be added after a players name in the goal pop-up when they score? It would really be nice for those of us who play out the games to see how many they have total.
