I have the latest patch, trying to set up a American League exhibition game, but not able to. Any tips, please? Thank You.

Is there the ability to invite players to camp or does the players have to be signed still to attend training camp

Seems to work fine when I try it. What's going wrong when you do?

NHL teams (or the top-level league in a custom game) are able to invite unsigned players to camp.

New to the game (and to hockey). Really loving it so far, if not a little overwhelmed by all the details!

I was wondering, under the 'Manager --> Search Screen' (assuming this is the most efficient way to scour the entire league player pool, would it be possible to ever add a feature that allows for searching by player role with a minimum attribute threshold? For example, I want to build my defence with Mobile defencemen but currently I have to note down their key attributes and then re enter them with whatever threshold I want one by one. If there were a drop down or selection option for the player role and then the ability to just entire the lowest threshold I wanted across all the attributes then it would auto populate from there? No worries if not, I know they have something similar in Football Manager so thought i'd ask on the off chance it was doable!

Also would love to see something like the ability to request what you're looking for in return when shopping a player as someone else mentioned previously and also the 'make this trade work' button as Jeff had hinted at in a response!

Cheers!

I reloaded the update and everything is working fine now. I think maybe some of the download was messed up by my security software. Thank You.

When you're on a screen, in the top right hand corner you should see a little Magnifying glass with search bar. Don't type anything in and click on on the magnifying glass instead.

From there, you'll get to a long list of players. FILTER as you want.

I started an historical game seaon 1989-90 and on draft day there is no more player to draft at round 10. (There's 12 round)
Stuck, need suggestions
Date is 3rd of July 1991

boscoJJ · 12-01-2021, 08:58 PM

Is there still plans of options for adding Unplayable Leagues in Custom saves?

The draft will end once it runs out of picks. If you're finished drafting, just select "pick until human team" and it'll complete.

Possibly, but there doesn't seem to be much demand for it, particularly relative to other things we could add to custom mode (like international play.)

Thanks Adam, that's a useful tip. Do you know if its possible/are there any plans to add saveable custom search filters? This would save a lot of time I think

Whitebear · 12-02-2021, 09:14 AM

Yes, that's what I just did! Thanks
Great job BTW you got me hooked since FHM 7, looking forward to V9!

If you check out the real draft at the time, only one or teams even bothered to draft that late. Hence them later reducing the draft rounds in later years

I just started a game and the Moncton Wildcats (QJMHL) are in the Western Division :|
(They should be in Maritimes)

Also the Gatineau Olympiques arena hasn't been updated.

Pilsette · 12-02-2021, 10:25 PM

How can I change Team Logos after game start? In the middle of the season for example.

However,the major leagues can't provide much players for International play,hence the need for Generic Leagues for Generating Players from elsewhere,especially in Custom mode

TheAlaskan · 12-03-2021, 10:28 PM

Not really a quick question, just a wish list to add an option to determine what I see while simming.

E.g. Team Standings, Player Standings, Division Standings, Conference Standings, League Standings, Playoff Tree, Game Box Scores, Player Cards, etc.

Right now I don't enjoy seeing box scores while simming during the playoffs - I'd rather have the option to see the playoff tree. Just a personal preference.

Yeah, someone just pointed out the Moncton thing in another thread, I'll get both of those fixed for the next update.
