What new features do you want to see in FHM9?

[hurricanekevin]

I'm feeling like this might be a bit too late for FHM9, but I'd love to see more historical data. An almanac style that lets you know all of the team's records, playoff appearances, and head-to-head in one place.

[Jahrenski]

I would like a few things :

1) Instead on trying every single teams, please give us a list of teams a player will be willing to not use their No Trade Clause. Pretty please!


2) An option to allow trades in multiplayer without having to switch to Joe Commish every time


3) Ingame documentation on the various stats and effects and how to improve them.



4) Not crashing the game when using notes on a player.


5) Not having all my star players injure themselves 2 days before the playoffs

[stlcardinals19]

Might be minor, but can you please add in a "Update All Players Pictures" option for like FaceGen players? It's what OOTP has, and I've always appreciated it

- The AI doesn't automatically reject longer term contracts, but much like most of the NHL, top players are going to consider not locking in long term until they get to FA.

- What type of game are you in where that happens? Because in a Standard game it works fine up until they'd be overage year, in which case they go to the AHL.

It is true that many prospects have half a star. However, I play a custom league with NHL, AHL and junior teams only. So there is no ECHL.


I dont see any options in the rules of my custom league to put the age limit of AHL players to, let say, 20.

I think you have to put them in bubble wrap for that!

Being able to edit the league at any point in the year, even if it doesn't go into effect until July 1st.

[ZBGuy]

I think all of this has been said before but allow me to echo, and most of these are concerning custom universes:

1) Fix the playoffs so that the games get staggered properly, not all games on one day and everyone having an off day the next etc.

2) Allow created leagues to be designated as generic leagues so that they don't have to have full rosters or be fully interactable etc. Would allow you to build a reasonably deep universe without having to worry about the Singaporean leagues being fully stocked, and would probably alleviate performance too.

3) Allow structures for college leagues, even if they're not playable yet. Or failing that, allow leagues to have more rules concerning age/eligibility so you can approximate a league for college players.

4) Custom international tournaments would be nice, even if one can't edit the current IIHF system just yet.

5) Perhaps the most longshot wish: Some kind of pregame data editor.

Really looking forward to what's coming up this year

# 1 As we have full control of your NHL team I would like a full control of your AHL and ECHL team.

#2 When playing the game live and watching it have control of decisions for your AHL and ECHL team.

#3. Trade offers- make an option for the computer team to counter an offer and let me know what players or draft picks can complete the deal.

Along with this, please give us the ability to have some negotiations without having to sim 4 days between offers too. Maybe some offers they say they have to think about it or if we go back and forth a few times they ask for time ti think but it's like I'm using the pony express to send trade offers.

1. Inter-league tournaments across all game modes
2. Customizable international tournaments across all game modes
3. Eliminate players agreeing to terms on contracts and then never signing
4. A better functioning or more realistic minor league system in historical mode. I’m understanding to the system being unplayable and stagnant for practicality purposes but it leaves so much to be desired without real leagues, levels, standings or awards.
5. Better AI decisions on goalies, particularly in the playoffs
6. Era-appropriate helmets and masks in player pictures
7. Medals on player profiles for all star appearances and ridiculous statistical accomplishments. Also apply achievement medals to staff profiles
8. In game jersey editing options
9. More functional options for the WHA in historical games where the league does not fold. (Waivers, waiver draft, Olympic participation, Iron Curtain rules, all star games etc all have given me issues upon implementation).
10. The ability to merge leagues.

Totally on board with both of these.

To be honest, I'm actually hoping for a total rework of the goalie system to make goalie ratings matter! It's very high on my Xmas list!!

Simple thing,

Stop putting ''FHM'' style foreign name. Dunno why for example, all Vitaly are Vitali in game. Have at least a respect for player's name and not making it in style. Will also help a lot to use their own spealing name instead of FHM decide to use to

[boscoJJ]

Also more Nations in Historical European Leagues,so we won't need to add languages to players created in commish in order for him to have stats

That's how EP spells those names, which it's IIHF guidelines. Now I can't find the IIHF original article and I don't have time nor energy to search for it, but here you have something similar: https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nh...PDaP3XqhldFk1z

Would be nice to keep the original coaching/misc ratings when choosing to play as a real or historical GM. Seems to always re-set them.

[jumpSeat]

If I could dream for a moment or two, it sure would be wonderful to be able to change the original league settings on an existing save. I'm talking about things like whether to draft players or just have them assigned to their original teams in historical mode.

I've got a well seasoned save where I'd love to make this switch, but alas the UI doesn't allow it.

Just another small addition to my nitpicks, can we also be allowed to add supplementary languages to a country's generated players? Like a majority of Scandinavian countries can speak English fluently, yet generated players or just players from there can only speak Swedish, Norwegian, etc...


1.) So like, you're in the Edit screen for a nation, like Finland


2.) You navigate to a subsection called "Languages", you see that the "Main Language" is Finnish


3.) And then you can hit a "+" sign and add other languages like English or Russian w/a number that represents how much of the country can speak that additional language


4.) Just going off of Wikipedia, it says that 70% of Finns can speak English, so you can type English in the "Language" box, hand then 70 in the "Percentage" box, and from then on 70% of generated Finns come out speaking English

Everything the hockey reference has!
Everything sortable and filterable and all history retained.
DOn't be like OOTPB and not track everything as simple as grandslams or inside park homer.
Glad work continues on the game
