FHM Beta v0.9.40 Released
- by archibalduk @ Fri Jun 14, 2013 10:22 pm
- The latest beta version of FHM is now available to download. The PC and Mac download links can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=113&t=11092
This week's update is quite a big update in that it includes a large number of bugfixes as well as proper scoring levels for the different leagues, a new retirement system, further improvements to non-playable teams/leagues, an improved commissioner mode and further improvements to player development and generation. The player pics are also apparently showing up in game again.
Over the coming weeks/months, the following things have been highlighted as being some of the areas that will be improved:
- Overhauling the game interface (including the match engine view)
- Fictional leagues
- AI player evaluation and roster management
- Additional improvements to player development and generation
- Online gameplay

1974 Database v2.0 Released
- by archibalduk @ Tue Apr 30, 2013 1:05 pm
- The second version of Nino33's incredible 1974 database update is now available for EHM. You can download it here: viewtopic.php?f=116&t=9915
This version is the culmination of 7 months' work following the release of version 1 last September. The changelist below provides an overview of what the update includes on top of the previous version. For a list of what was included in version 1, follow the download link above. If you have any questions or would like to give any feedback, please visit this thread: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7860&p=155278#p155278
I have added a screenshot gallery to Facebook in case anybody is curious as to how the game looks: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 2760794876
- Fixed a number of issues last fall after release (including deleting the remaining “weird names”)
- I've added the Draft info/NHL Rights and edited the PAs of all AHL players. Previously minor pro players all had a PA of -5 (max 100) and previously no minor pro players were connected to an NHL team
- Created hundreds of additional Major Junior players/staff
- Thanks to XenHL's efforts, added complete player history for approx 17 minor pro teams and added the non-NHL player history for about 15 NHL teams. Previously only NHL players had player history, and previously only NHL/WHA stats were entered (now Junior/College as well as Minor Pro player history is included)
- Deleted all modern players/staff (the default db has 43,711 players/staff, the 1974 db currently has 4,180 players/staff)All "modern" players and staff have been deleted! (the game does seem to create staff at start-up).
- Added hundreds of historical Swedes, Finns, and Czechs/Slovaks players! Work continues (still adding historical US and Russian players). Additional editing work (in particular PAs and OFF/DEF Roles still need review/editing)

Challenge #28 - The Buffalo Sabres!
- by bruins72 @ Fri Apr 26, 2013 8:06 pm

After our poll we had last week, it was pretty clear that you guys wanted to use the Buffalo Sabres in the post-trade deadline version of the TBL rosters. So here it is. The challenge rules are the same as the last time. It's always a good idea to re-read them just to be sure. Also, please be sure to use TBL Rosters 5.3d. This is the latest version of the rosters and it's got a draft pick issue fixed that definitely has an impact on this team.
All challenge discussion goes HERE!
Any questions about the rules and such goes HERE.

Trophies awarded for Challenges 23 - 26
- by archibalduk @ Wed Apr 17, 2013 9:33 pm
- Bonus points and trophies have been awarded for Challenges 23 - 26!
My sincere apologies for taking so long to award the points and trophies. Calculating the points for all of the different stats categories is an extremely time-consuming task. Previously Calv did this, but he's now busy with his doctorate. Therefore I've written a script to automatically calculate the bonus points, saving us a great deal of time. So from now on, points and trophies will be awarded far more quickly. 
I have listed below who finished in the top 3 for each season of the Challenges. Those listed below have also received their TBL Points and trophies. If you want to see how you did in each Challenge, you can do the following:
* Check the standings for each individual Challenge (click here)
* Check your Challenge history, listing your stats season-by-season (from the blue navigation bar at the top of the screen, hover your mouse over the 'TBL Challenge' menu and click on 'Your History')
* Check your Challenge ratings (from the blue navigation bar at the top of the screen, hover your mouse over the 'TBL Challenge' menu and click on 'Your GM Profile')
Without further ado, here's a run-down of who won what:
