I really love this game, but it just haves one little problem... The match, that usually is the most fun part of a game like this, is the most boring part. I play in Finnish Mestis as Sport Vaasa, and the first games I watched and got wins like 3-1, but I got bored for that text, so i simulated (brain cant work) rounds? Sessions, you have three of those in a match... And I got something like 5-1 losses, now I put them play x6 speed on the background and watch Youtube, but I still get these 5-1 matches. Is there a punishment for simulating the matches on the background?
But still, love this game, just needs 2d matches.
Does FHM punish you?

Re: Does FHM punish you?
I can't speak from experience, but I have seen a number of complaints that the results seem to depend on your method of simulation. So, you may indeed be correct with what you're seeing.
As for 2D matches, I have to strongly disagree. A 2D match engine is a huge undertaking, which I believe took EHM a few years of dedicated behind-the-scenes development before it could be put into the game. And with that in mind, I think many would agree that FHM needs as much attention right now on the basics as it can get. I think it'll be, at the very least, three or four years before they can start thinking about a 2D match engine.

Yeah. But I still think that matches are way too boring, and the text wont tell about penalties, and I want to move the lineups, like I can move highlights

Re: Does FHM punish you?
Sorry..this is a SIM game. One of the things bout EHM that caused issues on boards like this was that they put TOO MUCH time into developing a 2D engine to watch the game because of the people who came over from things like EA Sports, NHL 2K etc.
The idea is...this is a SIM GAME. SIMULATION...based on stats, based on chance, based on abilities of players.
I get that watching the game is boring, but until ALL OF THE OTHER NUTS AND BOLTS are done the last thing we need is people asking for this game to look more like freaking EA Sports or even EHM 2D engine for in game.
It is a management game....
I can tell by watching and reading reports who is having a really bad game. I make changes and I do things (When I watch the game which is rare), to the lineup during games if I need to based off what the report says. Your giving the puck away? DOwn goes your ice time. YOur hitting everything that moves? Up goes your ice time.
IF I WANTED TO SEE THAT HIT AND SEE THAT GIVEAWAY...I would play EA Sports.
