FHM 3 - Feature wish thread

[Sebastian Palkowski]

Sorry for the late answer, we are hard at work for FHM 3.

Of course it would be a dream to have an official NHL license at some point but there is so much involved (money the biggest part) that it is hard to tell when the right moment is.

What about an 'offer to all' option where we could offer our players out to everyone in the league and they can come back to us with offers. I'm sure that was available in one of the ootp baseball games its also an option in EHM.

That´s something I throw around in my head for some time now. Since our main focus for FHM 3 is career play and immersion it would fit in perfectly and make the user job much easier. So I hope to find some time somewhere and add it to the game.

Any chance you can obtain the real teams/logos and license like OOTP17 this year?

The first part of your post is exactly our main focus for FHM 3 (and it will continue to be the main focus for the next few versions). We added kind of a career mode to the game and we do everything to make the day to day sim much more fun, work on the immersion and so on. This will be a longer process, as we just don´t have the same resources as e.g. FM but we will use most of our time on this part to make it as strong as possible.

For the second part, right now this is not to high on our list. We want to re-structure the lower (non-playable) leagues in the near future (which includes NCAA) to get them better mirror reality but college recruiting is not on our list at the moment (other things are much more important first ).

I would really love to see a career focus. I recently purchased Football Manager, despite strongly disliking soccer, and have played more hours on that than FHM2 by far because I find the career focus to be so fun. Trying to build a reputation as a manager/coach, ways to develop my attributes, interest from bigger teams, starting small and really building up. I think that is a load of fun and would love to see a career mode taking a coach/GM from a place like the NAHL/etc up through NCAA/CHL and into the NHL. I also love NCAA games because of the recruiting process - and would love to see recruiting implemented - whether that is the ability to take a prospective free agent signing around the community (Hard for an NHLer to turn down a California team after walking around the rink in shorts in December) or an actual college recruiting mode. My favorite part of these games is getting the chance to take something and build it up into a powerhouse. That hasn't really been a part of past FHMs, but is a key feature in every one of my favorite games of all time.
Break a leg, and thanks for all the work you do!

Yeah, at that time I was not able to say anything. We worked over a year to get the deal done.

Multiplayer Mode is a must-have.
I'd like to control a Franchise which nowadays includes hiring coaches/scouts for minor league teams and so on.

Gotta quote myself. Just read on the official Forum that it's called hot seat, so i'd change my wish to hot seat. Having control of more teams, a whole franchise system would be genius! That's how the NHL works and so should (?) FHM3

This game has the same kind of annoying thing that ehm has... Talking about buying players when you play in smaller league like finnish Liiga. the conversations with players are bad and needs to be taken onto the next step--->football manager offers a good example. Then I would like to see an option to loan player option(could be like 1 or more games or on a monthly basis). There should be an option to make deals with new players so that they would join your team after that current season you are playing if you want. Would make the building your next season tema much more realistic. and last thing that came onto my mind after my first couple of hours playing:) You should be able to move players around with your main team and deserve teams and that is something that I couldnt do when playing finnish Liiga.

P.S. oh well still one more thing:) would love to get better tools to find and scout players.. Like if you could search players for their favourite roles or pfysical atributes like height or weight.

Sorry about my bad english
