EHM The Blue Line

How to start a new game playing as the GM of Belarus national team with the following coaching personnel:

-me as the GM
-Curt fraser head coach
-Glen Hanlon assistant coach
-Vladimir Tsyplakov assistant coach
-Eduard Zankovets assistant coach

At first I wanted to hire those four guys on the appropriate roles in BLR nat team with pregame editor. But it's impossible to assign a staff member to any national team in the editor. Well, I can make them just free agents with the editor and afterward just sign them in the game while starting my BLR GM career. But even if I can somehow signTsyplakov and Zankovets, I will never persuade Hanlon. The position of Curt Fraser is unclear in the game as well. Being GM/Head coach I can't sign him nor fire as he figures as BLR national team GM (!)



meanwhile



Any idea guys?

Unfortunately, EHM doesn't get that deep with international management. All you can do is deal with the players and lineups.

Whether the editor can do something, I don't know... but I doubt it can if SI didn't code any support for international staff.

I guess the argument is that the country's hockey association has a big say in which staff are hired and so perhaps that's one reason why they didn't introduce the ability to hire/fire staff. Everyone works in the national team for a fixed period of time and then leaves - rather than the GM having a big say how/when staff leave.

National teams also have a ridiculously high "reputation/standing" or something in the game. You can sign almost anyone who is a free agent as head coach or assistent coach for even small countries. There is no way NHL head coaches would coach Denmark etc. in real life, but in the game - no problem, where do I sign?

Also, you can offer almost as much money as you wish - as if national hockey federations are big multi-million dollar corporations.

However finally I have signed Zankovets (BLR) as coach assistant.

So why couldn't Hanlon coach Denmark if he coached Belarus in real life which has approximately same level of play as Denmark has

Actually, what I heard, Hanlon coached Belarus for free, with no pay, simply for "love of the game". In another words isolated incident, rare case
