Anybody have any good suggestions for a let's play FM3 series? Preferably someone who doesn't feel the need to read everything out (in particular, no silly voices). The only one I found like that stopped before they even left Japan in Alisa's story. I know the story inside and out, just would like to watch how someone else plays it.

Anybody have any advice for Canadian Juniors trades? I keep seeing the ai pull off absolute fleecings and I can't get a mid level player for multiple 1st rounders.

Is it just that my negotiating skill is garbage? Cuz it is, it's like my second season starting as unknown.

I'm not sure how feasible this is, but maybe before a player is drafted to the NHL, there could be a blurb for how they compare to other players in the draft at similar rankings? I.e. something between Michkov and Bedard about which one your scouts would rank higher and a reason, be that they are slightly more likely to reach their potential, or the positional needs of the team. I mean, obviously Bedard is gonna be number one anyway and I'm totally not biased because we share a last name at all.../s

Has anyone else noticed the AI is like a gd superhero on the pk sometimes? I just had 2 power plays in one game where the AI won the faceoff, carried the puck into my zone and kept possession for the full 2 minutes plus with that one guy no problem. I see AI pk's like that frequently. Has anyone else noticed this and/or have a solution I might be able to implement in my tactics that could help get me some damn power play goals?

I'm in the DEL and two of my best players are seemingly stuck on the international team. Like it's been a month since world juniors. Can't find a way to fix it even with commissioner mode. Am I just s.o.l. on them for now?

At what point do players lose the level of competition malus for training in the NHL? I have a couple players that are 2 stars in the NHL and have in their scouting report that they would be "solid players in the league" but when I go to the training screen they have a malus for level of competition still.

So I know some players already have inherent chemistry with family members, etc. I was thinking it would be cool if there was a way to implement characters having high chemistry with players they've never played with before. For example you wouldn't see it until they've played for a set number of games, but players could automatically have like good->legendary chemistry instead of having to go from none to limited and work their way up. It would be a cool way to add something you see in real world once in a while.

If I have a 2 star player that has a 19 or 20 in a role due to their stats being concentrated a little better, and a 3 or 4 star player who only had like a 12 in a role due to their stats being more spread out, it's better to play the 2 star guy and give him more minutes, correct?

Does anyone know the "rules" for gaining and losing line score for the pk? Just had a game where I was 100% in defense and even played 30 seconds on the pk and we shut out the other team. Lost all 430 pk line progress I had made. It seems completely random.

When playing the first season of a regular NHL playthrough, is there a bug that can cause the draft to not trigger?

Am I the only one who can't manually scout goalies? When I go to filter by position with all players selected, no goalies. When I select just goalies, all defensemen. Did somebody majorly mess up the search function in programming or do I just have a one of a kind glitch?

I'm in the ECHL GM'ing my hometown Adirondack Thunder (didn't even take them over through commish mode, got an offer) and I have my roster moves set to only be done by me, not the AI. I get some automated moves when AHL/NHL teams make moves, which I understand, but I just simmed from game one of my Kelly Cup Finals to game two and it did a bunch of demotions with no notifications, sending 4 of my dressed players down. This is super frustrating. Is there any reason for this? In the playoffs there is no roster limit.
