THIS ANSWER IS IN RESPONSE TO PROMPT UNO, ALSO KNOWN AS THE FIRST PROMPT (if you can believe it)

So, you are telling me that I have the power of the sim in the palm of my hand? And I can shape it however I please? And no one will be the wiser? Slap some gold horns on my head and call me Loki - I'm about to prank some fellas.

I think the first thing to change would be each team's goal horns. Obviously the GMs would pick up on how their song/horn isn't playing, but then they'd blame it on the CPU. In reality, it was me who changed the Platoon goal song to Hodor's death rattle from HBO's "Game of Thrones"! I'm a snakey boy.

Another simple but effective alteration would be to change each player's build into Juani Panda's build - let chaos reign as hits outnumber goals like rats outnumber humans.

Prompt 1

I guess I would try and take the most hands off approach as possible. I want the league to be as fair and un bias as possible. The one thing that would be nice with an all AI GM league is that no one GM can have more knowledge than another and no GM can run more test sims than the others. I would try to add at least some sense of the anything can happen on any given Sunday kind of thing. I get that the better team usually wins and that in the SHL, more TPE equals better team, but everyone loves an underdog winning every once and a while and everybody likes seeing the odd upset. So I guess that would be how I would take control of the league if given the chance add a little more uncertainty to the league, make every game really count. Let's see some miracle wins every once and a while like we do in the real world.

One thing that FHM does an awful job with is speed. From what I can tell, speed has a minimal impact on overall player performance in the sim. Power forwards do very well in the sim despite not having a speed over 16. This in a vacuum is fine, but what isn’t handled well is the fact that forwards with 18 or 19 speed see no real benefit from being significantly faster than most of the league. Tactics and strategies shouldn’t have a negative impact on how incredibly fast players perform as those players realistically should always have an impact on the game. Overall, I think FHM allows tactics to have too much of an impact over the success of teams. I think TPE levels should generally correlate to success, but some teams seem to have figured out a way to be successful based on predominantly on superior tactics. I would love to see an iteration of the league with AI generated lines and tactics.

I have seen so many times in FHM a goalie stand on their head and make 70+ saves in a game. IRL this happens like once every couple years but in my SMJHL career it happened 3 or 4 times against us and it's super unrealistic as that shit never happens in real life. Especially in a 3 period game. Not to mention the fact that normally on 70 shots we normally only scored 1 goal or so. So it was totally ridiculous. Some other things that don't happen in real life is that in FHM you can make a team of enforcers which can literally just bully teams into defeat. That shit worked in the 70s but in FHM 6 it is alive and well. And this isn't really sim relevant as much as it is just a general grievance I have with OOTP. If I'm playing a historical save there should be an option for dynamic team moves. This means that if a team that historically moved does well in the historical sim, they don't move. If they still do badly then they do move. I had a historical save I was running from the 70's into the 2000s and seeing The Jets move when they had Wayne Gretzky and 6 cups to their name was just so fucking cringe. Ruined the experience for me.

If im going to just make my team win all the time that would be kinda boring and the league would lose its appeal. I can use this power to make things a lot more interesting though. Randomly making a team a die hard goon squad would be hilarious. Players may even want to be traded there to get in on the action. Set another team to only shoot (wait is this sths) and nothing else and watch the confusion in chat as the shot counter hits 100 and nobody is hitting a damn thing. There is plenty of room to make fun narratives since everyone thinks its legit. Nerf the other teams and get a Cinderella run out of somebody like san fransisco. Have hamilton make it to the finals only to have them get completely undressed in a sweep by sfp. Wouldnt that be something. Of course i would give myself all the individual glory regardless. Gotta get this hair into the hall.
