Prompt 2:
I think FHM through it's many faults does simulate real hockey well enough, the better teams usually win and the difference in skill between players is very noticeable. That being said, one of it's main faults is that it's boring. There are rarely big upsets and underdog stories like the Blue Jackets sweeping the Lighting (unless you're Maine trying to face Newfoundland). Occasionally you get the games where teams get "goalied" where the team that's greatly outshot ends up winning but that also happens in real life every once in awhile (see the VAN-TOR game from a few weeks ago). On top of that FHM has basically been solved by a select number of people which makes for a lack of parity and makes it even more boring. I think the best way to improve FHM is honestly to just switch to FHM 8, I don't know the programs all that well but people seem to like the new features that the new game adds.

I would start by switching the goalies on the opposing teams. Actually, let's take a step back. First, I'd script in a command that allows me to play positional players in an opposing team's net. Then I would select the highest TPE player and throw them in there. While that may seem counterintuitive, it's actually a great plan. You get rid of a team's biggest threat, by keeping them at the other side of the rink. In addition, the player doesn't have any goalie skills so it would make it difficult for that player's skills to translate into being a goalie. Next, I'd put in some code that allows me to play a goalkeeper as a positional player. I would then slot that player as the team's first choice centre on offence and all special teams lines. For the same reason as before, this goalie would have no positional player skills, which effectively wastes a player on the ice for the other team at all times they're on the ice.

Prompt 1:

This is a tough one. I want to do part of a prompt one and change some and on the other hand let AI just do its thing and it even for all players. If I were to change something I would try teams that tend to be very offensive by build and make them defensive playstyle and same for defensive teams make them offensive. It would frustrate those building scorer and shock those who are grinders now scoring goals. There is also a change I swap lines and see worst players usually on line 3 or 4 go to line 1 and 2 TOI and same for top lines becoming 3 and 4 with less TOI. It would all be a huge test to see what would happen for a season but then I would just let it go and see AI take over. You can say it would be even and make teams want to recruit balanced players and it would even out those team who cant keep a GM to be a little more even to those teams who have a really knowledgeable GM. This would be a really fun mix up from your average sim.
