If you've always enjoyed franchise mode in NHL and wanted to dip a little deeper into it, this is the answer. For me FHM could never quite scratch the itch the way EHM does. Someone asked why I have so much playtime and no review, so here my 2 cents after 2k hours. The UI is a little daunting early on but it's a similar learning curve to a complex 4X strategy game, once you put in a bit of time navigating becomes easy. Very good granularity on the level of control you have (can choose whether you or the computer via the head coach controls the bench during games, runs practice, chooses lines and chooses tactics). Scouting is extremely deep with the depth of leagues included. Can GM a team in virtually any league you can imagine (results may vary on compatibility, sometimes smaller leagues can be wonky). As far as I'm concerned Workshop is an absolute MUST. The TBL/Premier Pivot rosters are kept up to date at various points in the season (free agency, start of season, trade deadline, end of season, etc) by a dedicated community team with current players and youth/prospects being updated. The face and logo packs bring the UI and feel of the game to life, and adding in pictures yourself for coaches, team splash screens and pages really ties it together. The commmunity on the EHM Blueline site is extremely supportive, if you have a question there's a good chance it's already been answered somewhere on there, you can even find your way into an online league if you're feeling ambitious. This game is a community labour of love and there's a reason I play as much as I do.
Now, this is a game that no longer gets updates from SI. Hasn't in a long long time. But, the game is kept alive by the community. Roster updates, logos, facepacks and more all from the workshop. A great community driven game. This, despite being 10 years old, is way better than Franchise Hockey Manager. Only downside is that 2560x1440 displays are not supported, it will play in a window, you cannot fullscreen this game. But, it is still completely playable and fine.
This is the greatest sports sim game of all time. But if you want to play actual hockey, you're not gonna like it. Purely sim. But it is the best at what it does. Glad the community has continued to support it. I basically bought a laptop just so I could play this game on the couch.
The best hockey manager of all time, fhm sucks
Great to have run in the background while working...
I've played this game for 2,284 hours (I know some of it was being afk so that probably adds up to a couple of those hours) but I figured I finally made up my mind about this game. I truly love Eastside Hockey Manager. Now I could list all the things I wish were better, fixed, or added, but all-in-all this is exactly what I want from a "GM Mode" game. The roster mods and additional programs like EHMAssistant and EHM Editor have kept this game fresh from year to year and keeps me coming back. I don't know how many releases Franchise Hockey Manager has had yet, but EHM still has them all beat. I wish we could get more updates for this game, but even if we didn't I'll keep playing and recommending it to hockey fans.
Has this absolutely game breaking bug that won't allow you to start your 2nd season. Ive tried every single tip and advice to get through it and it doesnt work. massive shame because its a great hockey sim. best on the market (for a single season)
5/5
Great to become addicted to hockey game.. :)
THIS GAME IS UNPLAYABLE! I come back to this game every now and then and always encounter the same kind of errors, the game always crashes at a certain set date during every playthrough and therefore the game is unplayable! The game is dead and will never be fixed. Just don't play this game. It's unfortunate that there aren't any good hockeysim alternatives made by a dedicated team of developers with their primary focus on THAT game because the FHM series doesn't cut it. The only solution is a new and improved detailed game with the same mechanics and frame as EHM , with better design and without disk dependancy.
