First of all, this game is absolutely worth it. As a huge hockey fan that has been stuck with EA NHL's franchise mode for years, HLM has brought GM Mode to a whole new level. The fact that you control literally every aspect of the league and play how you want to play is amazing. The developer can definitely raise the price imo because with EHM being out of the picture and well Franchise Hockey Manager not being the best, HLM takes the hockey Game of the Year for me every year. The fact you can also be commisioner and control as many teams as you want is a huge bonus for me. Thank you for all your hard work and looking forward to HLM 27!
As an avid Sports Management gamer since childhood (early 90s), I have a ton of experience with these type of games. I have to say that I absolutely love this game and would recommend it to any Management fan. I've put almost 100 hours into this in the last couple weeks and just cant get enough of the game. Only suggestions I would give the developer is to possibly add tactics in the future. And make All-Time stats a lot easier to find and comb through. My favorite part of management games is being 20-30 years into a file and being able to look at all stats. Maybe something like Baseball Mogul where you can export a save encyclopedia? At any rate, this game/series is awesome and I would definitely say to give it a try. You can also play on Mobile and chromebook.
A comunidade fez um bom trabalho ao adicionar as ligas. Falta ao jogo uma atenção nas ligas de desenvolvimentos e ligas com promoção/rebaixamento.
A great price with a much smoother layout and engine than its competitors.
Better than NHL 26
it's really really good
Для всех любителей НХЛ. Отличный симулятор лиги.
Fun game and makes you realise how hard it it to truly make a dynasty!
goated game
If you lack of PS or Xbox and long some hockey game, Hockey League Manager could be for you. The game itself has no real players but you can have them within seconds downloading from the game community. Comparing to Eastide Hockey Manager, HLM provides almost the same for way less prize. Become GM of you favorite NHL club and lead it to the cup. Minor leagues are also available and abroad leagues too. Are you Czech like me and wants to try the Czech club? No problem. It is also possible to play on PC/Android/iOS and manually share the progress through platforms. --- 9/10
