July 2020

Franchise Hockey Manager 6 is a good hockey sim game but, It's really nothing special. I would recommend Eastside Hockey Manager over this 9/10 times. I mainly bought this game for two reasons; the expansion draft and the summer sale and I'm really happy that I bought it when it was on sale because this is not a $45 game. It's not that the game is bad or anything, it just lacks that quality I would expect from a $45 game. Although my expectations may be higher than they should because I played Eastside Hockey Manager, the controls and menus are just not up to par, although the official NHL licensing is a nice touch. If you are new to the franchise like I was, the menus can be super confusing as there are just way to many menus and features with way to little direction. I'm not saying the amount of menus is a bad thing as I like to have as much information available to me at once but, at least give me a tutorial or something so I can learn the menus myself. Another major issue that prevented me from enjoying the game to its full potential are the player ratings. Although, about 70% of the ratings are fine, the other 30% were completely unrealistic and incredibly stupid which caused me to spend 30 minutes fixing all of them before actually being able to sit down and play the game. Overall, it's not really that bad of a game once you get used to it and I'll probably be going back to play it some more but, if you are planning on buying this game, I would recommend you buy it when it's on sale as it's really not worth its original price.

Recommended -- but with a caveat. I grew up playing Strat-O-Matic hockey and as such there are certain things I want in a hockey sim. Those things help determine my judgment. FHM6 is much better for those players who don't want to coach and would prefer to sit upstairs in the press box and watch the action. But I do want to coach, so that knocks an otherwise fine game down a peg or two. There just aren't enough options to actually coach a team. If you want to trade and sign players, throw them out there and watch them play, this is definitely the game for you. But if you're looking for more intimacy -- that is to say, making actual coaching decisions such as matching lines rather than expressing a percentage of ice time and waiting for an RNG to match for you, putting the hot players out on a power play or the cold ones just on a hunch, deciding whether to put out a tired checking line for one more late faceoff in the defensive zone or putting out fresher legs when you're trying to hold a late lead in the last minutes -- well, you can't do that yet. And for me, that's where FHM6 lacks. There's no soul in it, which you'll understand if you've spent hundreds of hours playing Football Manager, FHM's sister game Out of the Park, or most other sports management sims. You don't feel like you're there -- yet. My hope is that it will come, because if it does, the game in future versions will be truly special. That's because this game, statistically, is every bit as good as OOTP, a game I've played for some years. You can start at any point in history, play any way you like with whatever rules you like, and you can watch history re-created. That has immense appeal to me and this game absolutely does that. Technically, there are rough edges. The interface is not exactly intuitive, there needs to be an in-game tutorial to explain how player practice works among other things, and in general, the game needs to appeal to the fan who wants to feel like he's next to the ice. Better hands-on control of teams would do that for me, and I suspect for a lot of other hardcore puckheads as well. It's good. I hope it will get better. But for now, there is still room to grow. Keep at it. This is a game I want to really love.

You know what, I've been very negative about the whole Franchise Hockey Manager franchise for a long time. The first FHM was a good starting point, the sequel offered excellent upgrades, but everything from FM3 onwards has been data updates at best. I even requested a refund for FHM4, and skipped FHM5 completely. I have never played OOTP, because I am not a fan of baseball, nor would I understand the tactics or the trading, or any of the players, but can see just by looking how much depth and how much effort the team put in to listen to community input, to make the best possible baseball game out there. Having said all this, FHM6 just feels that much more stable and dare I say it, fun. I am the sort of player who builds a team and skips days at a time, just looking back at the results and box scores, but with FHM6, I am finding myself actually watching and engaging with the text commentary and not trying to rush through seasons at a time, to see how certain players develop and who will be a bust/success etc. I am actually trying to actively build a roster for the future and understand that it isn't easy to win a Stanley Cup, nor is it easy to juggle the confines of the salary cap. I don't think I even went into this much detail and planning with other hockey games. There is so much more this game could be, there is so much more I would like to see implemented into this game, but that's for the future. For the first time since FHM2, I am confident that the development team will deliver on its promise to make the best hockey simulation game out there. For now, this is actually a really good game and I highly recommend.

Oct. 2019

OOTP continues to add more features to the FHM franchise making it still one of the best manager sims for hockey out there (EHM probably still edges it out at this point). My biggest complain with this series is probably the fact that there is no 2D representation of the games going on for simming. Text is fine and all that but having a 2D representation at least would let me know which players are actually doing their job well. Another big one will probably be scouting\when the draft happens. It be great if we had a break down of each scouts personal rankings of each prospect.

Oct. 2019

I have bought this game since FHM, 2,3,4,5 and now 6 and this feels like the biggest jump between versions. my favorite feature is the weighted ratings based on current and past 2 seasons giving a more organic feel. The sim speed is work well, the stats are accurate overall team proformance is where real life would be. I really like that the draft produces the correct amount of players that make it. Wish list: a option to customize the screens where you can include Ratings and stats a diamond or bust rating after the draft where 1st rounders were over hyped and 5th rounders under hyped maybe a draft timer put a little extra pressure when picking and UFA signings, I tend to get the top guy alot, I wish there was a little more struggle. Love the game and recommend it. GREAT JOB GUYS!
