With great Expectation hopefully I will finally be able to play a good Ice Hockey Manager again, I have installed the Game. Unfortunately, after just 2 Days I can say that these Expectations have been disappointed.
The Game is practically purely text-based. Beautiful graphic Elements, a neat simulation and Atmosphere in some Form you miss just like Sound, which simply does not exist. Even the textual Representation is greatly improved. Also otherwise, the only Positive Thing about the Game is the Fact that it uses the original Player names. But why then, for example, in Germany the Team names do not also vote, is disgusting to me. The Results are not comprehensible, as are the other effects that can be achieved very extensively. Mostly I won under the worst Conditions (Regular Player injured, strong Opponent) and lost in clear favourite Role. The Game doesn't even come close to living up to its Price. There are free Online Moters that have more to Offer in Terms of graphics and Fun.

After having spent several ends of evenings on OOTP baseball I had to try the other sports simulation of OOTP Developemnets. Hockey Manager franchise 3. Although at the beginning the game simulations seemed dull and less exciting than OTTP baseball, after some tests in LHJMQ and OHL, I recreated the epic of the Quebec Nordiques from the WHA to the NHL from 1974 to 1995, and now I continue with their moving to Colorado. Everything is in the historical mode or in the path to glory, you play the Manager, with the repêchages, the conposition of the lines, the exchanges, the autonomous players, etc. Hours of fun for hockey enthusiasts. I was able to recruit Lany McDonald in 1980 and exchange it against Wayne Gretzky at the beginning of his career so that he could evolve within the trio with Anton and Peter Statsny, 7 Stanley Cup results.
HIGHLIGHTS immense historical data base on all players and teams in major or minor leagues all over the world since the years 1930 at least.
A hyperlink that allows to manage the multiple tables of the management of a hockey team.
Different and many game modes, career, season, playoffs, history, World Championships, Olympic tournaments etc..
Approved by the Association of hockey players NHLPA, but understands many European Leagues (KHL, Liga, AHL, etc...), North American.
Great statistical realism.
Many "mod" to add the photos of players, sweaters according to their years etc.
WEAKNESSES some historical bugs on the models of the series formats.
Far too many players decrease in value quickly with age contrary to what the players have been disregarding in real life, but we can change the parameter.
Description of the game in 2D, not interesting and long, it is better to simulate match per game.
Bought in a humble bundle for $3.00 CND, I recommend it to all lovers of the genre and hockey.
