I would for sure. It would add something I have never had to a sports manager simulation.Crankshaft wrote:So I gave in and got the beta. Once this thing gets going, would anyone be interested in having an online league? Maybe do a smaller league/fantasy draft?

I've done one of those before. It's pretty fun until you need to figure out what players' trade values are (I was on the bad end of a few "even" deals made before the season started). Would probably do it again given the chance.

Since we can create leagues, if we can get ~8 players, everyone can create his or her own team to play.

Re: Franchise Hockey Manager (PC/MAC) - Open Beta
Did they ever fix the ratings? Example: Malkin being 3.5/5 stars?

Really digging this, now that it's out of beta. Rating system is much better than beta, too.
Still kind of quirky. When simulating a season, everyone is trade-happy.

I'm pretty sure you can customize the trade-happiness of the game.Crankshaft wrote:Really digging this, now that it's out of beta. Rating system is much better than beta, too.

Man, I wished they still made the NHL series for PC. This is pretty close, as I really like the GM side of things.

Re: Franchise Hockey Manager (PC/MAC) - Open Beta
This is available on Steam for $20 as of today. Anyone that's been playing a while have impressions of the current build? Beta impressions seemed somewhat mixed, so I'm curious if this is a "must buy", or just a "meh"?

It's alright. If it was cheaper than maybe. It has some serious flaws that a management sim can't have. Maybe in time, but even $20 is too much..

I agree with this. I've been pretty disappointed in this Sim.Rylan wrote:It's alright. If it was cheaper than maybe. It has some serious flaws that a management sim can't have. Maybe in time, but even $20 is too much..

Well, that's disappointing.
Am I correct in thinking that, since EHM went under, there is no currently developed alternative out there? I still miss my APBA Hockey for DOS.

Re: Franchise Hockey Manager (PC/MAC) - Open Beta
For example, if you have the current roster with the Pens, you are way over the salary cap. It automatically sent all my guys to waivers. Not just 1 or 2...but all of them. So, after that my #1 center was Jayson Megna. LOL.slappybrown wrote:What flaws in particular?Rylan wrote:It's alright. If it was cheaper than maybe.
