Franchise Hockey Manager 2 Review (PC/Mac)

03:17 PM - October 13, 2015 by RaychelSnr

Franchise Hockey Manager didn’t have the best start last year. The hockey management text-simulation certainly showed promise -- and after a major update was much better -- but it ultimately fell short of its initial promise.

The game, developed by the same company which produces Out of the Park Baseball, decided to take a new look at several aspects of how it does things. Taking a cue from Out of the Park Baseball, much of the game will be familiar to veterans of that franchise.

The interface has been cleaned up (and it looks a lot more like the other OOTP text-sim), and more importantly, the game experience has been refined, which leads to a better overall experience over last year’s game.

Is there a demo available? Shelling out $40AUD is not something I take lightly for unpolished games.

Nope, no demo.

I have the Steam version and its much better than the first FHM; however, there is still a lot of room to grow. With that said, the developers and producer are very active on Steam and the OOTP forums.

My biggest concern is the simulation engine. An upgrade from last year, but still needs a lot of work. I've seen goals in the first 3-seconds multiple times. Also, you cannot see exactly where the puck is (like EHM:EA), just "areas".

Like I said earlier though, the game is definitely headed in the correct direction and worth it for any hockey fan. Feel free to ask me any questions about the game.
