They've also mentioned before on stream/somewhere that they don't share the same codebase so it's not like this is just the OOTP game with a Hockey skin slapped on it, meaning there will be significant differences and it's also in it's infancy compared to OOTP which has been around a lot longer.
Like ten years longer and like I mentioned Baseball (especially in the states) is a much more popular sport and baseball video games sell much better than any hockey game. Therefore, the budget for each game is likely quite different. I want FHM to be as deep and immersive as OOTP as much as the next person, but I understand that it's not going happen overnight, or anytime as soon as most diehard hockey fans would like.
