put me in the camp of those who want a complete NHL game over (a lot of) new features. My perception of the problem is that they have too small of a team to have a game with so many leagues. So instead of being able to focus on the NHL (the license they do have), both current and historical, they are spending time ensuing rules and rosters are right not just in the KHL or SHL but also obscure leagues they don't have a license for. Add in trying to add a rapidly changing NCAA landscape and many customers get something they want, but no one gets a complete version of their preferred league/playing style and tactics, roster management, 2D, etc and new features all get less time. That being said, it is still a good game and with so few NHL Sims on the market, this one is my preferred option. But I do worry that trying to be all things to all players will leave an opening for an upstart game to do the NHL game better then FHM in a few years and that would be really disappointing to a lot of us who have kept the faith since the first FHM.
