As someone who has been around since the start, Markus and company have never let me down. Every year OOTP comes out and every year I get a lot of gaming value for my dollar.
I'm not a big hockey guy and avoided the first game because of the mixed reviews.
Well, if Markus says the team worked hard and this version is solid, then that's good enough for me. I purchased FHM2 via STEAM and look forward to giving it a whirl.
Time to order a "Hockey for Dummies" book.
