Eastside Hockey Manager 2007 : Good and bad news

Marc Duffy · 01-30-2007, 09:17 AM

Guys

Some good and bad news on the EHM front today.

Firstly, a patch for 2007 is now available (3.0.3) but sadly this is the last ever version of the game.

I guess I could kind of see this coming. Has it been announced what the new game from SI is going to be?

a cooking simulator?

I know some people would have have an accident in their pants if it was Curling sim!

The community will keep the game alive for a good while yet.

Recte44 · 01-30-2007, 10:11 AM

American Football sim? Please???

Muppetus Galacticus · 01-30-2007, 10:22 AM

My money is on rugby or cricket.

Gastric ReFlux · 01-30-2007, 10:22 AM

Or maybe they're going to get in on capybara manager sims finally.

Four words. Cobra Kai Manager 2008.

STRIKE FIRST. STRIKE HARD. NO MERCY.

What about an EHM/Football Manager style basketball game featuring numerous international leagues? I assume the NBA licensing fees would be killer, though.

silvam14 · 01-30-2007, 11:11 AM

I think there are already enough text basketball sims, between Grey Dog, and Wolverine Studios, I would much rather see a real crack at an American football sim.

If it has nukes, I am interested.

robster1225 · 01-30-2007, 12:01 PM

Along this thinking, there's already Solecismic and Grey Dog is developing a Pro game as well. I think in the small world of text sims, that competition is good, but to much competition and we wont see any of these companies grow. What would be perfect is if SI brought in Jim from Solecismic and used his engine to create a pro football sim.

zukes · 01-30-2007, 12:02 PM

1. Curling ("both of our viewers must be ecstatic" - The Simpson's)
2. Handball (anyone who has ever been to New York City knows what I am talking about)
3. Jai Alai ( I just like saying Jai Alai)
4. Figure Skating (I would go Tonya Harding on all the competition)

Seriously, it's too bad about this game. I only have the demo, but planned on buying it eventually. I still may.

Ahh, didn't realize Grey Dog had a Pro Game in the works! Great news there!

Sad news.

Does this third patch fix the dreaded Great Decline bug?

Mr.Opinion · 01-30-2007, 01:43 PM

Sad news indeed. Sorry to see EHM go.

ZiggyPop · 01-30-2007, 02:37 PM

Is there a forum dedicated to EHM like this great forum here?

And a quick question... how good is this simulator? We're looking for an alternative to the crappy NHL0X series for next year...

I heard it was a good simulator. But, as you can see, it may be late to jump on board, because they are no longer developing it.

darkenigma510 · 01-30-2007, 02:59 PM

Its a great game but very indepth.

darkenigma510 · 01-30-2007, 03:03 PM

wow. Sad that piracy led to the demise of a fine title.

It shows the ironic nature of piracy in that it lead to the demise of a game apparently many people loved.
