Yeah, I bought the first one but never even played it since the Fictional League was essentially broken. So far in all the blogs I've seen and features they've added this is a must-buy. No game will ever be perfect but time will tell.

P.S. Seb, i´d prefer a flat with a nice view over the Elbe and season tickets for St.Pauli

That was a tremendous post. Well done, sir.

Hamburg, New York, right? If so, would you mind keeping an eye on Patrick Kane?

No kidding. Dude needs to get better friends and watch guards or just abstain from alcohol.

Yeah, if he'd just stop drinking he wouldn't have to take a taxi. It's a win for everyone involved.

So, this has probably been answered and I've since forgotten, but does FHM follow OOTP in that you have a choice between being just the GM or both GM and head coach? So, this time, it's possible to have actual head coaches and not just assistant coaches? Do I get to bring in mad genius/Bond villain Guy Boucher to be a key part of the Canucks' rebuild? The blog post on tactics mentions trusting coaches. That's a little vague in language.

Edit: nevermind! it's mentioned in the additional features! Thanks, team. Everything is wonderful.

kohut · 09-02-2015, 04:19 PM

I wish it was out today! Oh well atleast we have a difinitive date.

AirmenSmith · 09-02-2015, 05:44 PM

My money is always OOTP Developments so I will be getting this for sure. I didn't have many complaints about the first version. After playing the first one I realize now how little I know about Hockey

Will Mac OSX users be able to purchase through eSellerate or will we have to go through Steam? Nothing against Steam, I just like going through eSellerate.

Funny, I still feel the same way even though I have come a LONG way in my acceptance of Steam for other games. I still prefer my OOTPD offerings "straight up," if you please.

I don't think anyone would be offended. Waiting for release is reasonable.

There is no doubt that on first impressions everyone will realize how much this game has changed for the better in many aspects. With being a beta tester, I am personally quite excited for the official release so I can finally PLAY the game and stop testing

Edit League Structure turned on?

r0nster · 09-02-2015, 10:29 PM

Never got into Hockey but will try this anyways and actually looking forward to this. I sure do like being able to see how my trades workout to see who won the trade or it turned out to be a pretty good trade overall after a period of time. This game I will start out as GM only to learn and understand the game.
