New player not really familiar with Hockey

cmdrsam3 · 11-04-2019, 08:37 PM

Love OOTP baseball. Don't have every copy but several over the years. I cant say Im a fan of hockey. But every few years I try to find a game for me to enjoy. Bought FHM1 when it came out. And really wasn't what I was looking for.

I have some Eastside hockey experience. But felt overwhelmed. And nothing I did seemed to matter and quit that. Now I see this version as a tactics menu. Which is something I am very interested it. I don't want to change lines myself during a game. I just want some input on lineups and to follow tactics that I choose. Is this the game for me? is there much of a difference between 6 and 5? Am I going to have a difficult time trying to match players with a team philosophy?

I swore I replied to this.

Yes, you can do that. It's not always easy, but the AI will make it work to the best of it's ability. You may find as you go on you'll want more control anyway, which is why switching it back and forth is good.

Thanks. Sorry for being whiney. been a long day. Im not talking mastery here but would you recommend it to a relative new guy. I got some idea on items. Would a new guy be able to determine the players attributes and come up with an idea on how to put together a team?

Yes, but I'd recommend starting in the NHL or even Historical to get your feet wet. You'll play and learn, and that's okay. Check out the pinned thread about tactics as well. Lots of helpful information.
