silly question
I should ask this as I been looking into this game as I play the Baseball game as I been doing since 2001.
Should somebody like me who isn't exactly into Hockey get into this game ??? Some of the features I have noticed would have loved to have seen in OOTP. Just thought I would gather your opinions on this |

I don't see why not..
OOTP actually made me a baseball fan.. I knew the rules before getting involved with OOTP from childhood games (Triple Play baseball series, Ken Griffey Baseball). I never really became a "fan" of baseball until I started playing OOTP. Now I cheer for my Blue Jays and go watch the games live. On the other end of the spectrum, I tried out the Football manager games.. the game is great, I purchased 2 versions (2010 and 2014) but never really stuck with it. I find soccer rules to be a little more complicated. Not necessarily the game itself (offsides, throw-ins, corner kicks.. etc are easy to understand), but the management aspect is a lot different then North American sports. Transfer money, weekly wages, promotion/relegation is a little harder to get a grasp on. Hockey is similiar to baseball in the management aspect with the major differences being the draft and service time. Those two things are still quite similiar so I do not believe a hockey sim will be a big learning curve. |

I hear ya on the hockey part ... I do know I will get the Football game that hopefully will be released in Fall if not sometime later.
To be sure I will still consider it some more on the Hockey version. |

If you can understand that mess, you'll do fine with hockey. |

Wait for the game to actually be released and then read the reviews from the community. i should also say that I am not considering buying this version until the reviews are good enough and the price point is significantly lowered but am keeping tabs on it.

I grew up on Baseball and Football. Just now in the last 2 years getting into NASCAR. I go to Iracing.com to do my simracing stuff. Hockey I was not into near as much for I didn't like the fighting for I cared about winning more than the fights at the time when fighting was in. Then one year Yzerman showed up at my work and asked me a question of what would I prefer to see the Wings win or see a fight? I said WIN resoundedly. He told me that I was the first person that said that the team win. Oddly enough within 5 years after that the Wings started to win large number of games. Noticed not much fighting too. NO I don't think I be that prideful although I think its a funny coincidence. With my buddies I did joke around about it. I did get into Basketball but then I learned it was just a home team sport pretty much predictable so I quit watching and just said home team will win. Made money off that too LOL. (no joke)
