As much as I've looked forward to the release of FHM 2, I have a question about the pricing. The $39.99 (USD) price tag is hard to swallow when there is another game in the same genre/topic. The "other game" has been out since March, gets consistent updates (roster and game mechanics), and cost $25 (USD) less. Also, like with FHM, the "other game" comes from a reputable developer (w/ a decently strong hockey history) in the simulation genre.
I realize the pricing works for OOTPB since there is a lack of competition and the game has a very strong history. FHM comes to the party against competition and not enough history to judge. My point is, I think the game would be better served at the $19.99 (USD) price point...especially if trying to attract the non-OOTP community types (Steam, GMG, etc.). It is not my intent to start an argument, so if this post comes off as rude or the like, please let me know. Again, I'm not looking to start a flame war, just a discussion. |

I've actually had a strong urge to play some hockey sim lately. But every time I thought about loading one up I said to myself "wait, FHM2 is just around the corner..." nice to know when that "corner" is .
The Beta Testers seem impressed, I'm looking forward to seeing if it lives up to the hype. |

Well, I got to say that was unexpected.
I was part of the ''bashing'' club that some called, I just wanted to be informed of a release date, but I must say, I should've kept faith. I'm happy the waiting is over, that we now have a clear idea or when this is going to be released, but I really did not trust the outcome of this. While Cole and Sebastian were out there giving all they got to answer us with the best they had, some of us might have been too impatient and felt like we deserved to be informed, while you guys owed us absolutely nothing. I think that's the point, you guys don't owe us anything, and we shouldn't feel like you do. Don't worry, I did not realize this once the game was announced, but I feel like this is the right time to post this. Personally, I apologize to the developpers, and members of the community, for polluting the forums with unnecessary rant. Special apology for Penfold, who I undirectly accused of using his medical condition to get attention. I think there's a lesson to learn here, not to get too greedy and needy when it comes to these things.. Anyway, with all that being said, can't wait for September 28th, and I wish you guys at OOTP the best success with the game. |

Or don't buy it and play the other, less expensive game.

Apart from that, I am certain FHM 2 will be the superior product, a brand new developed game and not a resurrected title from almost 10 years ago which got a bit of tuning and a facelift. OOTP has been $39.99 forever. FHM will, of course, be priced the same because we aim for it to become the undisputed champ of its genre as well. OOTP had competition once, too... anyone remember Baseball Mogul or PureSim? Alright, having said that, let's focus on FHM 2 here and not some other game...

The similarities end there. With the exception of a common scoring objective, they couldn't be more different.

I got this email while driving last night and almost ran off the road with excitement!
One question: is the plan now to publish FHM installments about once a year, a la OOTP, or do you have a less formal timeline in mind? |

My understanding is that now that the major project of the redesigned game engine is here, making regular updates on the game and adding more stuff will become a lot easier in future patches/new versions. |

Will there be more road to release articles before it's released?
