Could FHM 15 be a better game than NHL 15?

But I think a hockey game that can compete with ea will do the company some good. It doesn't have to have NHL on it. In fact the league can be fictional. It just has to be a hockey game that plays well enough to draw away sells. Something that goes in a direction that EA isn't heading in. I feel like if the game play is good, people will buy it. And if ea sees people are buying a rival's game rather theirs , then they'll change their focus.

I agree 100% with this, because a configurable game, a healthy MOD community and an easy ability to create / install mods would allow some intrepid souls to create the requisite files to allow any league, any size, any players.

This goes for any sports game, any platform. Paying extra for licensed names for the professional leagues should be a dying practice.

I think that a fictional league hockey game would be interesting. You wouldn't have to worry about making players that play like their real life counterparts or realistic looking arenas or anything like that. They can just make a game that plays well.

You guys are funny. Talking about competing with EA with a game featuring fictional players and teams... Most people who buy sports games would never consider buying a title that doesn't feature their favorite player.

Sad but true. It's the fan boys blindly spending their money on what's determined to be cool that fuels the economic engine to keep a game company afloat.

Exactly - take the model in its editable format, and give the mods some time (or do it yourself) and you can have your favorite leagues and players.

Why pay extra for what people will do for free?
