I'll update this review after further testing,but 5 hours in , and i still struggle with the UI.edit 6 : nah, that'S it. gave this game 6 hours, and if i could refund i would. Maybe the simulation aspect is nice, but that was a 6 pre season hours with restart to learn the game and painfull UI navigation. it all over the place, there is input lag, sometime the menu bar do not show up , no font size modifier (ehm also have this problem however). couldn't even try the Trade AI (which is the biggest weakness of EHM) to try to compare...No easy fantasy draft mode setup either. an overly complcated custom league exist however. staff assignation is a chore, and scouting take a while to get used to (and you don't want to scout player, it take soo long navigating through menu, it not fun ).i like the way your player upgrade, and they tell you how much they do upgrade per month. this is a nice and good touch. The pre season game i played did not have any kind of graphic representation of the game , so you kinda just want to skip the log and go at the result screen as fast as possible. There is a lot of option however if you want to head coach your team. this is really polished ,you can greatly and clearly affect how a player will act, and the number near the role make it easy to put a player in his most efficient role. However if you just want to be a GM like me , you skip this whole section... and navigating through the game is a chore, click are not responsive , so everywhere you must go to get data is a chore. .. so it not a very fun experience.However, i gave it 6 hours, but maybe someone might push further and want to play as a head coach. Maybe this is the game for you then ! But otherwise i would kindly advice to stay away,. Long time EA NHL user. I have a friend who isn't into video games who played the baseball version OOTP..He recommended me to try FHM because of the same makers and the depth of realism. I am obsessed with analytics and simulation management. EA Franchise mode has always frustrated me as there is no variance. You buy NHL 19 and Crosby is god forever and always. This game really has so many factors that change every aspect. A long term bruins fan jumped in and said 'Bergeron doesn't need more training!' Halfway through the season Bergy starts to decline in skill (Yet still can be effective with good line chemistry) I try to play him with unfamiliar linemates and he performs terribly (As when he was at prime (used other players to compare)). So many leagues and prospects. No trade clause depending on the team trying to negotiate with. Ability to take part in coaching the world teams and seeing your players leave your roster for that duty. It adds so many elements that real GM's have to experience. This is my first OOTP game and am extremely impressed. I truly look forward to the innovation in the upcoming games and cannot wait to see how much further analytics will become a play in these type of simulator games. My ONLY negative remark is the confusion of online leagues. I was fortunate to join a league with people who helped me understand the process and once you do it once, it is an easy concept. I truly believe OOTP would see a huge upvote if they implemented a sort of built in way to make the online play easier. (I am not a developer so I am sure there is a reason it is done the way it is). Fantastic hockey sim.Builds on the strong foundations of FHM 4.Better tade AI.UI improvements.. I've played the EA Sports NHL series on Playstation for a while and was looking for an PC alternative. Unfortunately, FHM doesn't do it for me. The main issue so far is the user interface, which is very slow and clunky. For example, trying to hire new coaching staff was very time-consuming as there was no way to compare staff side-by-side, so I had to click back and forth too many times to get something done. Many times I found it hard to navigate to find certain things. Also, the input lag was really annoying, and simulation/progressing through the year took far too long. I was literally switching back and forth between the game and my browser so that I didn't have to keep watching the loading bar, especially during the off-season.I decided to buy this game because it was on sale, and I have tried a previous version of FHM three or four years ago and hoped that it had improved over the years. After trying to get the hang of it for a few hours, I'm sad to say that I now remember why the previous FHM didn't get much playing time. I do regret not refunding this game when I had the chance.If you're looking for a PC alternative for the EA Sports NHL series, you will most likely be disappointed. I might have given this more of a shot had it been my first hockey management game, or if the UI was drastically improved from its current state. Maybe give it a try if this is your first sport management game, and if you have lots of time to waste.I'll keep trying it a bit longer, and will edit the review if I find something positive that's worth mentioning.. This game is fun but there's a HUGE problem that needs to be fixed. Every time I try to load a game that I KNOW I saved FHM5 just keeps crashing. I tried to fix it but can't find anything. PLEASE fix this ASAP because the game is almost unplayable like this and it's so frustrating. Once this problem is fixed in an update I have no other problems. Thank you. The game has improved a lot since Franchise Hockey Manager 1. I was pretty disappointed with the last FHM, but FHM5 is the first one that I actually had fun playing and that I wanted to go back. It's not perfect and they are a many things to still improve upon (the draft, trade engine, etc), but the game is really in the good direction. The devs are really in the right direction. I really recommand for anybody that loves hockey and simulation games.. A really fun game. It has a few bugs (like not being able to sign Russian players when drafted, or players that stay permanently on vacation), but on the whole a very detailed fun sim game. Love the fact you can go back to any year in hockey history and replay it!. I like what the game is trying to do with a more realistic management experience, there are a lot of concepts to like here, Unfortunately the UI is just not very usable. It's too difficult to switch between screens going back and forth (lag, small buttons, not saving previous filters). The layout looks slick, but it's too busy and not helpful enough, too much white space.I really really wanted to like this game, but it's just not easy or intuitive to use.
