Franchise Hockey Manager 8 vs. EHM

[tamzteem]

Thoughts? Seems FHM is catching up year on year

[TrolleybusFan]

EHM is still more fun as a game though. FHM is getting better and better but is still some way off.

To me EHM feels alive, things happen it feels like im in the game world. FHM does not have that feeling yet so it's still difficult to enjoy.

yes i bought fhm8 and then refunded it and continued with ehm, cant really say why other than ehm with latest rosters is more enjoyable tto play

The only way EHM trumps FHM is the chalkboard, multiplayer, and the mod community, In every other aspect FHM is the deeper game.

FHM is not even close to EHM, With there yearly release and licensing just a big waste of cash every year for little to no change. EHM on the other hand continuously updates there games fix's bugs and FHM has yet to fix there salary bugs and so on. FHM is just a joke where EHM has a better community online is easier to join just finding a league is one thing but that can be solved by creating a league. Did i mention try to host a league over there its all FTP download replace files rinse repeat and you gotta have a ftp server.

You are entitled to your opinion, even if it's wrong lol. To say there's been "little to no change" in FHM is ridiculous. I've been playing since FHM 4 and there has been significant change since then. I agree that the EHM online league feature is better, but I don't think that should be a major focus in FHM anyways. Not until they get the rest of the game fleshed out and optimized.

I was already dissapointed with FHM7 when having played FHM6 beforehand and im not buying FHM8 unless Im satisfied with some free version of it as a quick demo. EHM is still superior.

FHM would win hands down if their sim engine wasn't broken

[HanTykje]

Agree with token, but EHM need to get out a full game and update skin and interface. I hope they do soon.

I wrote a review on FHM8, I purchased the game and after 23 hours stopped playing, the lack of players in the draft and stupid trading system and completely broken contract system turned me off. Meanwhile I have 1000+ hours on EHM7 and 1200+ on EHM1 and have just started up a fantasy Canucks game (I have 19yo Sid the Kid on my team).

I have both and have been playing the hell out of EHM but can't get past 02/2022. Was hoping to get through 1 season but that doesn't seem to be happening. Going to focus on FHM8 as it's more stable in my eyes.

Then there is a problem with your game then, I have played numerous careers past 2030 and once to 2060.

i enjoy both, but i prefer ehm more since its a bit more complete.

In what way(s) is EHM more complete? I own both and the only way I see EHM being "more complete" is when it comes to the online portion. Every other other aspect goes to FHM.

[RRhoads]

Just got a refund for FHM8. It's terrible when it comes to the UI.

3 years later and FHM still doesn’t have real multiplayer and the community still eats it up 😭
