Hockey Legacy Manager 26

[h2] Trading and AI issues hold it back [/h2] The price is good, but there's some fundamental issues regarding trading and the AI as a whole that made me not want to play past the first completed seaosn. [h3] AI Cap Compliance [/h3] The offseason produced a number of trade offers from AI teams, but I couldn't accept them as...the AI team would still be over the cap. I'm not sure why a team $10 million over the cap can't trade an $8 million player for my $900,000 prospect + picks, but it quickly became frustrating. I assume that either the AI can only trade with other AI teams to get around this, or they simply don't need to be cap compliant. [h3] Trading is too Easy [/h3] It's a fundamental problem with a lot of these types of games, but at the end of the first season my Habs team had, without getting rid of any of the core, added: - Connor Bedard, Michael Misa, Spencer Knight, Alex Ovehkin, Evengi Malkin + another 81+ rated prospect I can't remember the name of I even had the following picks: - 2026 1st (Carolina), 2x 2027 1st, 2028 1st + muiltiple picks in the other rounds each year (3x 2026 2nd, etc.) [h3] The AI seems to know when players are going to retire (you don't) / player feedback isn't accurate [/h3] After trading for Ovehkin and Malkin at the trade-deadline (for pennies) I signed them both to long-term extensions. They then immediately retired after the season ended. My immediate thoughts were: - There's a feedback system to indicate how much a player wants to sign a specific dollar amount + term, so I'm not sure why both indicated tehy had "high interest" and then signed if they intended to retire - Is this why I got two franchise players rated 88+ for nothing? Did the AI know they were about to retire and wanted to recoup something?

Solid NHL SIM!! Need better stats for players like skating speed, acceleration, agressivity, endurence. Also 2 way contracts and team strategies. But honestly looking forward to the 27 version great job on making a good hockey sim since EA are a bunch of money grabbers.

A decent simulator but a disapointingly shallow UI and stats organizing sytem. Very basic player search, can't search by stats/characteristics. Can't go to next player in player lists, have to click out and in to each player. No keyboard customizations, so you're constantly clicking the small "back" in upper left and can't change that, just a few examples. Good team builder, and you can live with the UI if you accept that it will stay a rather shallow analysis.

Absolutely love this game. Super good interface and very addicting. Couple things i hope for in the future would be slightly more in depth sims, like 5 on 3 PP's, 4 on 4 etc. Also would be awesome if it kept track of more stats like PPP. Another thing that i think would be cool: On a players card/profile, if you could click on a trade that the player was involved in, it would take you to see exactly what that trade was.

HLM27 waiting room

First of all, this game is absolutely worth it. As a huge hockey fan that has been stuck with EA NHL's franchise mode for years, HLM has brought GM Mode to a whole new level. The fact that you control literally every aspect of the league and play how you want to play is amazing. The developer can definitely raise the price imo because with EHM being out of the picture and well Franchise Hockey Manager not being the best, HLM takes the hockey Game of the Year for me every year. The fact you can also be commisioner and control as many teams as you want is a huge bonus for me. Thank you for all your hard work and looking forward to HLM 27!

would love world championship to be included so its not best of the best always.. giving smaller countries more chance to suprise, same as maybe some features as player morale, franchise managment etc etc.. as it gets boring after time when only thing you manage is lineup,coaches and scouts. deffinitly would add more micromanagment about franchise and its presentation, also maybe being able to become coach, not just GM (or at least being able to make some chaices mid game if its not going so well, such as changing pressing or just some instructions) solid 8/10 worth every cent, points reducted mainly because of not being able to manage more things as real GMs do, especialy after save gets so boring after first 2/3 seasons when u build that depth ineup with both offensive and defensive lines and starting new save or changing club / franchise after every 2 season aint gona fix that boredom as feeling losing what you build gets that morale of a player down )

i love viggo bjorck
