Coastal Summit Sports: College Hockey 26

New update to the color scheme of the game make's it very hard to read everything and is very tough on the eyes. It does not look like the black/dark mode it looks like in the pictures, which was very easy to read. It is impossible for me to play with the current color changes, which is sad because outside of that the game is pretty fantastic.

This mainly gets a positive review solely for the fact that it is a college hockey based video game. Some issues: No matter how strong my team I was never able to win the national title, the simming didn't make sense to me. Three years in a row I was the first seed and each time lost to the 16th seed in the first round. 7 seasons without a frozen four appearance. I'm not saying you should win every time, but this seems like more than just a coincidence. Decommits for overcrowding are a bit annoying. You can easily get them to recommit but they will continue to decommit each week. It would be better if you lost a large chunk of the progress bar which actually would give other teams a chance to steal the player, or if the player would firmly decommit. You can hire as many coaches as you want. Though the UI appears as though there is only a single coach per position, you can actually, for example, hire 10 trainers and have ridiculous injury avoidance and recovery. Record keeping could be vastly improved. While it saves certain data from season to season there is no reason it couldn't save it all. It is also pretty buggy, with some seasons not recording all player stats f…

players randomly gone or jump from freshman to juniors at the start of the year. makes it unplayable.

Great game! I have tried all of the other hockey sims but this one by far has the best UI and some other elements. Hope for more depth in the future. For $10 this game is a no brainer.

Big fan of sports sims. This one is off to a good start - but there are a few lacking items: - Started out as Brown - in 4 years, there hasn't been a singe in-state recruit from RI. - I might be just bad at managing finances, but every year I am ~-$200k in the red, meaning facility upgrades are out of the question. - The auto scheduling could use some refinement - example - the Beanpot should be the same teams every year. - Recruiting certain prototypes may need a balance - found it very hard to find snipers and offensive defensemen, but playing as a small school, I may have just missed them. - Redshirting would be useful - Coach contracts/firing does not seem to be working - you get an approval rating but that's it. Assistant coach contracts are also just indefinite unless you fire them. There's also no job offers from bigger schools. Would be fun to have targets/expectations from the AD etc Overall, solid start but hoping for continued development to give longer term replayability.

This is so in-depth and so much fun. Yeah they have some errors, and some bugs, but if you mention them he gets to them pretty quick.
