Franchise Hockey Manager 6

Franchise Hockey Manager 6 is a deeply systems-driven sports management simulation developed by Out of the Park Developments in collaboration with Minos Games and published by Out of the Park Developments. It represents a continuation and refinement of a series that has always prioritized authenticity, statistical depth, and long-term strategic planning over spectacle. Rather than placing the player on the ice, the game situates them firmly in the role of a general manager, responsible for shaping an organization’s identity and success through decisions made far from the spotlight but crucial to sustained performance. At its core, the game offers an expansive and meticulously modeled hockey universe, encompassing dozens of leagues from around the world, both professional and amateur, modern and historical. Players can manage teams in contemporary seasons, step back into earlier eras of hockey history, or construct entirely custom leagues with tailored rulesets. This breadth gives Franchise Hockey Manager 6 a strong sandbox quality, allowing players to experiment freely with “what if” scenarios or pursue highly specific managerial fantasies. Whether rebuilding a struggling club fro…

The best part is being able to make your own custom league with its own rules, especially because you can use ANY real town or city, including your bummy redneck town.

I saved the franchise $11M in the first year, but was given no budget to re-sign the head coach... thanks Mr. owner. Simmed to the draft day and nothing happened. Apparently Lafreniere is part of the 2021 draft now?! You need to individually renew everybody's contract with no indication they're about to become a free agent. Trades take months to complete because it takes 2 days for your offer to be rejected. On top of this, trades are so unfair against you that you seemingly need to give up 18 draft picks just to exchange similarly skilled players. This game is so incredibly user unfriendly. I like the ability to customize a contract with NMC, NTC and different salary for each year. I like the cap hit vs. actual salary difference for players like Marion Hossa. Being able to send players down to the ECHL is also nice. It's also pretty cool that you can become GM of any team in any league. Overall, FHM6 has many cool features that I wish the EA games had, but this game is just simply unplayable.

Great game if you love hockey and managing a team! -Pick a team and GM -Make trades with logical GMs (for the most part lol) -GM at any level! -Be a GM for WJC/WCOH/WC would recommend if your a hockey fan

Every once in a while, I come back to this because I figure it’ll be a fun diversion from OOTP, and every time I do, I realize it has ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ UI. OOTP has robust player filters and great tools for sorting what are essentially spreadsheets. FHM6 does not. I’d like to try out one of the newer FHM’s if I can get one on sale, but this one is just too much “work” to be fun, seeing as how you can’t properly sift through all the ratings and stats and such.

what a crappy game, just dont buy it nuff said
