We believe that by building websites with technology leading tools, workflow functions and journalistic contributions such as:
- Real-time transactional tickers
- Dynamic trade blocks
- Journalistic content entries by any General Manager
- RSS feeds of content that can be loaded to anyone’s smart phone
- Websites that are responsive to mobile, tablet including forum technology optimized for mobile GM experiences
- Content manager system administration of announcements, webpages users, rules, …
What we are achieving are online leagues that best gives you the Sports General Manager job in every sense of the professional sports world:
- The ability to participate, rules that mean if you don’t show up (not forced to create content) turnover occurs giving opportunity to those at GM Games
- Feel like you are part of a real league with media that includes season previews, team news, press conferences, trade announcements
- Present day professional Teams
- Present day rosters
- Commissioners that bleed the leagues they represent and foster the environment for governance and enjoyment
- Simulator engines best in class at matching realism through statistical accuracy, rules that govern the MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA
- Leagues where EACH and EVERY team has communication accessible and active participants – rules for expiry of users is established
- Constitutions for each league are well-defined, documented and have been in existence for many years of stability
- The players in the game have a level of personality, chemistry and contractual attitudes that reflect real life instability and negotiations
Through technology we are bring you even closer to feeling like you are really there. It’s your team, your chance to prove you have always been right.
Today we are more than excited to announce the official partnership of the NBHL using the status quo standard for hockey realism in Eastside Hockey Manager. They will be joining our showpiece Baseball Simulation league the MLB Pro run by the passionate Andrew Sowders, using the Out of the Park Baseball engine.
As explained by Dano Jones – its most loyal and dedicated Commissioner, “the NBHL was formed out of necessity back in early 2010 by Dano, Drew, Jason and Jeff. Leagues other than the DMA were failing and the EHM 2005 community was looking for a 2nd league that was a little different. So the NBHL was born. At first it was just about losing all the arguing and crap that was coming into the leagues (The No Bullshit League). The league’s main mission was to try to get rid of that part of the game and yet keep the live sims going without it.
Let me say the DMA is a great league and in no way do we try to compete with them. They are a different type of league then we are. There are many crossover GM’s in both leagues and we do everything we can, as do they, to keep a balance between the two of us.
Anyways, back to the NBHL. After a few seasons and some unfortunately immature GM’s the NBHL files were deleted and the league was in turmoil. Jason, the current commissioner was understandably upset and decided to step down. The league had no game file and no leader. Thanks to some quick acting GM’s a new file was created and the NBHL was about to be reborn, but it was still missing a leader. After giving it much thought I stepped up to take over the leadership role in the NBHL and the league was off and running again.
For me as commissioner this is a passion. I love the group of GM’s we have and I am proud of the league and community we have created here in the NBHL. My goal is to keep this league alive no matter what.”

Do you remember to time when you first pressed simulate on your console video game and thought you just had to do it again to see what would happen next? GM Games has come a long way since 2011 and is always ready for more bloggers, writers or commissioners to bring content about the thing we care about most, a sports virtual reality.
All we ask is that you join our forums (forums.gmgames.org) and help participate in the leagues and great community of people we have here already. We have the enthusiasm of many large-scale and indie game developers that want their games covered and reviewed in an impartial manner. They too share the dream we all share, to be the person who calls the shots.
For those who want to do more for this genre or have media opportunities, please contact Chris Valius at [email protected]
Best of Luck..! If you really believe you don’t control your fate.
