I would have given the game a 10/10 rating, but it continues to be a work in progress. That being said, it is as close an experience as I’ve ever had in terms of becoming a real hockey GM. The simulations are great to watch, the stats are fantastic and will continue to improve, and the community is one of the few I’ve enjoyed being a part of. Yes, you need to stick with it the first season to work out the ins and outs of the game, but once you know what’s going on, you’ll find yourself honestly missing it when you’re not playing a game or, god forbid, you aren’t in the playoffs (though there is even a competition for those teams as well). Highly recommended!
