Hey All,
I wanted to give a shout out to an online hockey manager game, Game Plan Hockey Manager: https://gameplanhockey.com/
Before I do, I should preface this post by stating I am not the owner/designer/developer, nor do I have any financial vested interest in this game.
So why am I promoting it? A few reasons.
1) I have played it for the past two years and really enjoy it. I figured other hockey fans might enjoy it as well.
2) The game just underwent a re-release and now is a good time to join and try it out because there is a trial period. After the trial period, it is $2/month.
3) It is much more fun to compete against other managers instead of AI controlled teams.
4) The developers have put a lot of time into the game recently and are constantly improving the game (I don't know them personally) and wanted to show some appreciation.
You basically act as a team's GM/coach competing against other managers around the world. Sign players, a full draft, set lineups, team tactics, player roles, training, etc. There's really a lot of depth to this game - too much to list here. There are currently 3 game worlds: Fast (4 games/day), Normal (2 games/day) and Slow (1 game/day). Each world has 6 leagues of 28 teams (which are currently half full). You don't have to be online for the games, it is all web based.
Anyways, I could go on, but I'm trying to avoid sounding like a used car salesman, so I'll leave it at that. If you are interested in hockey manager games, you have the info above. If not, that's cool too. Again, I do not benefit from this in any way, expect more human managers = a better experience.
I hope I didn't violate any rules by posting this here - and feel free to move it if I've posted in the wrong forum.
