Haven't played EHM in a while, but FHM allows for online leagues ala OOTP.
To me, that's worth the purchase alone.

I posted my review on another site. Cole will post it on the FHM2 forums soon, you can view it from there (I've got the same handle on that site too) rather than me directing y'all to a second site.

I've just posted the application for our SSG NHL Hockey league which will use Franchise Hockey Manager 2. With the patch coming out today, we'll release a league file ASAP and give folks a chance to get things ready for when we'll have our first games simulated. Beyond that, we will follow a real-time daily schedule like all other leagues at SSG.

Expect this first season to mirror the 2015-2016 NHL season as closely as possible. We'll definitely look to adjust some rules/settings beyond this first season as the NHL does some wacky things!

We'll also likely be expanding, especially if the NHL does so next year as rumored.

Please take a look around the SSG website before quickly rushing off an application (it's not first-come-first-serve anyway). We're a unique simulation universe with an already great core of guys in our OOTP baseball league as well as our college and soon pro football leagues. We'll also be added both pro and college basketball once hockey gets off the ground and likely a FIFA league next fall. A truly year-round simulation universe!

While I'm very proud of our group of guys and our unique structure and approach, it's understandably not for everyone, so please take a look around. I hope to hear from some of you soon. We've waited a long time for a great hockey sim, and I'm excited to dive into FHM2!

I've just posted to the website our catch-up calendar/schedule, an updated rules page, and a link for NHL graphics (with readme files).

We still have teams available, and once the patch drops today, I'll be uploading our first league file. Come get a team while the original batch lasts!

How is this shaping up, played hours and hours of EHM, but has been falling behind on updating and keeping up with my game. Played the baseball versions for a few years and loved it, but I am a true hockey fan, should've got it at the cheaper price before it went up!

The iNHL is in it's first season of simulating and we're looking for 6 dedicated GM's who are interested in joining our league, which is run using Franchise Hockey Manager 2. Our upload schedules are deadlines of 10:00 pm Central time for Sunday - Thursday evenings with Fri and Sat used as our "offdays".

We are setup thru the fttp process, so you'll be using the upload button from within the game to send off your teamfiles... easy peazy! We have a whatsapp group set up for ease of communication and a good 'community spirit' as a result.

Current opportunities include:

Anaheim Ducks, Calgary Flames, Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, New York Islanders & San Jose Sharks

We may have a few teams become available in the near future as well.

Please stop-by the website or PM me for more info as teams will be allocated on a first come first serve basis!

Can you explain the upload/import process a bit more.
I've been testing on my end, and it seems that the import/export process isn't nearly as seamless as OOTP's.
It's as if you have to download the entire league file each and every time.
Is that the case?

I'd be interested in joining, but I want to make sure I understand the process first.

Thanks!

P.S. What's your league's URL?

While FHM2 should hopefully be as streamlined as OOTP, right now you are correct that you must download the league file manually. You can, as you mention, upload an export from within the game.

If you're interested in a second league, we have teams open still at www.simsportsglobal.com

Applications can be found on the website, and we can get you added today.

Save your money and stick with EHM. FHM is nothing like OOTP.
