How is the OOTP Hockey game? I was extremely excited about the hockey game and pre-ordered the very first offering. I did not start OOTP with the first version, but imagine it would have been similar? There was a game there, but it was clunky, a little hard to follow and I have been so spoiled by OOTP that it was primitive in comparison. After some patching, I recall, I did try to do a season dynasty online, but soon realized the game was not up to the task (strictly in my opinion of course). So I shelved it. And although I am not a rage-quitter or have to immediately go to the FHM forum and bad mouth the game, I did resist buying it again, much as I WANT it to succeed and quickly get to the point of OOTP. But it's just not there from what I have read. Oh, and they have specifically left out online play to this point as they want to get the game right before introducing that complication. Again, sorry but online OOTP has ruined that too by being so challenging. I know the "nice/helpful" thing to do would be to support them with my continued purchase of the game, but sorry, I will wait and HOPE they advance at a brisk pace to bring an OOTP-comparable game to market eventually and put it on them to deliver before I dive back in to FHM. They have certainly set a standard with which to directly compare, whether they like it or not.

Front Office Football is great, especially the latest version, which is leaps n bounds better than previous ones.

FOF's goal was never to be pretty. While graphics are a weakness, its still by far the most realistic and in-depth football sim out there.
