And this is why IMO it is far better to wait for reviews when an advertising campaign tells people to get hyped. Just tell us like it is rather than telling people to throw money at you. Granted advertising has to concentrate on the positives, but the above is too much for me at least. I far prefer honest advertising rather than the studio telling everyone to get hyped. Notwithstanding the above, what I've quoted above is exactly what I hate about PR for some games. I really like the dev team too - they listen to feedback and really want to please their customers (compare that with EA Sports for instance). I still struggle to find the game particularly immersive, but it really does improve with every release. I really want FHM to succeed and I think if you compare FHM 3 and 4 against FHM 1 there is such a massive improvement. I have supported FHM for many years either by researching the UK leagues (I stood down a couple of years ago now) and testing (admittedly I have done relatively little this time around because my work commitments have limited my free time - but at least the various UK changes have been implemented following my feedback). So while its a great idea to be a smart consumer and wait for a review or 3, get hyped about this game and look to pre-order for a discount. wrote:In addition to being the only PC Hockey Sim OFFICIALLY LICENSED BY THE NHL®!

I bought FHM1 and FHM2 and FHM3 to support development.but at almost $50 Canadian and no chance I'll play it (and development seemingly secure, given they have a multi-person development team plus $ for the NHL Licence, and and even a Hockey Community Manager) I think I'll be passing on buying right away this year I've no interest in the modern game, and while I love all things historical the "NHL/WHA only" historical hockey world of OOTP has no interest to me Your post doesn't do much for me either to be honest.the "official rosters" don't mean much if anything that I can tell, I've no interest in "challenges" and the ability to "completely customize" is IMO simply not true (it's far, far less than you can do with EHM) what you can do is "easier" with OOTP but I've never been interested in fake/fantasy teams and the unrealistically small hockey world is a problem I can't get past - I need dozens of countries and many dozens of pro leagues and international play and many thousands of players.I need a "world" to immerse myself in) The fanboys seemed to stop posting when version 3 came out - I've always supported the idea of "let the (quality of) the game sell itself" and I hope they build on the version 3 style and don't return to the hype/PR/fanboy approaches of versions 1 and 2 I can't stand the hype/PR approach, and everything about it that FHM did in the first couple versions just validated all of the negativity I feel about hype/PR For me a very strong no thanks to "get hyped" In addition to being the only PC Hockey Sim OFFICIALLY LICENSED BY THE NHL®! Which means current and historical rosters available for the entire history of the NHL®. Lots of great features in FHM 4 this year though.Ĭompletely customize your hockey universe! Discounts on pre-orders are usually worth it.
