    My first season just finished and I managed to get to conference finals, managed to take Columbus past Red Wings in the first round. I lost in 5 but quite happy considering my top two defensive pairings were Maclaren and Berard and Methtot and Kloucek. I managed to trade some picks to get some good offense and Nabokov in goal though.

    Its a shame though. They have a soccer management game that is out of this world. Eastside was behind the soccer game in development, but had they kept it going I reckon in around two years Eastside would have been an outstanding product.

    Marketing was really poor.

    For me, I am ALWAYS better off when I stick with our Kings, I don't know why, but it doesn't matter WHO I bring in, I always play my best with our boys out there.

    SO I kinda quit trying to make the Crosby and Ovechkin deals long ago.

    Anyone know if there have been any relatively recent roster updates? Not holding my breath, but...

    I play the cr@p out of this game. It's not very action packed like a console game, but great for being a GM. I've played mainly in the ECHL but have a couple seasons with the Kings. The first thing I did was get a goalie. Believe it or not I traded Clouts for Nittamaki(sp). Got some cap space, plus (in the game) he's a much better goalie. Made the team instantly competitive.

    The hockey manager has been using a 2-3 years old football manager engine and I don't see how that could have changed. I was in Sports Interactive building this spring and the difference was obvious. There were about 20-25 people working on Football Manager game, while there has never been more than 3 people on the EHM project. Make that 3.5, one of the FM guys was helping them with the database implementation.

    The game was not making profit, so that's why they stopped with the development. But I agree that marketing has been poor.
