Fun game that will drive you nuts – World Hockey Manager 2024 Review

I love this game. The details for running your team make it a fun game to pass the time. Finding the right lines ups is great too. The default of strongest players on the first line doesn’t always give you the highest rated squad thanks to the player specialties. Developing your own players through the academy, or hunting for solid free agents to bolster my team is a mission, but fun. That said... I wish you could see the tactics of a past opponent so I could strategize against future opponents. I wish for this because the part that drives me nuts about this game is that you can be the home team with a higher rating, prep your squad to 100%, raise morale to 100%, have a 3 goal lead with all the momentum, and despite those advantages, somehow inexplicably, your opponent will score 4 goals in the last 5 minutes. This won’t be a one off, this will happen for about 1/4 of your games. Tactical matchups is the only other thing I can see mattering. So I wish I could check it. UPDATE: I’m on the verge of deleting this game. How my fully prepared 80+ rated team with a single player under 80 skill can lose to a team that’s missing almost an entire line and has three players above 70 skills range is mind boggling.
