★★★★★ Have to spend LOTS of money in order to have a successful team.
★★★★★ I will say this is very hard unless you spend money.
★★★★★ The game is somewhat entertaining for the first 20 seasons of your team, until AI opponents start to build superteams that you can only compete with by paying money.
2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Computer run teams need to be limited on their minor players overall.
★★★★★ The game is blatantly lying about other teams caps as many of them sit over the actual limit to gain a higher edge than what should be possible on you.
Nothing stands out.

2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ I really enjoy this game and I have almost all the other manager game made by this company.
★★★★★ I really enjoy seeing my players stats rise through the all time rankings but it's extremely hard to pick out my players without them being highlighted like they are in the company's other games.

Computer run teams need to be limited on their minor players overall. It’s so ridiculous
I have played hockey, college basketball, basketball, soccer, football and college football versions of these ultimate gm games that you guys produce. They are fun and I really do enjoy them. I have really struggled with this one, as I feel this one more than rest forces you to rely on spending real money so that you don’t waste 20 seasons building up your devastated franchise. By the time you resign your coaches, and players with the huge bonuses that you can’t change for the players your franchise has no money left over. Leaving you with no capability to upgrade facilities and even attempt to progress as a franchise. I love hockey and I love these games, but this one has almost become unplayable due to not being able to alter how much each player gets in bonuses for signing their contracts.
This game is way harder than the football version. Maybe consider that 30 win Mark maybe bringing it down to 25 or something like that.
This game is a great game but there are a few problems. 1. Trading: I don’t know if this is just me but for some reason I traded like three times in the season and they didn’t give me anything but I still lost everything I gave away so please fix that. 2. The balance between player teams and AI teams: it is so hard in this game to even get past an 86 overall mostly because the chemistry but let’s say you even get to like a 90 overall you’ll still get beat by worst teams because of their gear. 3. Goalies: so I got a 90 overall goalie and free agency so I was really happy because I’m like I’m not gonna give up as many goals as I used to actually I’m apparently giving up more and I’m giving up 15 goals a game with a 90 overall goalie, so please fix the goalies.
CPU teams are insanely good like 1-3 losses for the whole season good. And they do not follow the salary cap. Had a 100mil cap and all the best teams were $150 mil or more. Fix that and it’s a good game. Different from the football one as the players have longer careers. Also the CPU has insane development points. Can only match if you spend money. A little too much of a money grab. Pretty much have to spend money to compete with an average, below, or terrible team to start.
My qualm with this game more than any other is balancing of the AI teams. I’ve played I don’t know how many seasons in this game, spend countless time crafting the perfect team of players under the cap with chemistry of 90+ overall of 95+ with no gear, coaching styles all matched, just to eventually be beat by worse teams with less chemistry and talent just because they are able to have gear that gives the 10 attribute points all across the spectrum for every player. Meanwhile best we can do is 3 attribute points for 5-6 attributes, without paying for the 5, which is still half of the AI gear. It’s a sly way to go about the game and move people into paying for gear which probably wouldn’t help a whole lot anyway. No reason a team that is less talented by a long shot should be able to immediately bump each player’s attributes across the board by 10. It’s sneaky, and quite ridiculous. The most the AI should have is the max of what we have of 5.
