SI Staff Riz Remes Posted July 30, 2015 SI Staff Share Posted July 30, 2015 Like we said originally, we are looking into implementing the network play so it will be added down the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevT90 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Any idea on when this feature will become available ? I mostly only have interest for multiplayer in EHM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Riz Remes Posted September 17, 2015 SI Staff Share Posted September 17, 2015 There is no fixed schedule for this feature as of yet, we are still exploring possible improvements to the network game mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tran Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 EHM took a major step back when it killed stable, online play in 2007. Here we are in 2015, and there is no pledge to make it happen. You simply can't have have a major game like this in 2015 without the ability for online leagues. Drop the nonsense (the 2D game is brutal...watching dots "skate" to and from the bench every whistle???) and focus on making an fun, engaging modern game. The first developer that provides a hockey manager that easily allows players to engage each other with trades, drafts etc... is going to have a winner. Maybe the FHM guys know this.

Mike Lowe Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I hope MP arrives soon. Seems it would have been an obvious choice to have in place for October 1st. Regardless, I enjoyed the game previous to EA, and will keep an eye on this thread. I personally don't have much interest in solo play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly48 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Solo play is indeed lame when we already had ehm since 2007. Hoping we get online play before years end or i might try fhm2 instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Riz Remes Posted October 16, 2015 SI Staff Share Posted October 16, 2015 Yes, online play is coming as we said it would. Patience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanbushmonkey Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Yes, online play is coming as we said it would. Patience. But when? I'm not asking for an exact date, just a ball park. Within the next month? Two months? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibalduk Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm sure once they have an idea, they'll let people know. Asking the question repeatedly isn't going to speed anything up. It's worth keeping in mind that, as I understand it, Riz is working on this in his spare time. It's hard to give timescales in that situation. Also, I believe the aim is to address some of the online multiplayer limitations of EHM 2007 so that, e.g. we can have up to 30 GMs (it was mentioned in the interview when EA was first released). Obviously it's going to take time for things like this to be implemented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevT90 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 When it's ready. That is the ''political'' answer, I respect it as it's the smartest. Means absolutely nothing but prevents broken promises and the frustration and anger from people if not delivering on time. Unfortunately, that answer also probably means that online play in EHM:EA is for later rather than sooner (many months/year ? VS weeks ?), if it ever gets there ! This is what Early Access is, an unfinished product with no guarantee. There's been a few good outcome of Early Access game on Steam and plenty of ''fiasco'', hopefully EHM will go in the first category. Too bad for us for being crazy Hockey lovers and not Football/Soccer fans I guess ... It is obviously a much smaller market ... Still, tipping my hat off to Riz for ''trying'' to revive the game with apparent minimal resources. I am scared that with the current resources put into EHM, that someone else who's ''putting more'' into the same genre will take over the exclusiveness EHM have had for a very long time ... Hopefully online comes on time and better than in the 2007 game. From a fan who has put the game on hold after the first couple days until multiplayer gets rolling. Best of luck.

tran Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'm just one customer. I bought one copy of EHM - just to throw some money into the pot. I wish more people did. But whatever. I did my part. I did the same for FHM. But I won't be chipping in for 2.0 unless the game is worth the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
