BoxToBox Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 By that I mean for people who perhaps don't have much of a deep knowledge of hockey, or drafts and such. I watch games on tv few times a week, and used to love NHL 2k7, but I don't really know tactics and stuff. I tried OOTP once, and was pretty much overwhelmed with it. I'd still love to give this a pop though, if it's reasonably easy to get a grip on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are European leagues on the game too, which follow a more football way of doing business, you trade players and buy players and sign plays with no current contract ect. Scout other teams/leagues/countries. The NHL is the top league and does take some time to get used to if you are totally new to hockey. If you take it slowly the game will teach you what you need to do. Each league has an information page that tells you everything you need to know about the league and it's rules. I hear you about OOTP. I learn't what baseball is through that game but it took A LOT of time figuring it out, luckily because EHM is based on FM it's easy to get used to just clicking around and reading the info available.

kozorog Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 EHM series are very 'novice' friendly. Most things are optional - you can take it over or leave your head coach and other assitants to take care of it (rosters, lines, tactics, training, games and I believe drafts as well).

I'd definitely want to end up in the NHL, even if it was eventually, perhaps try in Europe first and move on later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do this, you can start unemployed and work your way up too. As Kozorog mentions you can set what options you control and which your Head coach (manager) controls. If you just want to buy players and set the teams for the games but ignore setting tactics you can do this, or you can do it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted March 26, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 26, 2015 There are some basic tutorials inside the game to help you along in the first instance, plus it's worth checking out the manual (available through Steam in PDF form) as that'll go into greater depth in many areas, particularly tactics.

Archibalduk Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 A long time ago I wrote an introductory guide to EHM 2005 and then added an addendum to cover EHM 2007. They cover the basics which apply equally as much to EHM:EA.
