Bigpoint’s “free to play” browser games portfolio includes managers for several sports disciplines. Hockey Manager has been prepared for hockey fans who have always dreamt of leading their own team. In this case the task seems to be doubly difficult, because in addition to training players, players must also manage the club.
The creators tried to render the problem of leading a hockey team as complex as possible. Players must therefore select players, supervise training programs (trainings can be held up to 6 times a day using 11 methods with both positive and negative consequences), determine the composition and strategy of each Friday, watch over the validity of contracts and insurance, catch talents, invest in youngsters, etc. The players must be able to take part in the training program, as well as in the training program. In addition, there are aspects related to club management, expansion of the ice rink and training facilities, searching for sponsors, PR activities, issue of shares….
The most exciting element of the game are, of course, hockey matches, played friendly with friends or in leagues. During the game players can only change fives, so the tactics should be set at least 15 minutes before the first whistle.
Social functions in Hockey Manager allow you to form clans, mainly for the exchange of team leadership experience.
The game is based on a text layer (messages, tables, statistics), so simple graphic elements only serve as decorations.
Hockey Manager’s business model is based on a microtransaction system. This means that the game can be played for free, but some of its features and facilities are only available upon payment of a fee.
