''Franchise Hockey Manager'', abbreviated as ''FHM'', is a text-based ice hockey simulation for career, historical, and fictional play. "FHM creates a management simulator that offers total, believable depth in managing a hockey franchise," PopMatters said in a review.〔http://www.popmatters.com/review/175647-franchise-hockey-manager-2014/〕 FHM's publisher, OOTP Developments, is well known as the company behind the long-running series Out of the Park Baseball, which is enjoyed by not only many baseball fans but also ex-MLB pitcher Curt Schilling, current Astros pitcher Pat Neshek, pro wrestler Steve Corino, and others. ==History== The most recent version of Franchise Hockey Manager 2 (FHM 2) released on September 28, 2015 on Mac and PC. It is available through the developer website and also through (Steam ). The new version allows the user to take control of a team in any of 21 leagues from around the world, including the NHL, KHL, Canadian leagues, minor leagues in the US, leagues in the UK, leagues in Sweden and Finland, and more. You can also play any historical NHL or WHA season back to 1931 or create a custom fictional setup. FHM 2 also contains a new game engine, a revamped tactics system and support for league expansion. Like its cousin, ''OOTP'', ''FHM'' puts players in the role of a GM and coach: They sign free agents, trade players, set up strategies, decide on lines, and more. FHM 2 has been noted as being a large improvement over its predecessor. "When all's said and done, Franchise Hockey Manager 2 is a big step up from its predecessor. Those who have stuck by the developer and go out and purchase this game having previously owned Franchise Hockey Manager 2014 will find a much more polished game this time around. They will also be pleased with the care and attention the team have given to the database, game modes and options, and the sheer number of teams and players available from the get go," wrote The Digital Fix. The first version, ''FHM 2014'', was released on September 3, 2013.〔http://www.popmatters.com/review/175647-franchise-hockey-manager-2014/〕 It featured 19 leagues from around the world, It also included historical NHL play back to 1947 and the entire 1970s history of the WHA. "The amount of detail involved is great -- they have rosters and prospects for all NHL teams, but also for junior and European leagues -- and it's still fun to mix and match line combinations," wrote TSN (The Sports Network) columnist Scott Cullen in a column on Oct. 2, 2013.〔http://www.tsn.ca/blogs/scott_cullen/?id=433263〕 A major update to the game, released on March 9, 2014, included: new training, scouting, and staff/personnel systems; four new leagues in the US, Switzerland, Asia, and Finland; a new blind mode; and many fixes and improvements. With that release, the game now had 23 leagues.〔http://www.operationsports.com/features/1823/franchise-hockey-manager-gets-major-update/〕〔http://www.macnews.com/2014/03/18/franchise-hockey-manager-mac-os-x-revved-version-162〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Franchise Hockey Manager」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
