### 4/5 — Great game!

*2023-05-27, version 22.3.7*

I’ve been playing this game for around 6 months and it has been extremely enjoyable. One of my favourite parts of this game is the stats, even though the stats are pretty accurate I would like to suggest potentially adding GAME-WINNING GOALS as a additional statistic. 

Overall great game.

### 4/5 — I love it but

*2022-09-03, version 22.3.7*

I love this game but I just think it’s a little pricey to be spending on pro when a new game with come out next year. I definitely would buy it if it was 2.99 or lower but 5$ just for a new game to come out is to much. But Great game I love it

### 3/5 — Frustrating as hell

*2022-08-27, version 22.3.5*

This is an amazing game. I would give it five stars except the app crashes CONSTANTLY.

### 3/5 — help

*2022-08-14, version 22.3.4*

my game keeps crashing whenever i start

### 5/5 — Good Game, But Not Better Than EA’s

*2022-07-31, version 22.3.2*

Awesome But if you a spare Benjamin in your pocket don’t get your hopes up Best free game I ever had

### 3/5 — fixe bug

*2022-07-28, version 22.3.2*

please fix bug, it's getting a bit annoying

### 3/5 — App has glitches

*2022-07-27, version 22.3.2*

App is very glitchy when making roster moves or doing expansion drafts, an update would make this game much more enjoyable.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-07-07, version 22.3.2*

Soccer game pls

### 5/5 — Just one problem

*2022-07-01, version 22.3.2*

The problem in this game is I mess up the players because the last name is different than what their real last name is overall it is a very good game! Also I was wonder if the mods or developers can give me info on how to add ur created team to the nhl cuz I can’t figure out how to?.

### 4/5 — Solid, but just one thing

*2022-07-01*

Great game overall, bought the pro version and it was 100% worth it. Only thing is that the auto save doesn’t work and the game save is glitchy. I played two seasons and one sitting and it auto saved along the way and when I logged in again the seasons I played were gone like I didn’t play at all. Frustrating but a good game

### 5/5 — Best Franchise simulator

*2022-06-30, version 22.3.2*

This is like EA’s franchise mode except better in every possible way. The only things to complain about is that some of the awards like Hart or Vezina need to be reworked for who they choose. It is very minor but really the only thing I can say needs to change

### 5/5 — What Franchise mode in EA games should be

*2022-06-05, version 22.3.2*

If you like running a franchise in the EA games then you’ll love this. It blows it out of the water. I bought the pro version and the battle Royale Mode was actually quite fun. Everything can be customized to how you want to play. The game even keeps track of all your trades and you can click on the player or pick to go straight to the player profile and see everything about them including their development over the seasons. There’s records, draft history, Prospect poll ranking, fantasy ranking, etc.
If you love sim hockey and building a franchise then this game is for you.

### 5/5 — Make some free

*2022-05-25, version 22.3.2*

For it to be more fun make expansion draft, fantasy draft and create a player for free. I don’t see why you should buy the pass when most other games I have played are free. I want to enjoy doing what others do without blowing my allowance every month on a game! I bought it once before and tried to log in but couldn’t, I wasted my allowance for months on this game that doesn’t let you log in to your old account. Make these things free to get all players a better experience and add something new to buy that’s more worth my allowance

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-04-27, version 22.3.2*

This game is so much fun lol lease make a baseball one!!!!

### 5/5 — W game need a soccer version

*2022-04-25, version 22.3.2*

Soccer version pls

### 1/5 — Can't play all games on pro

*2024-08-16, version 22.3.7*

I like playing 2022-2024 but I can't get pro for the older games.  It won't let me purchase.

### 1/5 — The advertisement is fake 🤣🤣🤣🤣

*2023-05-31, version 22.3.7*

They said “play the game” in the advertisement but it’s just stats of fake teams. 🤓

### 1/5 — Great game until a bug ruined it…and no response to my multiple efforts on contacting the creator

*2022-03-27*

Very depthfull statistically based game with a simple and clear functioning layout. I loved the game until I encountered a bug. 
The game has randomly started glitching to exit the app completely every time I try to complete the expansion draft….. I can’t get past it. It’s strange because I am multiple seasons into the career mode and have had expansion drafts every season without a single fault. 
I am a reasonable person and understand these thing happen, but after multiple attempts to contact the creator over multiple weeks to have no response, has really been disappointing.

### 1/5 — Overcharge

*2021-12-21, version 22.1.27*

You guys charged me 50 dollars when it was supposed to be 5

### 1/5 — Love the game, but there’s a heartbreaking glitch

*2021-12-15*

This game is absolutely perfect for those who like managing an nhl team and the community player rosters make it very accommodating if you want to play with real people and teams.

The glitch I’ve run into in my current save is that I can’t simulate past October 13. I’ve tried a lot and nothing will fix it. Need a fix(otherwise 5 stars)

### 1/5 — Game stops simming

*2021-10-30, version 22.1.25*

I’ve tried playing multiple times and I don’t know if it’s just with the replaceable team but every time I try to sim it just stops on the 26th of September in the first season and I can’t go any farther and I waste all my time doing costume leagues that I can’t play.

### 2/5 — Problem

*2025-01-14, version 22.3.7*

Game was fun when it worked but now the game will not load.  I paid for the PRO and now that the game no longer works they want me to pay for PRO on the newer versions.

### 2/5 — Lame

*2022-06-28, version 22.3.2*

Don’t waste your time, you have to pay for the full version. You’ll get stopped after a couple seasons. Not worth money.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-06-15, version 22.3.2*

I tried to get pro for the cool game modes but it doesn’t let me get it it won’t let me pay to get it!

### 2/5 — Good but buggy

*2022-02-26, version 22.2.3*

Great game but definitely buggy.
Every loss counts as an overtime loss even if it’s 7-0.
Easy presidents trophy I guess. Lol.

### 5/5 — PRO version not restored!!!!!

*2022-12-03*

I love this game but I ran into a major glitch this morning. I had downloaded HLM22 for the iPhone in April. I am a huge follower of the game and in June, I purchased the full HLM22 Pro for $3.99. Yesterday morning while working on some faces and player names - the app restarted itself and the $3.99 for purchase popped up. I pressed to restore and it could not verify the cache and therefore not restore the game. Before all this happened, I deleted my logos because of space but I’m not sure if deleting custom logos and the game not verifying my cache is linked. I really love this game and have been playing it as my fave game since I downloaded the limited app in April. 

I would just like to get the PRO version of this game back. I don’t care if I have to start again from season one, I just want to have this pro version back!

### 5/5 — I love it but…

*2022-09-13, version 22.3.7*

It will be nice if I can play a real game with the team like in NHL22 of EA sports.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2022-08-20, version 22.3.5*

Did fantasy draft, finished 3rd in league, lost in first round of playoffs. Fired coach, ran out of cap space….  This game is just fantastic.

### 5/5 — No ps5

*2022-08-16, version 22.3.5*

Best game ever

### 5/5 — Great game but misinformation about pro

*2022-08-16*

I love this game but don’t like how it says features like an expansion draft are included in the pro version when they’re not. I bought it looking forward to adding my team and doing a draft and starting for scratch only to not have that feature which was a main selling point on the pro menu not being available. Either add it or remove it stop lying.

### 5/5 — So much better than EA

*2022-08-12, version 22.3.3*

This is how it’s done

### 5/5 — Love and hate relationship

*2022-08-09, version 22.3.3*

Love the concept and development of historic teams.
Hate the names of players and the fact not every historic player is in the game

### 5/5 — Great Game but...

*2022-08-05*

Absolutely love this game, I've sunk about 15 hours into it already and i got it 5 days ago. However, in my first playthrough picking the worst team to start with, I missed the playoffs once and did not miss them since, the game doesn't have enough challenge, I don't think I'm some sort of prodigy but I wish the game was more challenging. That being said, it's still an absolutely stellar game and the $4 is a steal for how much content and depth is in the game.

### 5/5 — Best franchise game ever created

*2022-08-04*

This is legit the best app it has built in mods for a couple bucks also for all the people that left bad reviews because somthing wasn’t working it’s not that it wasn’t working you just don’t know how to navigate the app properly I have no problems a tip of advice always save before turning off ur phone then when u get back on click load instead of auto save. You should only really auto save during the actual season

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-08-02, version 22.3.2*

Really enjoy it as it has a good since realness to it. Maybe to make it more challenging you could add a feature that makes it possible for you the GM to be fired by the team owner. I just think it would make the player try harder to win right away vs losing all the time to get high draft picks. Also maybe a baseball version would be terrific
