### 4/5 — Game won’t let me add more than 5 teams to a

*2025-10-09*

Game won’t allow me to add more than five teams to a division in a fantasy league custom settings. Trying to do a Canada/usa division and wont allow me to add the rest over. Stops at 11/5

### 3/5 — The development of players

*2025-08-14*

The development of the players is not really the greatest because like literally if I have an 80 overall top six low potential one year the next year he’s at a 92 overall like the development in this game makes really no sense in the game crashes sometimes, but other than that, the game is really good

### 3/5 — Fun game

*2025-07-22*

Really fun game if you enjoy simple team management, sadly the app has a tendency to crash often so remember to save your game often

### 4/5 — Fun but crashes

*2025-07-21*

App has potential but constantly crashes, buts it’s a fun app

### 4/5 — Great Game Too Many Crashes

*2025-07-04, version 25.2.13*

The HLM franchise is one of my all time favorite mobile games. HLM25 continues that tradition but there is 1 major issue with it. The game crashes far too often.

### 3/5 — Crashes in the draft

*2025-07-02*

Good game crashes every time I open the draft. Making it unplayable.

### 2/5 — Great game, when it works.

*2025-07-01*

I haven’t been able to play the game since the last update. It made it so that the game crashes every single draft. Its so frustrating. This game is so much fun and I’ve sunk a lot of time into it, it would be great if it worked again.

### 3/5 — Would be great but..

*2025-06-27*

I can’t even start my seasons cuz it’s constantly saying “invalid lineup”

### 4/5 — Good could be great

*2025-06-26*

Laid out well, doesn’t crash nearly as much for me as it seems it does for others. 

Need to fix playoff MVP award, it often goes to player on the losing team with 1-2 more points. Just won the cup and my Dman Hronek put up 29 points in 25 games, lost the playoffs MVP to McDavid who put up 31 points in 26 games & lost the series. 

Need more value depth for draft picks, a 4th and a 7th are not the same. 

It would be EXTREMELY convenient if you were able to edit the players names before starting up any mode. That way the user doesn’t have to commit 2-3 hours to change every persons name every time they want to do a new mode (yes I did that, I couldn’t handle the fake names they were so irritating, RIP Matty Bender) 

Really good app, hats off to the developer. Highly recommend buying pro as it’s just simply more than worth the six bucks. You also have the option to add a tip as $6 for the pro version of this app is an absolute steal. 5 star rating on HLM26 from me if you can apply these points.

### 3/5 — bugs..

*2025-06-24, version 25.2.13*

this game is soooo fun and complete bug the down side is that it keep crashing again again and again since the last 5 month.. so i cant play with it because im tired to lose all my progress for nothing.. i wish they will figure out how to set this up soni can enjoy this game again

### 3/5 — Crashes a lot

*2025-06-16, version 25.2.12*

I've had 5 crashes in my first 2 seasons that resulted in a lot of lost progress. Autosave needs to be more frequent than 1 month, and should also auto save before (or during) main events like drafts. Otherwise is a pretty fun game.

### 3/5 — Can be better

*2025-06-15*

I love this game and have played previous years, but this one crashes constantly especially at the draft. Every single time which ruins it for me. Going to uninstall and go back to the previous year

### 5/5 — Goated

*2025-06-11, version 25.2.12*

Best app I have, found it like 5 months ago and I have almost 200h on it

### 2/5 — HLM going downhill

*2025-06-09*

I’ve been a pro subscriber every HLM that comes out but with the constant crashing while I’m doing trades or after a game is done and having to re-sim all the way back up from my last save.. I will reconsider my next purchase

### 4/5 — Great game…but…

*2025-06-05*

The game
Keeps crashing after a draft. It’s extremely fun to play and very time consuming. So it’s a little frustrating when you do all the work and it is lost in the link of an eye. Especially if you for get to save. So save and save often.

### 1/5 — Crashes a lot

*2025-07-11*

Can’t get through the first draft without it crashing, tried multiple times

### 1/5 — Your game is bad and you should feel bad

*2025-07-07, version 25.2.13*

Terrible game

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-07-05*

What happened to this game? Constant crashes it’s brutal

### 1/5 — All it does is crash

*2025-06-15*

I payed for premium and every time I’m doing anything important it just crashes I’ve crashed probably 1000 times during the draft or right before anything then I have to go all the way back and I lose so much. It’s very frustrating to draft an elite player and then lose my player because I crash or I finish all the contracts and then I crash. Can we get some updates so I can play this game please and not get so annoyed. I love this game but until they fix the crashes I’m done playing Or buy anymore years I’ve been playing sinew like 2022 why is this a problem now.

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2025-06-02*

Game constantly crashes, bought the pro version as I’ve had the last 2 years and have had an awesome time with it. 

Can’t play the draft as it constantly crashes the game, only in the first year and only have a few active leagues. 

Have sent multiple emails and go no response from developers. 

Sad, as I loved this game in the past

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2025-02-01, version 25.1.24*

Fix the crashing issues it’s been happening non stop and it’s making this game hard to play I’ve been paying for pro mode for 7 years now and I want to continue to play and support this but it’s just not working and it’s frustrating

### 1/5 — crashes

*2025-01-10*

i have just gotten done with the trade deadline. i have made some good moves for the team, and then all of the sudden my game crashes. when i log back in, its before trade deadline. do you know how frustrating this is? the game has crashed of me so many times i cant even count. however, HLM24 &23 doesnt crash. i have had crash issues ever since the game has released. and its still not fixed! if you want a better review, i suggest you fix the crashing issues.

### 1/5 — Last update in 2024 needs to be FIXXED

*2024-12-31, version 25.1.19*

The most recent update (the last one in 2024) has made it so u can’t enter the sim in the tournaments anymore, this sucks especially with jr’s on right now ppl wanna do this!!

### 1/5 — Great game, but a LOT of crashes so far

*2024-09-13, version 25.1.6*

I’ve played for 3 years now and I love it, but the constant crashes have to be fixed before I can give it 5 stars again. (I updated the game this morning with its newest version and it still crashes randomly)

### 2/5 — CONSTANT CRASHES

*2025-08-07, version 25.2.14*

The game is amazing but it crashes every 10 minutes. Makes it wildly frustrating and basically unplayable. Please fix your game, this is a good game.

### 5/5 — Perfection!

*2026-01-22, version 25.2.14*

Luv <3

### 5/5 — Consistently good

*2025-11-15*

Every year HLM is my most played mobile game and this year will be no different. Love the updates for this version but unpredictable crashes persist as an issue.

### 5/5 — The Game I’ve Always Wanted

*2025-08-29*

Great game, love that I can play it on my phone considering how robust the features and leagues are. I do get some crashes but save often and it’s not so much of an issue. My current play through is now in the year 2087, you can just keep going and going if you like. Can’t wait for HLM26!!!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-08-25*

This game is really fun and I download every year are u guys going to make a new one?

### 5/5 — Incredible game

*2025-08-15*

It's an incredible game, I don't like that the players name and teams are changed, but if you download a community roaster it's good. The app crashes sometimes, so I would really like an automatic save that works without stopping the game and that you can trust saved your game if it crashes. I would also really like more game modes, so I have some ideas... 1-teaming up with other teams in a tournament, 2- 0 overall team rebuild, 3- All star skill contest, 4-winter classic, 5-Shoutouts, 6- Sisyphus mode (If you win a championship, you roster is swapped with the worst of the league), 7-Spectator mode, 8-maybe find someway that we can interfere with the performance of our team in a game, idk, ut more action would be cool. 9-Be a pro, you follow one player's career.

I would also like an option to have more than 32 teams at the starts, and that's about it 
Finally, the expansion draft should be selecting 1 player per team I think, but right now you can select all the best available

Love the game ❤️

### 5/5 — Super jeux

*2025-08-01*

Leo 26 sort quand?

### 5/5 — HLM is amazing

*2025-07-31*

HLM is by far the best Hockey manager game I have ever found and use.  It is way better than EA NHL.  History more is a lot of fun to use and the amount of settings make the game play very customizable.  I highly recommend that you check it out and see for yourself if HLM is for you.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game

*2025-07-16*

This game is so good, if you like GM mode, you’re going to love this game. However in the last month i have been having an issue with the game crashing randomly, i was hoping there would be an update to fix it but then i thought maybe the developer doesnt know.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-07-12*

Great game, good details, deep game.

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2025-06-14, version 25.2.12*

This is the best Hockey Manager game but for merging rosters I would love if there was a prospect one because when RSB releases a post deadline roster I have to make all of my prospective again
