### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-09-08*

I have been an avid HLM fan with constant hours spent on the game. However, the game continously freezes and wokt allow for gameplay(cant even use a button) along with consistently freezing on October 6th in any mode. Just frustrated. PLEASE FIX

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-09-08*

Better than EA franchise mode. I have noticed sometimes it won't let you give a player a clause in roster editor, but thats the only issue I see at the moment.  Otherwise this game is amazing

### 1/5 — STOP BUGGING

*2026-09-07*

Sure, I played the first 5 minutes of this app, and it was great. The last 3 years, I bought pro and enjoyed it. Now, the game freezes every week. I haven’t got past my first season yet because it keeps freezing. I already bought pro, so I basically got scammed. HLM27 developers, please fix this. I want to actually be able to play.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-09-06*

I have been trying to contact the dev or any help for the past two days I have updated the game nothing works the game will crash if I press the lineup button or calendar button I paid for pro and really liked the game before so this sucks I am still trying to contact the dev or support

### 5/5 — 10/10 game

*2026-09-06*

Every year this game continues to blow me away. The best hockey game out there right now, and it continues to innovate each year. One of my favourite games that I’ll always come back to. Fantastic game and incredible developer!

### 5/5 — 👍

*2026-09-06*

Loved the last game, love this one even more

### 3/5 — Give f2p players a bit more access

*2026-09-06*

Most fun features are locked behind pro so can you remove some of them like limited seasons and fantasy draft

### 5/5 — Best Hockey Manager I’ve ever played

*2026-09-06*

Been playing since HLM27 and gets better every year. This game has more features than actually nhl franchise mode and works with no WiFi so I literally play it everywhere. Every year the 5 dollars I spend on pro are the best 5 dollars I spend each year.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Superb

*2026-09-05*

Run a Pro team while developing on the minor league farm affiliate & drafting players from amateur leagues.  Or choose to run any team in any league.  The concept, on the whole, is unbelievably realistic, even if it is not perfectly fleshed out to exact real-world specifications.  It is as close as possible without bringing in licensing implications which would lead to a much higher price.  It is, in my view, the perfect compromise.

The overall game mechanics (trades, waivers, player progress variability, etc.) are nothing short of superb. And each aspect is highly customizable so you can really dig in & set your level of challenge.  The developer is very responsive to new feature requests from the community.

This is a single-person developer, so there will be a few bugs upon release.  But they are squashed quickly via close communication between users & the developer.  A weekly multiple auto-save feature safeguards your in-game progress.

Overall, the incredible level of detail, its extreme playability & the more than affordable one time purchase price make HLM 27 an essential must-have for me.  I am immensely enjoying the current release—just like I enjoyed the previous one.  And I greatly look forward to future releases.

### 1/5 — ???

*2026-09-05*

doesn’t go into career, I press start and everything freezes
