### 2/5 — Unrealistic

*2026-08-04*

Games by this developer used to be lots of fun with possibilities of playoffs after a few seasons. Now, after a series of updates, these games are too difficult. Whether it’s running out of money or having no good players available. It is too difficult to have any kind of realistic success equivalent to the team you have created.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for your honest review. We still have an option to play the old version of the game. Contact us at support@2rk.games, and we will help you.

### 1/5 — Customer service and money grab

*2026-05-10*

I purchased a product in game and never received the product. I have emailed them 3 times and no response.  Just terrible. BUYER BEWARE.

**Developer response:** Hello Avira, we're sorry you faced this issue. Our team is investigating your saved game data and we will get back to you with an update as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

### 3/5 — Great Potential

*2026-05-08*

I have played hockey, college basketball, basketball, soccer, football and college football versions of these ultimate gm games that you guys produce. They are fun and I really do enjoy them. I have really struggled with this one, as I feel this one more than rest forces you to rely on spending real money so that you don’t waste 20 seasons building up your devastated franchise. By the time you resign your coaches, and players with the huge bonuses that you can’t change for the players your franchise has no money left over. Leaving you with no capability to upgrade facilities and even attempt to progress as a franchise. 

I love hockey and I love these games, but this one has almost become unplayable due to not being able to alter how much each player gets in bonuses for signing their contracts.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for your honest feedback. We appreciate your taking the time to share those details and will definitely look into it.

### 3/5 — Needs update

*2026-05-06*

This game has so much potential but needs an update. Needs better ways to make money and more balanced teams. Is there an update coming?

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for the review. So happy you liked it! Our team is actively working, so more updates and improvements are coming

### 5/5 — Maybe a little too much

*2026-04-08*

This game is way harder than the football version. Maybe consider that 30 win Mark maybe bringing it down to 25 or something like that.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks a lot for the recommendation! Feedback like this helps us improve.

### 5/5 — Pay to win

*2026-03-01*

The game gets fun after you buy the editor

**Developer response:** Hi! We appreciate your support and feedback. Thank you for playing.

### 4/5 — Trading

*2026-02-28*

This game is a great game but there are a few problems. 1. Trading: I don’t know if this is just me but for some reason I traded like three times in the season and they didn’t give me anything but I still lost everything I gave away so please fix that.
2. The balance between player teams and AI teams: it is so hard in this game to even get past an 86 overall mostly because the chemistry but let’s say you even get to like a 90 overall you’ll still get beat by worst teams because of their gear.
3. Goalies: so I got a 90 overall goalie and free agency so I was really happy because I’m like I’m not gonna give up as many goals as I used to actually I’m apparently giving up more and I’m giving up 15 goals a game with a 90 overall goalie, so please fix the goalies.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for your constructive feedback. We’ll consider your suggestion as we plan future updates.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-01-16*

Wish there was more parity as top teams are way too good. Excellent game though. Any chance more game graphics are coming ? Overall it is enjoyable and addictive. Love the game !

**Developer response:** Hello Steve-O, thanks for playing and reviewing our game! We do plan more updates for the game, stay tuned!

### 3/5 — Good, but not great

*2025-12-18, version 1.2.0*

CPU teams are insanely good like 1-3 losses for the whole season good. And they do not follow the salary cap. Had a 100mil cap and all the best teams were $150 mil or more. 
Fix that and it’s a good game. 
Different from the football one as the players have longer careers. 
Also the CPU has insane development points. 
Can only match if you spend money. A little too much of a money grab. 
Pretty much have to spend money to compete with an average, below, or terrible team to start.

### 4/5 — Almost 5 stars…

*2025-11-29*

There is a glitch in the game, when you are on power play or penalty kill, the players that are not starters on your team are used in these scenarios. They are the worst players on the team and it ruins the game. Please fix this…

**Developer response:** Hello, we're sorry to hear you faced such an issue. Could you please reach out to us at support@2rk.games so we can check this? Thanks.
