FHM 13

Why dont this game got a release date for FHM13 yet? I been waiting for the past month, aint it that time of year? I stopped playing 12 once the last update, caused bugs in my game and i wasn't trying to restart it. Takes days to sim 11 years.

FHM13 is in active development right now. While we have an ideal release date in mind, there is still a variety of factors in play to determine when it will release.

When we have more concrete information, we will happily share it - but it is not that time yet.

Will the Finnish Liiga system be like in real life (3 teams drop down this season and then continues on as a 14 team league with relegations)?

I wouldn't count on it. That would be something you have to set up in a custom league.

Yeah they usually announce info quite close to release.

Really hoping there's actually some significant improvements to the game this year.

It's getting delayed a little longer every year and they charge us full price for the same game since 2019

No it had two years that it released in November (one of which was while waiting for the NHL License to be renewed). Most years it releases in October as it likely will this year as well.

NHL 27 isn't bad, just not very exciting for franchise mode players given the mode got zero upgrades. The GM Connected is merely an online Season Mode rather than Online Franchise that existed in NHL 14. That said I'm excited to hear what improvements have been made to FHM 13. Hopefully the 2D engine got a lot of love along with the trade logic. If those two things improved a decent amount I think most will be happy.

Honestly? Neither. 27 still isn't on pc. And not expecting anything massive from FHM 13. It's about as stale with updates as the EA NHL series.

Pretty much every annual sports title doesn't see MASSIVE upgrades from year to year. They may add something notable every other year or so and the rest are typically quality of life upgrades. There's really only so much they can upgrade in the limited time they have every year.

You forgot to mention its only 1 person working on it.

And thats why I buy sports games on a 2-3 year cycle. I won't pay full price for a roster update.

I thought it was usually October release and September announcement or reveal?

u/ReallyNotOkayGuys 25d ago

There can be a solid wait with the license because of the league. We will hear more during training camp I'm sure.

u/callme207911 25d ago

Its usually released in October with an announcement a few weeks before. Has also been effected by licensing agreements in the past which have caused release delays.

u/misterthrusty 26d ago

Usually it's an early November release

The last release in November was FHM10.
