The EHM offers fans the most realistic, detailed, and immersive hockey simulation of all, giving them the chance to manage a club or country among the leading nations in world hockey.

EHM allows you to take full control of your team: you decide on new signings, line-ups, and compose the perfect training squad. Once everything is set, you can choose whether to use a head coach to guide your team, or take on the role of coach yourself. Whatever your choice, you can follow the live action or watch game highlights created with the 2D engine.

To mark the transition from Early Access to full release availability, EHM is offering a series of new and updated features, including: more domestic leagues and cup competitions, integration with the Steam Workshop, additional screen resolutions, and a multiplayer game option where up to 30 players can compete against each other, alongside various improvements inspired by player feedback.

Highlights

2D Engine Dynamics
Follow the action of your games or your rivals' games through the advanced "aerial" perspective of the 2D engine, which incorporates cutting-edge physical modeling (including realistic deflections and saves) and convincing player AI. There is even a zoom mode for those who want to get closer to the action.

Contemporary and Realistic Game Environment
A world where players can manage and train in over 30 domestic leagues and cup competitions worldwide, each with updated rules and internal structures.

Multiplayer Action
Up to 30 can compete face-to-face in the same online world.

Integration with Steam Workshop
EHM includes support for the inclusion of user-created content (such as databases and custom graphics) through the intuitive Steam Workshop system.

Complete Team Management
You have control over the organization and management of your team, including everything from contract offers to searching for promising players, recruiting players with potential, and making trades with other teams.

Complete Support Staff Management
You have control over the staff in addition to players, including the ability to hire coaches, scouts, and physiotherapists.

Total Tactical Control
Coaches can get the best out of their players by creating and managing detailed tactics, which can be configured for an entire team, a specific unit, or even a single player.

Realistic Game Negotiations
Presidents can gauge interest in proposals from competing teams and seek opinions from their assistants. Each team has its needs. Some are willing to trade less experienced players for a strong veteran to become a true threat, while others may be interested in selling expensive veterans to rebuild the entire lineup.

Intuitive User Interface
The centralized navigation bar facilitates management and makes it more intuitive with all controls incorporated into the main menu bar.

Enhanced Player Progression
Players develop and age naturally, with new players emerging from junior leagues and older players retiring or changing careers. Additionally, the attribute modeling by role makes players more realistic and diverse.

International Management
EHM includes the opportunity to manage international teams (including under-20s) in all major tournaments and various minor competitions.

Database Import
The database format allows the user to import their updated teams and even historical starting databases (created for previous versions of EHM).

And much, much more…
Including: detailed financial modeling for player contracts, salary caps, and budgets; a national view screen that lets you see all top leagues, clubs, and players in each country; player and other staff profiles; an option to start the game with a fantasy lineup; games with prominent players and skill competitions; and several other features.
