Franchise Hockey Manager 8 scratches a very specific itch. It’s a game for hardcore hockey fans who want a deeper experience than the typical console franchise mode has to offer. It is not without some familiar flaws, but FHMprovides a fun, deep, and reliable hockey-sim experience every year.

If you’re a hockey super fan, you’ll love FHM 8. In fact, every hockey fan should own at least one version of Franchise Hockey Manager. However, if you’re a general sports fan and not a puck-obsessed Canadian (Bonjour! C’est moi), you will probably be better off with OOTP Baseball or Football Manager.

Yes, most of us are all very excited, or at least, very curious to see what EA’s new college football series will bring to the table in the next couple years. Although the series is returning in some form, that doesn’t eradicate the fact that video game fans will have gone over a decade without an updated college football title to fire up during the coinciding college football season.

With all the talk about WWF No Mercy, I always think of the story mode in that game. How can AEW’s story mode stack up against some of its predecessors, and more importantly, what can we expect? Here’s how I’d like to see AEW approach story mode in its upcoming wrestling video game.

Finest Fernando Tatis Jr. Team Affinity 5Team Affinity 5 for MLB The Show 21 is the last humongous content drop for the ’21 season. It’s been a great year, and we’ll still have a 10th Inning Program, but this feels like the end of the year for the most part. The structure is similar toTeam Affinity 4, with now Finest cards taking the lead as the top rewardsthroughout the six divisions. There are four levels of exchanges on top of a Conquest map and other ways to get to the end of the rewards path for each division. Below you can find every player card, attribute, and quirk, plus you can see what the reward structure is for each division.

We’ll see you again next Sunday with more sports gaming news, videos and featured articles.
