EHM The Blue Line

Hope not years...

FYI regarding the 1.5 update

On Twitter Riz was asked over the past weekend "just wondering if there is any news on the potential release of the EHM patch v1.5"

Riz replied "There's no release date locked for it. Testing is going well, still some minor issues to sort out though" and when then asked "Thinking this year?" he replied "Hopefully yes. Depends a bit on my regular FM duties at work as well."

FYI some recent Twitter comments from Riz regarding the 1.5 patch

On August 10th Riz was asked "This reminds me and sorry for keep asking, but is there still no timetable for the new #EHM patch?" and Riz replied "We cannot promise a release date on the patch as I'm not working full time on it and thus cannot estimate when things on my list will get addressed. But testing is already ongoing."

The next day, in response to a tweet that said "Call me crazy, but it feels like you are making an new EHM instead of just one new patch " Riz said "The WIP changelist posted on our forums is indeed quite massive but you also need to consider the fact that I can only work on things when I have the time from other duties, so development is sporadic. But it's better than nothing "

He should release the WIP to TBL to help assist with the testing? Few people, NDA ect. That would really speed things up!

He don't want. Simply.

My sincere apologies if this question has already been addressed in another post, and I may have overlooked it.

With the start of the new NHL season almost upon us, and with the many structural changes this league and others have implemented, would it be at all possible to provide a general up-date as to what we might expect going forward over the near term insofar as start of the season rosters, and any other game features / changes that might be soon released?

And lastly, please allow me to express my deep appreciation and thanks to all the many dedicated individuals of this site who have contributed so much effort and so many hours in continuing to breath life into this series that provides for the rest of us so many hours of engagement & enjoyment. Every year I give the FHM series a whirl, but inevitably find it lacking and come back 'home' to EHM for my hockey management fix.

So once again thanks, and to all the EHM fans out there, good health and stay safe.

Cheers

Provisional changelist was posted last May https://community.sigames.com/forums/to ... -patch-15/ (also, I think there have been some additional changes since then)

Hi, I agree dude, I'm really glad they fixed that too)))

Now that 1.5 is in beta and being tested (very happy about that). Does anyone have any info on what might be included in 1.6?

This is what I have read on discord, posted by xECK29x

All the game needs is the underlying core to be moved into the modern FM engine, it’s totally possible and something Riz has started he just doesn’t have the time to put into it as it’s a passion project at this point.


Does it mean we have EHM 1 successor ?

No I think this is a slight misunderstanding. EHM 1 already has elements of the more modern FM engine/features IIRC. It's simply that perhaps more might come in the future but we'll have to wait and see. Riz has always said he'd like to see an EHM 2 but who knows.

Btw I always found it confusing that the current EHM is called EHM 1 rather than EHM 4 (seeing as EHM 2007 was version 3).

Sounds great

With the amount of hours the EHM titles have entertained me over 15 odd years, I would gladly pay 150 $ or more for EHM 2.
