With love for the game

Game Plan Hockey Manager is an online hockey manager game with tremendous depth, inspired by the excellence of Football Manager. It's played in a MMORPG fashion where you act as the manager of a hockey team and compete with other managers from all over the world. It's designed to be easy to play but hard to master and we're proud to say that we're constantly evolving our game engine's AI-level and creating a very sophisticated experience where both player skills and personalities are of importance.

A clean and easy-to-use interface is important to us and the game is played directly in your browser and is designed for both desktops and phones/tablets. Game Plan Hockey Manager is NOT a Pay-to-win game — no shortcuts to bring your team to the top. Instead GPHM has a small monthly fee that guarantees an equal and fair competition for everyone. We really love the game of hockey and all development are based on four core values; Love for stats, A realistic feel, Details that matter and Play-by-play simulations.

Love for stats

Hockey fans love their stats. Most of us can browse hockey databases for hours and why shouldn´t a game offer the same possibility? Therefore all player and team stats are highly detailed, saved over the seasons and plays an important role in the game, not least when picking your next transfer target.

That realistic feel

Although the game doesn´t contain real players or teams, it´s designed to feel as realistic as possible. Even with a great roster you won´t win any games if you don´t pay attention to players confidence, contract happiness, fatigue, the team spirit or even who you pick as captains. It all adds up to what makes a team a success or a failure.

Details matter

Height, weight, skills, age, psychological profile, you name it - it all matters. Every detail you see in the game is of importance. Nothing is for show. And why should it? A manager game is all about the little things and it´s by paying attention to the details that can give a manager an advantage over his or hers fellow competitors.

Play by play

No one wants a random game result. That´s why all games are simulated play by play. Your players will face the opponents players shift by shift throughout the entire game. The tactics you choose will be up against your competitors. This will force the game momentum to change, so choose them wisely.

Game basics - the short version

The game is played within the context of a game world which means that there is a limited amount of teams available. Game worlds come in different simulation speed options to fit most schedules; Slow (one game every 24h), Normal (one every 12h) and Fast (one every 6h). Each game world contains of six playable league levels with 28 teams in each level. Together these leagues form the main competition where teams may be promoted or relegated throughout the league levels where the ultimate goal is to win the Golden Cup. These leagues are fictive leagues based in North America, but there are also non playable leagues, teams and players in Europe making each Game World the complete hockey experience.
