Buy Eastside Hockey Manager PC key

Eastside Hockey Manager is a hockey management simulation in which you take charge of a club or national team in one of the world’s top hockey-playing nations. You manage your roster and staff, set tactics and either appoint a head coach or handle coaching yourself. You can follow games live in a top-down 2D engine or watch highlights afterwards.

Manage your team

You control roster building, from offering contracts and scouting to drafting promising players and trading with other teams. You can hire coaches, scouts and physios, then create detailed tactics for the whole team, an individual unit or a single player. Trade negotiations reflect each team’s needs: some may exchange prospects for a key veteran, while others may move high-earning veterans to rebuild through the draft. An assistant can provide feedback on proposals, and you can gauge how interested other managers are in a trade.

Players develop and age naturally. New players come through junior systems, while older players eventually retire or move into non-playing careers. Role-based attributes make players more varied. Financial systems cover player contracts, salary caps and budgets, and a fantasy draft is available when starting a game.

Leagues and international play

The game includes more than 30 playable domestic leagues and cup competitions from around the world, with up-to-date rules and league structures. You can also manage international teams, including U20s, in major tournaments and less prominent competitions. A nation overview shows each country’s top leagues, clubs and players.

Games and multiplayer

The 2D game engine uses physics modelling for details such as deflections and shot-blocking, alongside player AI. You can zoom in on the action and watch your own games or those of rival teams. Online multiplayer lets up to 30 players compete head to head in the same game world.

Customisation and other features

Steam Workshop support lets you add user-created content such as custom databases and graphics. You can also import updated rosters or historical starting databases created for earlier versions of Eastside Hockey Manager. The game includes player and staff profiles, an intuitive central navigation bar, and all-star games with skills competitions.
