Buy Franchise Hockey Manager 7 PC key

Franchise Hockey Manager 7 is a hockey management game set in the 2020–21 season. Choose a team from one of dozens of leagues around the world, take charge of an NHL franchise in pursuit of the Stanley Cup, manage a national team, play through a historical season beginning as far back as 1917, or create customized leagues.

You oversee your team’s finances and strategies, hire staff, make trades, sign free agents and draft new players as you build toward a championship and a potential dynasty. Games are simulated in a rebuilt 2D engine, shown from a top-down view with fully animated action.

Leagues and history

Historical play includes international tournaments such as the 1972 Summit Series and the 1980 Miracle on Ice. The historical player database includes many non-NHL players, including stars from the Soviet bloc. Historical mode also includes full-career real-life statistics on player screens.

Historical evolution is configurable: you can choose whether league founding and closure, team expansion and deactivation, and rule changes follow their historical course. Historical play also includes the Waiver Draft in the years it existed, as well as its predecessor, the Intraleague Draft. Both drafts can also be enabled in other league types.

Custom leagues support as many leagues as you want, with flexible customization. A playoff editor lets you configure a system or choose from presets, and schedules can be exported, edited and re-imported. Many player, team and league details can be edited, including contract settings, favourites and foreign-player restrictions.

Run your team

The scouting system includes maps showing coverage by your team and individual scouts. Reports provide information about players, while Scouting Levels estimate the likelihood that a player will reach his potential. The draft screen adds mock drafts, draft reviews and scout recommendations. In modern and custom games, drafts take place in early July, allowing expansion teams to participate in their first season.

You can take more direct control of farm teams by managing their depth charts and hiring their staff. Players can be marked Untouchable to prevent trade offers for them, while players on other teams can be marked Not Interested to keep them out of trade offers to you. The player search filter supports minimum rating scores, and player and staff searches include a team search tab.

International hockey

You can manage national teams and compete for international supremacy. User-controlled national teams retain their rosters after tournaments, and the game records international staff histories. A national team’s success affects the quality of new players generated by that country. The game also includes expanded international player-stat histories and award histories for most leagues.

Other management changes

The news screen shows more headlines and flags personal messages and those that need a reply. The continue button alerts you to upcoming events such as drafts and trade deadlines. Player development now has separate Aging and Development Rate attributes, and roster AI has been adjusted to better assess player value and make free-agent signings.

Long-term leagues use less memory, improving performance for players with limited RAM. Box scores can be exported as CSV files. Historical player data for later years has been revised to correct inaccuracies and add more post-2010 players who have not yet made the NHL. The game also includes 2020–21 team and player updates.
