Franchise Hockey Manager returns for the 2024-25 season with plenty of additions to the deepest, most authentic hockey strategy gaming experience you can find. Choose from teams around the globe and select a team to guide to glory, including a chance at the ultimate prize, the Stanley Cup®.
We've released an early hotfix to take care of some of more urgent issues in yesterday's release. We'll be releasing a second one fairly soon with additional fixes that couldn't be done quite as quickly, but this one should take care of the worst of the problems.
Your existing savegames will be compatible with the updated game; saves that were getting crashes in February 2025 during the 4-Nations Cup should will now continue without a crash.

-games should be viewable in classic mode again, no black screen/crash

-historical mode now has its correct preset injuries/suspensions file
