SEGA today advised that Eastside Hockey Manager is making its return.
Exactly like the Football Manager franchise, Eastside Hockey Manager was released between 2004 and 2007 and let “ice hockey fans across the globe… test their management credentials from the comfort of their own homes,” according to SEGA.
The game is available from today on Steam Early Access.
Eastside Hockey Manager “allows you to take full control of your roster – you decide who to sign, who to trade and who to draft,” SEGA continued. “You assemble the perfect coaching team and then, with everything in place, you can choose to either employ a head coach to guide your team from behind the bench, or take control of the coaching duties yourself. Whichever you choose, you’ll follow the action ‘live’ through the ultra-realistic ‘top down’ 2D match engine.”
The game uses the “world’s top hockey-playing nations” and doesn’t look to be affiliated with any actual leagues.
