Question for Strat Hockey players.
I guess being stuck for several days due to the weather here in the Sooner State, got me interested in resurrecting my old SOM hockey game. Its the old Version 2, but still works, even tho I still...

Ragsdale54:I haven't had the same problem as you with the shell.dll message but I also haven't tried to install new seasons. Could be a licensing issue, due to Strat's onerous ownership policy. I...

I have all 6 versions of SOM Hockey.I do not find the line combo's to be that much of an issue anymore do to the CM Depth charts. BUT --- You still have to go in prior to the season and do some work...

Great insight, Wayne. Thanks.I may hold onto my sheckels for a better hockey game for seasonal play, if all Strat does is stick to end-of-year rosters. It's the most involving of any of the hockey...

I'm waiting for a good hockey game to come out too. I tried Strat- and it's by far the finest game out there. Tried Quest. It may be accurate but I didn't get much input into the flow of the game. I...

I hear you, Powayslugger. I wish there was a decent game, too. Strat, Faceoff, and Quest each have their positives but they also have far too many negatives to be considered decent games. I've played...

Guys:There is no doubt that Quest is well behind the refinement of Action games, but there is no question the game is improving with every new release, the latest of which came out two weeks ago. If...

Hey Gananda ... can you answer this for me about QUEST?The Problem .... In SOM you get the roster of each team as they were on the final game of the season. Example --- Minnesota WildManny Fernandez...

OK, Gananda, you've got me interested. Every game has to start small before it grows, so I'm going to give the Quest demo another shot. With the lack of alternatives, it could easily take the crown as...

Jprywell:Its all about preference, but I think the game is making huge strides. There is a definite lack of seasons available, so that makes it limited, but the ones that are available - 1951, 1967...

Wayne:To be honest, the only two seasons I have used are 1975 and 2007, both of which were user-created, and my own all-time franchise teams. In all cases, the rosters are complete as far as I can...

Gananda: I gave the Quest demo another go last night. While still far from great, it's definitely improving.My biggest problem with the game, though. is the lack of strategy. For instance, on the...

Jprywell:All your points are dead on, the game engine definitely needs refinement in all those areas, and I hope Joe will be able to come through in future releases. There's really nothing I can say...

I second that one, Gananda Yank. I also can't seem to get too worked up over Strat. Quest at least has some growth potential.jprywell

Downloaded the Quest Demo ... Played 7 games so far with the demo.I sure hope the "real" game has more to offer. Cant get excited about what I see in the demo.I change lines when my players change...

Wayne:Again, I feel like I'm repeating myself over and over, but the game definitely has a ways to go, there's no denying that. But the good news is that Joe is working hard to improve it. It's not...

Quote:As hockey sims go, it's the best one out thereI disagree. SOM is head and shoulders better than Quest at this point. Quest is an incomplete game. I know Joe, I have talked with him. I am aware...

Wayne, as a SOM hockey owner and a Quest owner, I totally disagree with you. SOM is not even accurate so for us replayers, its pretty useless. I had a crash and the SOM tech support was not helpful....

I tried strat and quest. In my opinion, both games are 'push the button and watch what is happening' games. It seems that both offere only limted game interaction. I don't know what I'm looking for in...

I think you are missing the "little" things with the SOM game. I can impact a SOM game and its Stats in a huge way. I have only played the Quest Demo, but in the 7 games I have played, a pop up screen...
