Make sure that you're on the new site, https://hockey.zengm.com. It might be a completely new game instead of the old one, I haven't checked the links just yet. But hot damn man, this is amazing news. Been waiting for such a long time. The dev said it hasn't been updated in 6 years and now we finally have this!!!

YYYYEEESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

There are too many new features to list here. We're talking basically this whole list, back to 2015. But here's a few random screenshots of new stuff in the game:
Redesigned player profile, including a new face generator, jersey numbers, and tons of convenience features Redesigned box score, including a convenient scoring summary News feed Revamped player mood system Easy customization of teams/divisions/conferences Team head-to-head results, which are used in better tiebreakers Expansion drafts Details of past trades Tons of new God Mode features

NO FUCKING WAY IM PLAYING IT RN what is the update
i can't see reddit on my school laptop
 
 
oh yes reloading the page right now!!
already promising!!!

More details:
The old ZenGM Hockey was based on Basketball GM from 2015. It was a hard fork of BBGM, meaning that basketball code was ripped out and hockey code was added in, resulting in a separate codebase. This was the easiest way to make a hockey game, but meant that it would be difficult to keep it in sync with further changes in BBGM, because any improvement related to that "ripped out and replaced" code would require some careful effort to update.
So it was kind of inevitable that ZenGM Hockey, like the other old ZenGM games, was eventually left to atrophy. It would have been an unreasonable amount of work to keep them all updated.
The situation changed in 2019, when I made the new Football GM. This was different because it was not a hard fork of BBGM. Instead, I rebuilt BBGM to have support for both basketball and football. Anywhere different code is required for those sports, it is handled inline. Then when compiling it, I just set a flag to pick which sport to activate. This was a lot more difficult than making a hard fork, but there is a huge advantage: it's easy to update both games in sync. And that has worked quite well. Whenever there is a new release of BBGM, there is also a new release of FBGM including the same improvements. So even at times when I'm completely focused on BBGM (I'm not going to lie, basketball is my favorite sport and probably always will be), FBGM still gets a lot of bug fixes and new features.
With all that work I did to put basketball and football in the same codebase, it is now feasible to do the same for other sports. And today that has finally happened for hockey. This new release of ZenGM Hockey brings you all the features added to BBGM and FBGM since early 2015, which is a lot of features! And any improvements I made to BBGM and FBGM in the future will also be included in ZenGM Hockey.

im gonna keep playing it, simply because hockey is my favorite sport and it i the only one that has my hometown in it.  i have tried the baseball, baseball beta and basketball though. theres also somehow no soccer

HockeyGM is woefully bad. The devs simply do not give it any attention, but they've made Football GM and Basketball GM really good. I've been eagerly waiting for the day Hockey GM gets some love, but it's just broken. I've had my "third line" group get more ice time than my "second line." One season I created, my second line averaged under 1 minute per game for the entire season. It's ridiculous. I'd advise you to just not bother with ZenGM's hockey game and to find some other one, or play their Football or Basketball sim. 

you can still join Moscow though if you manage to get on!

Finally the breakout season I've been waiting for, for you. So happy to see the hard work paying off on the scoresheet. Love to see it!
