The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, glitches, and significant freezing issues that hinder navigation and gameplay. While some improvements have been noted compared to previous versions, the overall experience remains frustrating due to persistent AI problems and contract coding errors. Many players express disappointment, feeling that the game is poorly made and not enjoyable.
- “Whilst I'm fortunate that I've not had many crashes yet, the game freezes for 5-10 seconds every time you click the drop-down menu or any options in it, making it incredibly difficult to navigate around the game.”
- “I honestly think I could make a better hockey game using a spreadsheet... it glitches, it crashes, and there are features of the game that do not function at all.”
- “The kicker is Steam won't refund my money either because it took me 4 hours to sift through all the crashes and glitches before I realized that there was nothing left but a giant turd of a video game.”

The gameplay mechanics are generally well-received, particularly the scouting, trading, and tactics; however, players express frustration with the text-based coaching system and the need for improved animations to enhance clarity during games. While the game is stable during the season, offseason simulations are seen as a slowdown, and persistent bugs detract from the overall experience, highlighting a disconnect between coaching decisions and on-ice performance.
- “Love the mechanics of the game.”
- “Love the scouting, trading, and tactic mechanics.”
- “I really hope that animation will replace the text-based gameplay (for coaching actual games); it's hard to tell sometimes where the puck is.”
- “The game never crashed for me during the season, but that offseason simulation annoys me and slows my gameplay.”
- “Five FHM iterations later and still the glaring disconnect between coaching decisions and on-ice simulation gameplay.”

The graphics in the game have been criticized for lacking meaningful representation, particularly in preseason matches, leading players to prefer skipping to the results screen. Additionally, the updated interface is seen as only a minor improvement over the previous design, failing to deliver a significant graphical enhancement.
- “The preseason game I played did not have any kind of graphic representation of the game, so you just want to skip the log and go to the results screen as fast as possible.”
- “The 'all new interface' is just the same old UI with slightly better graphics.”
