Some other nice stuff in there, too, even if you already have FHM - Pool Nation is pretty well-regarded, and Total Pro Golf 3 is the first Steam game from our friends at Wolverine Studios. And I've heard good things about the baseball game.

Questions about FX Football(Soccer) and World Basketball Tycoon?

Can you have fictional leagues? If yes how many teams per league?

Can the schedules be edited?

Can you play regular season games between leagues?

Can you play historical leagues?



Is it 2.99 for all 7 games combined or 2.99 for each game separately? It does say its a bundle but when you go to one of the games it says 2.99 at the bottom of the screen.

2.99 for all. FX11 you can't do any of that and I would expect the same for WBT but that's just a guess.

I was reading about FX11 and it said that you can edit but don't know about league sizes and schedules,etc.

You have to manually copy and paste the keys into Steam's "Add a game" dialogue window. You'll find the keys on your Bundle Stars account page.

This has nothing to do with gaming..

2.99 for 7 desktop games is simply disgusting! It also shows what your source code is worth ( about 0.40 cents per license in this bundle ) after spending so many hours working and really improving it since october.

How difficult can it be to search online through Facebook or Twitter for 50 ( Americans or Canadians ) die hard hockey fans who have never heard about you as a company or your game and give those 50 people a free copy of FHM 14, instead of collecting about 0.40 cents per license of people who probably never ever play your game in the first place because they don't understand hockey. It's not their interests and they only bought your game because it was part of a lot, they looked at the figure 2.99 + 7 games = Let's do it, and take a look later what we've really bought.

If you give your game 50 times away to specific people who are really interested in playing this game because they know the sport that's would be about 20,- investment in your own company. So if a single person out of those new list of 50 will decide to buy FHM 15 when it releases you already have gained 'profit' of that 20,- investment and it also was effective.


I don't like those bundles at all. First they show no respect to the developer or the code, secondly I hate them because they make it look like developers wanna squeeze/milk their products till the very last cent and third and final they advertise them wrongly. It's all about paying only 2.99 and saving more than 90,- while it should be getting to know new software instead!

Lots of people who like hockey are buying this.

It's basically advertising while making a little money. Jeff posted here and is okay with it. 2015 will done out soon and 14 will be obsolete.

There's a games tab on the very top. After you click that, it should say activate a product on STEAM. You put the key in and you're good to go.

Agreed! If people like those games they'll buy the next version for a much higher price. I think it's a smart marketing move, better take a few dollars than no dollars at all.

The Basketball Game looks interesting but does it have Trades and so on that Fast Break Basketball has. Also already have OTTP and FHM versions in it.

Feels quite familiar. I bought the OOTP14 with couple of euros just for curiosity and interest in generally for manager games. Some days later I bought OOTP15 for full price..

Even though I do not have much time to focus OOTP / baseball and hockey is by far more familiar for me. Mostly my time in game has so far been to find out what all stats, abbreviations, basic tactics and rules are. But I find still OOTP very interesting and it raised my interest to baseball also.

We've found that the Humble Bundle with OOTP 14 did quite well for us and gave us a boost on Steam. I don't know how many people who bought that bundle will become customers, but we felt it was a worthwhile fishing expedition.

Same with this bundle. And since we only have one version of FHM out there, we had to use the current one if we wanted to put the game in more people's hands. Given the word of mouth that has happened, I'm sure there are some hockey fans who have bought that bundle to get FHM and check it out.

And if anyone wants to post the names of big hockey fans I should target, feel free to post them here or send me a PM. BTW, I'm referring to hockey fans who have large followings on Twitter or elsewhere, not web sites or journalists or people like Kevin Smith. (The actor Jay Baruchel is a big hockey fan and has had a copy of FHM since the Beta days.)

I was one of those that ventured into the FHM due to the bundle. Haven't ran into any issues, but I haven't played much.

FHM and OOTP 14 (plus 5 other games) for $2.99

I got the bundle even though I already own 3 out of the 7 games.

I was going to wait for FHM 15 but I couldn't pass up this deal.

I haven't got into the game yet but man do I wish there was an add on central. Its going to be a pain looking for all the graphics and for me it's hard to get into these games with generic graphics. I need the immersion.

I got a stupid question. I bought the bundle,so I have (2) FHM games. When the update comes will it automatically update both games because I prefer the newer game not to have the update(or patch) so I can complete the game I'm playing?
