So here is my story...I have been playing as the same Penguins GM since 01/30/2011 on EHM '07. Yes, I coach all the games. 1214 saves and 123 days in 'game time' later, it is January 1st, 2043. Crosby, who retired with 3095 points is 55 years old, and one of my scouts. My team has won the President's Trophy every year, culminating in 23 Stanley Cups. (To keep it interesting, I coach during the regular season, and let my coaches take over in the play-offs).
I started playing with the '04 version of EHM (still have the CD, manual and box even), then moved on to '07. Now that there is a new version, that is the best news yet! But now I am torn between starting the '15 version, or continuing with my '07 four-and-a-half year long trek with the Pens...
First of all, how long will the game let me go on as the Pens in the '07 version? Is there an eventual limit?? I am guessing I can have both versions downloaded on my comp.

I retired my only carrer in '07, which lasted on and off from the 2007 - 2015 (I came to around 2030 game time). But I haven't yet started EA carrer, I'm waiting for and working on my local league to be playable...
I would recommend you to keep both games and play the one you like more at the moment

Notify Riz (if there is a plan for Slo league) about format changes for 15/16 season

I believe there's no limit to how long you can go. You can play forever.
I personally would recommend switching to EA. But of course you can keep both installed.

Yeah, go to EA. I'm struggling hard with the game but that is due to me not understanding the changes made to the engine. It's an upgrade for sure, the only thing is that it isn't finished yet so there's a lot of tweaks coming out.

I'd say move to EA, personnaly I have the two games installed and I switched to EA pretty fast

Also, buyin it today instead of later helps the community to show SI that there's interest in the new game !

I made jump to EA right away. Although I don't play it that much....first it is so hot in Croatia I simply can't be in front of PC and second I am waiting for 15/16 rosters
