I think perhaps many North Americans aren't all that interested in coaching/GM sims. I think it's more playing the game rather than coaching - hence the EA Sports' NHL and Madden series do so well whereas we don't see any major developer in North America developing a sports management sim. Instead it's the likes of British-based SI Sports and German-based OOTP who develop the big sports management sims. If the NA market was larger then perhaps EHM would have had enough sales to make it a viable project.

Oh that makes total sense... me being Swedish and all. It's in my blood? Then there is baseball... I disagree though. There are more NA fans that are more interested in coaching/gm sims than you think. I miss the old EHM game.
