Re: Why charge us $70 for half a game?
To add to this, while I was playing this poor excuse of a video game, I noticed you guys are such dumbasses the calls don't even line up!
Hands on hips is the signal for a misconduct, not a game misconduct. If you are calling a 5 min. major and a game misconduct for a check from behind (or a check in the shoulder, as they seem to be called in this garbage), you give the signal for what you are calling, the same as with any minor. If you are calling a check from behind, give the signal for check from behind, not a misconduct penalty thats not even being given.
Challenging a player to fight and being turned down is NOT a reason to give an unsportsmanlike penalty. If it was, then the real NHL would just be 3 on 3 hockey because there would be so many unsportsmanlike penalties being dished out. If the challenging player persists when the player being challenged is clearly showing no interest in dropping the gloves, then you may start to consider penalty time.
Boarding is NOT called every time a player is checked into the boards. Boarding is defined in the rulebook as "any check causing a player to be VIOLENTLY thrown into the boards" and if you don't know what "violently" is defined as, then maybe you need to work with some officials to get the call right. Players are allowed to hit, this is the NHL, not PeeWee.
It's in your best interest to actually pay some attention to this, I am a hockey official and I know what I'm talking about.
Clearly nobody on your team knows anything about hockey, so why are you making a video game based on the NHL that is closer to a badly called female game on ice that hasn't been resurfaced in 50 years? Make sure you know what you're doing before you do it.
