YES, we’ll kinda ! When I play a pretty good baseball simulation like THE SHOW, I try to play like the real thing of the bat. I also play player lock and remove everything from the HUD and go to the plate on the highest pitching difficulty. The game didn’t tell me to do it, I do it myself. Because I wanna feel like what it’s like to be at bat and receive a 100 MPH fastball !! Yes, I could play with OOTB difficulty and crush the AI, but why would I ? That’s not realistic to me and it’s not fun… We’ll at least not to me 😏

Yes, of course… Because I chose to. You are right, it’s not on me to do it, but the tools are there (even if they are not optimized) but I refuse to play the game OOTB even with the Simulation sliders because to me they are a joke ! And yes, I have spent countless hours to make the game play like I want it to, that’s because I’m a hockey freak ! lol ! And now all the tweaks and fixes I’ve done are there for everyone to use if they want… I even put out a version 2 of a roster with more Active DMen…. DMen that were left to dry by EA IMO…
Like I said, to me playing hockey, is soooo far off what is being played online. Yes I play by my house rules like you say, but isn’t my "house rules" more like actually being on the ice and like playing this beautiful game ??
