But stats DONT MATTER in this game... My example would be outshooting a team by 30 in Squad battles. They have an OHL goalie in net and its nothing but one timers and cross crease. Pasta and Ovi can't score one timers on wide open nets because the OHL goalie makes 15 "spectacular" saves a game. Then my goalie, currently Markstrom, lets up 4 goals on 7 shots in the period. STATS DONT MATTER. This game is so far from being realistic, but to say woman stats are unreal is pointless. The fact that my goalie in squad battles has a sub .800 Save percentage in 17 games so far is what I believe to be TRULY unrealistic and more annoying. I will gladly buy a girl at auction for 1,050 coins who is an 85 rather than spend 40,000 coins on an 82 Seider card. Thats like saying the game is unrealistic because every ref is either African American or female. It doesnt change the game play. What changes the game play is the ridiculous amount of Ice tilt to computer teams and the fact that AI players just stand around and dont attempt to get open at all no matter what "strategy" you select. Those are issues that affect actual gameplay.
However, it is crappy of them to release the "top 50" and not have any of the girls on there when they are trying to preach inclusiveness. Then they just "forget" to include the true top 50 in their advertisements. unfortunately nothing will change until all of us get smart enough to stop buying the game and force EA to atleast try to make a decent game of hockey.
There is nothing wrong with the women being in HUT. Give it to around December/January when the cards are up there in overalls and the meta shifts to big players and the women will sadly be less effective. Also it shouldn't matter as long as the cards are good then enjoy them regardless of male/female.
