Why are you making up things I'm saying and then saying those made-up things are insane? I never once said "I expect this game to have an honor system"
I said that if you want ANY sports game EVER made to play EXACTLY like the real world sport, you need BOTH parties to commit to playing a 'sim' style. Denying this fact while being completely absorbed in online play is what I could call "insane".

That is exactly what you are saying. You are saying the people playing the game need to play sim, regardless of whether or not that is incentivized. That means you think it is up to the people playing the game to make it sim, not for the developers to do that. That is the honor system.
You think it should be this:
"I should ice the puck on the PK because it is sim, even though I could easily go end-to-end and get a scoring chance and increase my chances of winning"
I think it should be this:
"I should ice the puck on the PK because if I don't I will likely make a turnover which will result in the power play getting more zone time and possibly more scoring chances, which would decrease my chances of winning"

You're not wrong, but playing HUT - you will NEVER encounter anyone who thinks like this. It will be constant exploiting, gaming the mechanics, forever and ever until EA becomes the first developer in history to recreate a sport 1:1.
Just saying man - a lot of your gripes are due to the nature of HUt itself, and nothing to do about whether anyone on the development team knows hockey as well as you.
