@KidShowtime1867I can list many immersion breaking actions in NHL which most have been brought up on these threads, goalies/players own goals, saves being made with the glove in the net..
The pace of the game is different but on ways can be more complex when it comes to how players react to ball movement, to diving catches to a double play. Each has their own complexities.
For mlb if you want to take your point, this can be based around player stats either card or offline stats. Real life players can over or under throw a ball ot not have the accuracy. This is the same in NHL where a high end player does not score every goal even with the xfactor.
So would that also be defined as immersion breaking in NHL?

Yes, which is why I said
I understand there are extremely stale presentation elements and gameplay bugs that can break that immersion, but you're going to get that in any game.
My point is that authenticity typically refers to the ability for the game to immerse you. Everyone posting in this forum has been immersed in this game at some point. That immersion being broken from time to time does not negate the claim to being 'authentic'. Immersion breaks happen in all games, even ones that claim to be 'authentic'.
