Realistic goalie pulls, pull goalie (cpu) with 1.5-2.5 minutes left rather then just 30 seconds, and improve the AI to be more aggressive at puck retrieval, smarter with decisions and incorporate desperation into their game play.
2. Allow ai to pull goalie when 3 or 4 down in a crucial game, like a playoff game or fighting for the playoff seeding.
Return full presentation including a full pre game, with more analysis done, and also incorporate more info on the scorebug including playoff series info (X team leads 3-1).
Voices for refs
Goalie injuries in games, multiple fights, net front intense scrums, bench brawls
Coach’s challenge (incorporate human element missed calls on offsides, goalie interference, etc.)
A realistic setting so if i wanted to play 20 min periods, the game stats would resemble the real nhl and have this apply at any period length.
Louder crowds in playoff games vs regular season
