Overtime clock suggestion
Been thinking about this for a while and would like to put a suggestion forward:
I would like to have an option for the overtime period length to be real-time, rather than prorated to the regulation period length. Basically overtime kind of sucks because I want the 3 on 3 hockey, but it feels like it goes by wayyyy too quickly and then I have to deal with a shootout which kind of kills the vibe.
To build on this, I think it would be awesome to be able to make your own overtime rules. Something like:
Overtime Skaters: 3<->4<->5
Overtime Period length: same options as regulation period length
Overtime Period Amount: 1 (like the regular season, after the period ends, moves on to a shootout or ends the game in a tie)<->Unlimited (like playoff overtime rules)
Shootout: ON<->OFF
Gameclock style: Real-Time (clock starts at selected period length and counts down in real time) <-> Accelerated (current gameclock behaviour)
Would also be cool to have a non-sudden death overtime option, like how it works in basketball or baseball, where the full period is played out regardless of if there's a goal scored or not.
I understand that thies changes probably wouldn't be very high priority, but would really enhance the overtime experience, for me at least.
