Follow-up and a Challenge to Cheesers, Exploiters, and even EA itself

I am back again with a follow-up to my previous post on the forum. I also posted it verbatim over on the Reddit forums. It has gotten a LOT of interest and discussion over there. However, I would not...

How about you do the reverse and lead by example.

Show the people here footage of you playing a full game of "real" hockey.

@JubeiDOK Yeah, that makes total sense. Why not watch some actual NHL games for reference, seeing as the game is meant to be an accurate representation of THAT?

Seems to be the proper comparison to me. Or should all the alleged simulated sports games look like people playing backyard flag football, beer league softball, hitting golf balls at a driving range, playing tennis at a park, and so on? Is THAT how you want your "It's In the game!" to look and play? Or would you prefer it... you know... play like the professional equivalent it claims to be?

Make a better argument than that if you want to be an EA apologist.

    I'm sorry you took that comment as hostile.

    But I don't think it's really fair to ask others to supply footage of their play if you're not willing to do the same.

    I've played this game for many years and I've heard the same song about "sim" hockey year after year, but when you play games with these people they don't even understand how to skate in the game yet.

    All I'm really saying, is there are a lot of different people out there, all playing what they think is real hockey and their views don't always match up.

    So it will be easier for people to understand what you mean if you show them how you play.

      This seems fair
