What types of things would you like to see added in to hockey games? Or converesely taken out.
There are a few things that I would like to see.
1. Add in the penalties for shooting it over the glass
2. I would like to be able to edit assists within 30second of playing time after a goal. While NHL08 is by far the best at crediting assists properly yet it still rips players of assists far too often. Im sorry but if it goes off a Dman or the goalie makes the initial save and it trickles in the assists still count.
3. This is a take out. Dump how all the players from the Euro leagues come to the AHL/NHL as in 08 and then become elite players and have better ratings/upside than many 3rd and 4th line NHLers.
4. Related to number 3, I would like to see more affiliation of players in the Euro leagues and their nhl teams. Make UFA's UFA's sure, but if a euro is going to come to NA it should be as a roster/farm player of the nhl team that owns their rights.
5. Make UFA more realistic. Add in RFAs, dont make everyone a UFA, far too much player movement in NHL08 and 2k7 which are my two last games.
6. Older players should retire when they have declined in production/ratings not when they hit a certian age. It pisses me off when i have a player retire who is still playing at a high level. If you want them to retire at a certian age, make them start to have declining skill sets.
7. Players asking for the moon. In UFA with my Oilers I have to let one of either Horcoff or Stoll go because they are both suddenly 6 million dollar players. Come on, not even close.
8. Make scouting mean something. I find it is a total crap shoot, even more so than in real life. My scouts all seem to suck. i consistently go with guys that my scouts like and I consistently draft players with low potential. Granted, this is countered by signing the UFA guys who have 90-99 potential, but that is just too easy. I prefer to be able to draft a good team. Why not have scouts who recommend 5 players to draft, 1 who will become a star, 1 who will play, 1 who will be an AHL/4th line player, 2 busts of course in the higher rounds have it so more players are likely to become good and less in lower rounds etc. It seems that they only recommend busts. The scouting in NHL08 annoys me. At least in the 2k series, if you dont want to rely on crappy scouts you can play with the players in the scouting season and see who you like.
