Ok - obviously EA is trying to appeal to the largest audience and the tastes of this audience run the full spectrum. We have some people who are asking why penalties aren't realistic. We have others asking why they can't play full 15 minute quarters and have a realistic number of plays. We have yet others who are pissed because some teams should have black shoelaces but do not.
So...what I'm asking - do we REALLY want the absolute, 100% realism in a video game? If that occurs, is the fun factor extinguished? For instance, does one REALLY want to have to play full 15 minute quarters? Does one really want to get bogged down in the number of penalties that occur in a real game? Does one not want to EVER be able to complete a 40-yard pass into quadruple coverage?
This is a philosophic question. I sometimes wonder if we had ABSOLUTE realism that they just wouldn't be fun anymore.

Put it this way - the old NHL 93, 94 games on Geneis KILL the new ones.
