That would be awesome!
I'd love classic teams.

In NBA2K11, the teams are represented well against their era well. So a team from the 80's will be much slower and smaller than a team from 2010.

But I'm sure if they had these teams, every Leaf fan will try to redo '93 all over again. And possibly to snipe Kerry Fraser.

Oh, are we going to see the 1-3-1 in the game?

This. There needs to be actually strategies that do something in the game, rather than them just telling us "use create a play"

Great read! I'm just concerned with one thing, are these traits dependent on player tendencies/ratings or player types?

13 forwards type and only 2 defenseman type???

Shouldn't come as a surprise since any D in that game can get is jock handed to him by dangling from Riley Cote or Derek Boogard in NHL 11.

Been an NHL fan since I'm 4 years old, and it's obvious that there's only 2 traits in the NHL community for D-man.

Should have used Sean Avery for net agitator with his way of distracting goal tenders.

I like this addition. I think this was a perfect time to begin introducing these traits, especially since Madden is re-introducing player traits to their game. I just hope this doesn't replace the traditional player roles such as Playmaker, Sniper, etc. While I could probably tell you every NHL player's tendency in NHL game terms by now, it's nice to have in there when it comes to younger players and prospects.
