Also have to agree with what Patrick has wrote here. I loved the Skills Comp. mode in 2000 (I Believe). Great when you had some buddies over and didn't want to play a full game. Plus it's quicker then playing a full game, so more guys get involved and more playing time.

i don't understand why they don't have cumulative stat totals after goals. i've been complaining about it for years and it seems like such common sense and a simple thing to add. that and fantasy draft not being included are my biggest gripes.

Glad to see someone else agrees and I'm not out in left field here. As I said, I know NHL '93 had it, why on earth with all the advances in video games would you take something like this away. Seems ridiculous.

Maybe it would be better if EA designated a Jr team to keep working on released products. A team that worked with the main group that produced the game and know it inside and out. That way the big squad can concentrate on the next version, while the "protege's" can work on bugs and patches for the current version.

I don't know really. But, with the economy the way it is and everything the last thing I see companies doing is hiring more people, especially for sales that are already completed.
