Yes...the idea is to play YOUR games.
But at the very same time...the rest of the league is simming and 10 has some truly ugly warts in multiple areas of that part of the game. From stats through trades.
If you are going to play single games....10 is definitely ahead overall.
If you want to zoom out a bit and look at the whole picture......

From your perspective, yes. From mine and other people who enjoy producing sim franchises, not necessarily.

I've said it before, but - a game loses all of its appeal to me (and other sim guys) if the sim experience ends when the final buzzer sounds. Obviously you care about gameplay enough to have that direct your decisions regarding these two games, but you fail to realize that everyone does not fit that mold. I'm not sure if you play Madden or NCAA but if you do, and read these forums, you'll realize that off-field sim experience is just as vital as 'fun' gameplay.

10 might be more polished, or even more fun, but that has nothing to do with being more sim. Neither is fully sim, but NHL 10 is not more sim as an overall franchise package. Given that you clearly don't care about achieving a true sim franchise experience, I'm not sure why you even care.

Eh we agree to disagree. 10's a better game period imo, and is much closer to representing the sport the way things are implimented, but hey enjoy your simming, I'm sure thats a ton of fun.

Seriously man, it's getting boring coming in here. it's either that or you have the guys that say BOTH games are good over and over again.

Mods hardly ever come in here and regulate.

Simming? You again completely miss the point, but there is clearly no point in arguing with you.

Hopefully we get word on the exact details soon, would be nice to know what exactly they're looking at.
