awful-
hitz pro had a better sim engine than that.

Maybe the NBA series, but the NHL2k series was pretty good with it's SIM engine. That's the one thing that kept people playing it. Like I said, not everyone has time to play a full NHL schedule game by game.

Regarding sim stats, I had been under the impression it was being looked at in production. But, it appears they didn't do much to fix it.

See this old post.

The statement "maybe next year EA will address this" is about 3 years over used.

Remember NHL 2004? Guys would lead the league with like 300 points if you played with 10-minute periods. It was nuts.

I'm happy with the game, though. Gameplay is the biggest issue for me and they've done a great job this year.

yeah-i am super pleased with the gameplay, but with the sim engine broken, season mode and gm mode is useless to me.

I will only play exhibition and playoff mode now.

Yeah, the game's not perfect, but it's still enjoyable. The Cpu roster managment and the sim engine leave plenty to be desired, but realism is overrated anyways . It was OK to be arcadish when we played Techmo Super Bowl, NHL 94, Baseball Simulator, or Double Dribble. All games that most of us grew up on and loved dearly. Why? Because the gameplay was fun.

My two favorite games of all time. Man, I need to buy a NES just so I can play those again.
