So if an extra year is needed, why not another patch now?

There are some obvious fixes still needed and if this is the 2K version to play over the next year as well, why not spend a little time putting in necesssary fixes that I'm sure they know very well as they are intimate with 2khockeynet faithful?

If anything, wouldn't that be a good PR thing (something desperately needed)?

Pushing through the PS3 patch and continuing roster support would go a long way to restoring that they care at all about the customer base. That being said though, I won't hold my breath on either of those things happening. The writing has kinda been on the wall the last couple years and their mistakes are now catching up to them to be honest.

Good call DFB. It would go a long way to putting some good vibes back to the community...especially the PS3 patch.

I don't really know about programming, but obviously multiple patches for titles are released constantly. Repair about 3 or 4 things truly needed (including the thing(s) they broke with the first patch, like guys getting stuck in the ice) and incorporate that into a PS3 patch as well.

People can be very forgiving, 2K...... but not forever.

I like the idea, but are some of the fixes able to be fixed by a patch? I would like the goalies to react better and some other things with the skating.

Well, how the hell would we know that? We didn't program the game. Bottom line is that they should fix about 3-4 glaring problems. Goalies reacting better and skating would be things they would say are modified by the sliders. But there are a few very, very obvious things they need to address.

lol OK. I guess I am saying what are some of the problems with the game? What would you like fixed? For me the skating and goalies could be a little better, but I will admit with 06 sliders the skating was much better and some what so were the goalies.

Keeping the game patched over the next year would help bridge the gap between releases by keeping the community interested (in theory). Patching for the sake of patching isn't necessary, but I am sure there are still several things left to be addressed with the current game despite how much I am enjoying it.
