Shortened season patch?

What do you think the chances are EA releases a patch to edit the season schedule now and possibly cap changes? Should I hold my breath?

I know I have read a lot of comments (especially on canadian websites) that when a team wins it, it should come with an asterisk. But I'll bet a month's paycheck (or should I say paycheque) that if a Canadian team wins, all those calls for an asterisk will mysteriously disappear.

Back on topic, I too hope they release such a patch but I doubt it. But, since all the news sites say NHL teams will be doing promotions to say "sorry" to the fans, maybe EA will patch that in with goalie fatigue this year. Yeah, probably a pipedream unless they believe such work will increase buy rates. But I'll still keep an eye out all the same.

It'll go right with requests for a customizable/shorterned schedule for season mode/BAGM. Things like goalie fighting and glass breaking have been more important.

Re: Shortened season patch?

a) The Stanley Cup has been won by a lot of teams that didn't play a full 84 game NHL season. Do all those that pre-date the NHL need to get an * too?

b) I'll pass on that people want a shortened season to the dev team. I'm not sure if that's something they can easily do though, our system wasn't really designed for variable season lengths.

Can I ask why it's the case? Who in the war room decided that variable season lenghts wasn't something important?

Maybe it's because EA want to stick with what's going on in the game (82 game schedule)? Maybe it's a fact that throughout survey, customization of # of games wasn't a topic that pop out?

I just don't know and really curious because to be quite honest, there's always 2 things coming out from people playing the game around me : Saving games when you play online and season lenghts.

As for the A point, since there wasn't much 84 games season (2 in fact), then there would be a mostly asterix except Montreal in 93 and New York in 94. ;-)
