Yep, I'd really like to see this.

Something to make having a decent backup worth having. I do use "house rules" so my backup gets some playing time. But yeah...realistic fatigue being added would be great.

I'm sure you're prolly not allowed to answer on that topic yet TNA, but hopefully this is something info wise, they were able to address for both gameplay and simmed stats.

Totally understand, I've noticed that playing 11 and it's predecessors as well. I definitely was happy with how the sim engine and how it respected the attributes/ratings of players so the stats/results seemed much more on par with the real on ice stats you see each year in the NHL.

I know the guys on the EA NHL dev team did briefly discussed reworking logic in terms of goalies and how much the backups play. I can't recite word for word, but I did notice teams using backups a bit more frequently when testing out Be A GM when I glanced over the goalie stats portion.

In terms of late season goalie in game play of Be A GM and any noticeable effects I can't recall anything specifically standing out to me as fatigued goalies (could be due to the fact of the new logic/system behind it), but as well we were working with limited time.

Say if I choose to a play a current team, do I get all of my actual draft picks from the 2011 draft(ie. RNH to EDM, Lando to Col, etc..)? assuming I choose to start at the beginning of the regular season and not the draft.

Can you watch replays in Be A Pro when you sim to next shift and somebody scores and you want see it. So can you watch the replay?
