With all the NBC branding they seem to be pushing a "it's on TV!" vibe, so if that was the reason, I could understand it. But it's probably just something they took out. :P

The AI just not knowing where to be, or what to do in general, would be a monumental fix for the series.

I can't count the number of times I had the potential for an odd-man break, just to have my defender who was in center ice with me, going 2-on-1 stop at the blue line after we crossed it, leaving me to go solo on the defender. It was infuriating.

I agree. While the 3 starts thing is not something that I am concerned with, it is another symptom of of the main issue with this title. 2 steps forward, 3 steps back.

You might be right.. I'm just used to watching Blues games where they show the 3 stars coming back onto the ice.

Rammer stated that it was because of the broadcast feel. He talked about it when they patched the 3 stars back into the game in its current fashion. I believe he also stated that their data indicated that people just skipped over it.

I always skip it. But there are those moments you want to see that... Like the first time you make the 3 stars with your Be A Pro character in the NHL, or first time in EASHL.

But yeah, I don't really care about this stuff either, I'd rather see time invested in real gameplay features, or a better EASHL/DropIn matchmaking experience
