Hmmm...real time? I don't like the sound of that. Does this mean your players ice time doesn't match that of the league?

Not knocking you but this is a major problem with the game. IRL hockey has 20 minute periods. Shot totals should be close to realistic when you are playing 20 min periods. I don't get how 40-60 shots in a game with 20 minute periods is "In the game?"

I think its the way people play. What you dont see in gameplay is a defenseman going back behind his net, waiting for the line to change. A dman will wait a full 4-5 secs before coming out to outlet the pass up the ice. In the videogame, you will get a rogue skater spamming you for the puck, when in fact he should be getting off the ice. In the game you have goalies spitting the puck out in situations where its completely inadvisable. The goalie needs to ice the puck, and get the face-off. Not keep the play alive, which usually results in a offensive breakout. You see teams in real life cycle the puck and take shots that dont hit the net.

20 minutes of course. 60 minute games (plus overtime if applicable) is the only way I will play as anything less is not real hockey.

My friend whom I played hotseat commented about that as well. EA finally did right by the clock making 20 minutes actually be 20 minutes. Hooray for real (finally after all these years of fake) 60 minute games...
