    the latter really takes away from the realism

    what happens when I leave my team? Who takes my place? What about my assistants, can they become head coaches? If so, will they take my "strategies" (aka settings) with them and coach the way I "taught" them to?

    I want it to feel like the other coaches exist in this world as much as I do... CH2k8 did this better than anyone else... it felt like the other coaches mattered as much as I did... like I was playing in this other living, breathing world, and I was just one of many people in it... my dream job may be Uconn, but if Calhoun never leaves, i'm not gonna get the job, plain and simple... likewise when you do change schools, recruits sometimes come with you (or if an assistant whos been recruiting for you gets a HC job, he may lure recruits away)... in this case maybe former players that become FA's want to play for you, etc

    I don't want to just get offered any random job with no reason behind it... if the NYR job opens up, I want to know why... I want to know what happened, and I want there to be repurcussions... (aka what's going to happen to the former NYR coach now that he's gone, what the players are going to do, etc)

    if we dont have any of that... if we are in a vacuum where only what we do matters and theres no rhyme or reason behind job openings, etc, i'm going to be very disappointed

      why, College Hoops 2k8 did it... that was 2 years ago

      if one video game can do it, why can't another?

There are way too few shutouts, and too many players recording 100+ points. Seriously 12 players in one season with over 100 points? That is un freaking heard of. Need to fix.
        While you certainly have a point that it hasn't happened recently and thus should probably not happen in the game, it is certainly not unheard of.

        Year nb. of player above 100pts
        95-96 ------- 12
        92-93 ------- 21 (this is not a typo it is 21)
        89-90 ------- 13
        87-88 ------- 12

        It is certainly rare and it hasn't happened in quite a while but I just felt compelled to correct you on the "unheard of" comment. If you are a fairly new fan of the sport you might find it interesting to look at old scoring stats. You would see numbers that would make you scream if the game produced them. Of course the video game should match today's NHL though.

          I really want to be able to have a multiplayer "Be a GM" or dynasty mode. For me it's not as much fun playing through a full dynasty with only the cpu. I like to have my brother or friend control another team, it makes for a more fun and challenging experience. 2k has had this every year, however the gameplay blows. I can't understand why EA has so much trouble putting this into their games.

            I want this also and want it online too since my brother has moved and lives farther away now. I'm not sure why the don't do multiplayer. Maybe in their warped greedy little minds they think they can sell more copies of the game this way.


            Sorry about your dad, smoking took my dad from us also.

              Sounds good, but I wonder if you can use a created team in GM Mode. I like to take the Nashville Predators and move them to my hometown of Houston, TX.

                      I totally agree.

                      This year is setting a new mark.

                        Hear are just a few new things that I think that the NHL10 producers should concider.

                        -->Option to send players back to junior-->because of crowding on your ahl affiliate and then have to start not signing players. (This a must have in your game)

                        -->Home Crowd boo's when there guy looses-->when the home player looses the fight the crowd boo's. This isn't right, the crowd should go nuts because there guy just fought another player. He fought one for the team. Unless the fight is a total embarassement then the crowd might boo. (this is a must have in your game)

                        --> Penalties--> When a player is tripped, there is only one "action" that he does. When he is hooked, there is only one action that he does.ETC, you get my point. (Not that big of a deal, but i'm throwing it out there)

                        --> Faceoffs--> Faceoffs need to be better. Its as if the puck just floats to whoever wins the draw. There should be a battle at the draw and it should look more realistic. (not that big of a deal, but i'm throwing it out there)

                        --> Play after the whistle-->I'm not totally sure on this but from what i've seen in your videos the "pushing after the whistle" is bodychecking. Players don't go around after the whistle and bodycheck eachother, that just would look goofy. (not a big deal, throwing it out there)

                        --> Player Appearances--> Some players just look nothing like they do in real life. Have you seen ummmm..... Erik Johnson? He has a mean looking face and has long black hair. And Mark Staal, same thing. This is the case with too many players. (a bit of a big deal)

                        --> Create a player--> THere should be more faces to choose from in create a player. (a bit of a big deal)

                        --> Dumb offsides--> sometimes i am at the blue line with my defenseman trying to get open for a shot and then my player does this wierd swivle and then i go offside. I wish the players would try there best on not putting the puck offside. (This is a must have in your game)

                        --> Better clean hits along the boards--> When ever there is a hit where the player interact with the boards it is always a hit from behind or a big hit were the player is obliterated. There should be some hits like the ones you see in the nhl where the guy goes hard in on the forecheck and delivers a solid body on body, bodycheck where you can see the glass wobble from the force of the hit. (this is not a big deeal but i'm throwing it out there)

                        Dumb cpu powerplay-->When you are on the penalty kill and you are setting it up in the offenseive zone to kill time, the guys on the powerplay don't seem to want the puck back, they turn stupid and all crowd up in the middle of the ice doing nothing. (this is a must have in your game)

                        Well, anyway your game is great and i love all the new stuff you have to offer. There is just one thing that i want to know,.......The battle for the cup mode thing,....did you get that idea from my first blog about when you have a friend over and you just want to play for the cup and not just an ordinary play now? You mentioned alot of stuff that I wrote down in my blog and just to let you know, .... that is like exactly what i wanted and i think it will be great and everyone will love it.

                          Just adding onto the "clean hits along the boards topic" in my last blog (probably above). The big lucic hit on van ryn was a huge hit and van ryn didn't fall down or go flying. You can have a huge hit with out the guy going flying or falling down. THat is a perfect example of what i meant on that subject.

                            WOW, that sounds exciting and more than enough to keep me interested long term.
