I think your exactly right Money.

Hence the back and forth nature of the game. Where nearly each rush up ice, produces a great scoring chance. Off-line anyway.

I wish the hardcore setting would be the place to go in the NHL game, to get the type of gameplay a lot of us would like to see. Where really great scoring chances where tough to get, and that alone was rewarding. Let alone the excitement of burying one.

I do believe the game does a solid job with this balancing act is has to do. And I really enjoy it. But yeah...it would be great if there somehow was a setting of some type, to deliver an ultra realistic game style.
