I do understand that people want to be able to have some sort of control over the simmed game because they don't have the time to play a full game. I just know that when I sim a game, it's for the purpose of moving through my season faster and I do it through the calendar instead of going to each individual game and using the simulator that is built in now. As I've said before I don't think most of us play this game as a simulator like Eastside Hockey Manager. This is ultimately a video game, where using the controller to skate, shoot, pass, and score occurs. That's just what's kind of ticking me off right now. I just don't believe so much time needed to be spent on this Game Track simulator when it could have been spent on so many more important parts to the mode. The simming needed reworking, but it did not need to go into this whole different game tracker system. This is the type of thing that needs to be added when the game mode is nearly perfected. I will say this addition will be great for people who sim most of their games, so they should be pretty happy.

The sim engine couldn't have been re-done without the Action Tracker, so maybe there could have been custom season lengths, but we'd still be stuck with the same broke *** sim engine from years past. I don't think anyone who plays Be A GM would want that.

Also to your last point, this doesn't just cover simming user games, it covers the entire landscape of your GM mode and the results that are churned out when it comes to player stats and team records. Even if you played all 82 of your games, this still covers your GM mode too because it's simulating what's going on with the CPU teams.

I'd much rather have this to be honest. Not to downplay the people who want custom season lengths, and it would have been nice to have both of these things, but IMO this was a more important thing to do this year.
