Plus there have been all sorts of quirks and glitches that most of us do see all the time. I know games are never perfect at release, but NHL13 had a lot of rough edges that personally shouldn't have been there.

Well, I give them credit for changing enough that the game comes off as unpolished in some areas sometimes. That means they are trying to do, in a way, too much at one time. I CERTAINLY give them credit for trying to continue to evolve in the genre even though they have no competitor out there right now. I like the new skating engine - funny how it copies with the NHL 2K skating engine that some people hated, but I digress. I like it and I'm glad they went that direction. I'm sure there are enough situation where this bug would hurt the gameplay directly, but I've yet to see it. Again, if they don't FIX it, then there's a problem.
