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.

I agree. But all the other main sports games at least come close to playing like IRL. If the only way one gets realistic stats is by playing 6 minute periods then the AI is broken.

How many shots/game each for you and CPU? I would love to play 20 minute periods. Just don't like the crazy stats.
