Anyone Else Notice This?

I am using the Edmonton Oilers in season mode and I had a player that was injured with a broken nose. I decided to keep him active. The next game, he was wearing a face mask that hung off the bottom (similar to a football facemask) to better protect his face...That is crazy...

I had Ryan Callahan get a fractured jaw in my last game.
Says it's a playable injury but his skills are knocked down a bit. I was going to sit him out for a game or 2 but I might just put him in to see what kind of jaw protection he wears.

I love the little details like this that they throw in. I play with the Wild and Mikko Koivu took a high stick to the face in the game (by his brother Saku, with the Ducks, of all people). He was one of the three stars and I noticed he had a little bruise on his cheek from it. It would have been even cooler if the announcers had mentioned that one brother high-sticked the other in the commentary.

Yeah, I've had this happen. I was playing Pit and beating them 5-1. I leveled Crosby with Dustin Brown and he was slightly injured so when he came back into the game, he skated right over to Brown and high-sticked him in the face and got a 5min pen and a game misconduct and Brown got a broken jaw and a snazzy face shield.. it was awesome.

That's ****ing awesome! I've seen the bruises, cuts, jaw protectors (all of which were cool don't get me wrong) but something like a player seeking revenge, ableit dirty, adds so much to a game.

I agree. I just happened to catch the face shield by accident. I knew my guy was injured with a broken nose and I went to instant replay to see if he had any noticeable face damage. That's when I saw the facial protection....

I agree. It's unannounced little details that I love because it is: A) a surprise to see and B) adds to the immersion....
