THANKS! This is what I've been waiting for since the beginning of the season! Amazing work, it really looks well done. I have a few constructive comments that might help the game even further in future revisions. Again, these are all my (humble) opinions:
- Player ratings of superstars are noticeably a bit low. Sid Crosby = 91 (should be around a 99 as should other elites like Sedin, Sedin, Ovechkin, Malkin, Thornton)
Some other players could use some rating adjustments. These ones especially stuck out to me:
- Corey Crawford = 39 (should be much higher, considering backup Turco is a 49)
- Ryan Miller = 97 (should be lower, considering Luongo was only a 76 and Tim Thomas a 74)
- Martin St. Louis = 78 (should be much higher, minimally in mid-80s range)
- Logan Coutoure = 49 (should be much higher)
- Jonas Hiller = 50 (should be much higher)
- J.S. Giguerre = Absent?
Not sure if all of these can even be done but they are suggestions if they are even possible:
- I agree Johnathan Tavares could be replaced on the cover. IMO he is good but still not as established as some others out there.
- Player cards with actual pictures would be sweet - I saw this done in an update from someone else.
- Some arena songs are specific to the arena. Blues should have when the saints go marching in. Montreal has its own song. Chicago has its own ('here come the hawks the mighty blackhawks'). Carolina should have Hartford's Brass Bonanza (
). Perhaps even some more newer themes currently used can be adapted into midis and included in the future (e.g., Chicago plays this after every home goal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzHqNVgMkCg ) - 4-on-4 for regular season OT.
- Go directly into shootout after regular season OT tie.
The new release is sweet, thanks and hope future revisions will be up to the same standard of excellence!
