Something needs to be done about people who don't "hit A" to continue.

I understand wanting to see certain goals or penalties again as they happen.
My issue is after a period has ended, I immediately hit A to get to the scoreboard screen. Others sometimes wait and watch all the highlights through. Instead of the game allowing me to watch highlights, or get to the scoreboard early, it usually zooms to a wide view of the arena and simply tells me "waiting on user". That is the most frustrating thing ever.

Also you get the same view if you try to get back to the game after a period or someone took a timeout.

I also ran into an instance where I would have had to sit through all of the 3 stars until the scoreboard came up allowing me to exit out of the game. I simply turned my machine off at this point though.

Hitting A to continue should now just show the other user that you are ready to get back to the action. Once both users have selected this, then both go back to the game simultaneously.
One should never have to simply sit there with no options to do anything, waiting on the other the user.

EDIT: maybe even make it like timeouts are already. Each user get 5 or so highlights that they can watch a game. Both users will get a 3-5 second grace after a whistle, if they don't click A to proceed after that, then they use up one of their highlights. This would make it less frusturating, because many people don't seem to click A to proceed at any point during a game.
