The fact you can only choose from 3 offensive strategies and they've had the same ones for the last 10 years is laughable. And why in the hell can't you make custom PP and PK strategies in terms of the off and def aggressiveness?

I quickly skimmed that article but I didn't see that being listed as one of their fixes. As long as I can only choose from crash the net, behind the net and overload I won't be buying another NHL game.
I found that it wasn't so much the plays that lacked it was that the AI was so bad that if you didn't go to a specific spot with the puck the AI would just stand there and watch you. I'm hoping with the improvements to the AI that they'll actually read a play and go to open spots. And actually make the offense more dynamic.
