I'd like a hockey game that took the classic motif one step further, and brought back the hooking and holding, cheapshots, line brawls, guys going into the stands to deal with hecklers, no helmets, etc. I want to be Pat Quinn and knock Bobby Orr unconscious. I want to waterski behind a guy all the way to the net, and then slewfoot him to prevent the goal. If he does get away from me, I want him to potentially suffer grievous injury when he runs into the unmoving posts.
I want my player to be a bit hard to control cause he got his bell rung, or because he's playing with a broken ankle. "Elbow" should be a button on the controller for this version of hockey. A Gordie Howe hat trick should automatically give my player and my team a boost for the next five minutes.
Basically, a game that celebrates the rough and tumble heritage of the sport. Maybe I'm looking for WHA 2012, I don't know.
