Gameplay is subjective. That stuff isn't, it's just broken.

first off, i did read your post. my statement about skates was pretty obvious hyperbole; or so i thought.
bottom line is that i think they have a lot of work that could be done on gameplay. they claimed to have spent so much time on AI this year, but in my time on the demo it was more of the same. you would prefer they work on 'structural' issues but those are always going to exist as well. the reason i think gameplay trumps everything is that even if all the modes work flawless, the game still has to rely on the gameplay. most people that are into the game will spend hours upon hours playing the actual games, but only have to do things like edit lines and use the HUT auction screen once in a while. again, thats just my opinion, but to mock someone for wanting the gameplay to be better is very juvenile.
