There is no point to the gameplay if the basic structure doesn't work. This is like complaining that you don't like the decor in a house whose roof is in the process of caving in. Right now I can't even PLAY HUT because of the issues with it. Tournaments don't work, and Pucks, which are the basic point of playing HUT games, don't work either. My GM Connected league (the CP one) isn't busted yet, but I have heard horror stories and I'd rather not have my league ruined because that's the game mode I was most interested in when I bought this thing.

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.

I wasn't mocking. I'm saying that wanting the gameplay to be "better" is a subjective judgment. Everyone will have things they like about the gameplay and things they don't, and those lists will very rarely match up across different players.
Complaints about gameplay are, by and large, whining that you want the devs to cater to your personal preferences about how a hockey game should feel, and insisting that they spend time making tuners to accomplish that goal at the expense of others' preferences while ignoring issues that make the game
non-functional at a basic level is ridiculous.
There are only so many people able to work on this at once, and they have to prioritize. They should not be prioritizing some guy's annoyance that the other team's forecheckers are able to pin his D-man to the boards too easily. They should be prioritizing making the game playable before they start worrying about tweaking that stuff.
