'Authentic NHL experience' is just clearly not at the top of the marketing checkpoints they wanted to hit in the last game. |
I'm a programmer - it wouldn't be easy to get that in a patch form, it would require a lot of change.
Divisions would also be hard to get in, and generating a schedule with the mismatched teams, and then the playoff format would require a lot of change to.
What seems simple in changing a lot of the time isn't, both of these 2 things would actually take a lot of time to get in place, definitely with a patch (for examples divisions - you'd have to somehow have both systems in place to maintain current existing be a gm modes, online leagues, etc)
It's not 'it should be easy to get in patch form' - it really isn't
