People are going to call me an old man or whatever, fine. I don't really think 3 on 3 is that exciting. You are just removing obstacles to give players more room to manoeuvre to create a goal, making it way easier on them. Its like playing NHL Arcade (or whatever that video game was). Beating 3 guys to score is going to look flashy but its not as impressive as beating 5 guys to score. I will always prefer the details and depth of how plays develop and not just the flashy finish. To me these scenarios are losing sight of the cake and just focus on the icing on top.

Also agreed, the loser point is terrible. Teams need to fear the fact that they might come away from a game with nothing.
