Santa I wish that....

[belac]

Born and raised in Montreal Canada I grew up on the ice since I was 3 yrs old, so with that in mind Ive been also playing these dam video hockey games since I was about 5 with intellivision.. So here is my wish list.
Seems espn basketball and football is realistic to a T so why not the hockey? This is a list of what Id love to see in 2k5 so here is my 10 wish list Santa.

1. Not one hockey game ive seen has 4 officials in it. 2 Reffs, 2 linesman.
2. Ice needs to be cleaned after each friggin period, national anthem before the game would be a plus P.
3. Penalities=Hockey...need more of them (game mis, etc) guys thrown out etc.
4. Give us some time to freely move around after the whistle has blown to throw a few (after the play) elbows/checks and what not.
5. Better animations for fighting. Espn 2k4 fights suck bad. Better yet allow us to have more than one fight occur at once.
6. Give us a sense were in the game by showing scores from other games, or even highlights from other games.
7. Net off posts when you hit it hard enough.
8. Finally ESPN 2k5 would ROCK if you could have a BENCH CLEARING BRAWL once in a blue moon. Ive NEVER heard of this in any hockey game. ) BTW allow us to control a player during the brawl PLZ.

This is my final request for 2k5 and im sure ALL will agree.

9. Hot french women in the stands.)-
10. Ice cold beers after the game with a few hotties in the dressing rooms doing unmentionables to the 3 stars of the game. )-

A construstive criticism to your wishes...

1. 3 extra officials would be way too distracting and if you allow the officials to have contact with the puck it's going to create 4 pilons on the ice to try to get around and not just 1.

2. I feel cleaning the ice and the anthem to be a short lived novelty. It's neat when you see it the first few times, but then you beat the heck out of your x button trying to skip past these. However, they would provide you time to grab a beer without pausing.

3. I guess you mean more variety of penalties. Yeah, I'd like to see a guy kicked out for a really nasty hit.

4. NHL 2000 for the CPU had a brief amount of time to lay a few cheap shots. What was cool about this was that you would receive penalties after the play for these cheap shots.

5. I don't think anything more can be typed on this message board about the poor fights.

6. I like the idea of out of town score tickers. Highlights probably would end up being the same 5 action shots over and over, just like the commentating.

7. The nets actually do come ajar at times. I have it happen frequently. Not too frequently, nor never at all: this they got right on.

8. NES's Ice Hockey, the international game with fat, medium, and Gretzky like players, had a computer brawl occur. It was really silly, but hillarious. But the truth is that brawls just don't happen any more. Big suspensions for jumping the bench. Oh how I long for the mid-80's when the Nordiques and Habs brawled on a nightly basis.

9. and 10. Knowing a little of Montreal, I'm sure you can live this one out yourself if you have enough cash.

Thanks
