How will this game simulate hockey in the rink? Baseball is comprised of play by play, one at a time. The action momentarily stops, the results of the last play are evaluated, positions and strategy are adjusted, and the next play ensues. While the clock is running, hockey is flowing back and forth. How does a text simulation game reproduce this? Or will it at all?

Sorry, but I never looked into the soccer-type games offered by this developer or any other or perhaps I would know the answer to this.
EHM actually did a pretty good job of this, minus a few bugs and a poorly-flowing play by play text. It's a good starting point, though. This new game could do a lot worse than modelling its in-game presentation after Eastside.
