And what you say there is true, but that would be too much for most any game to simulate, but i agree 100%. It will be interesting how they come up with fight wins and what it means within gameplay itself. And hopfully their will be no random goofyness in the other games where a John Kordic fights Steve Kasper, and they just get their 5 minute penalties so it looks nice in the statistics at the end to say, oh look there a fight in my game, its so realistic. In such a case Kasper is missing a few games with a busted up face, or more likely Jay Miller or Lyndon Byers has arrived 1 second later. So again will be interesting how it all plays out from the standpoint of game play.

i really think that's exactly how it will be done. Lets face it, at the other end just because your player wins a fight should your team get a boost? That's not right either. Perhaps it wakes certain types of players up on your team but certainly not the entire team. It's impossible to portray accurately because each person responds differently to different actions. There is no denying though that it revs up the fans at the game! That in iteself can give some guys motivation.
