Should be interesting.

P.S. when did Canada become part of the USA.? They have the NHL listed under the United States.  |
The Hockey game creation is done by totally different people than the TBCB people (or person). Therefore there is no conflict.
They had/have an open Beta for the hockey and the game is due to be released September 3rd, but as far as I can tell, the game is about 6 months to a year away from being ready for prime time. Of course, when I mentioned how bad it was I got slammed because it's a "beta" but I don't think anyone over there truly understands what beta means.
Naturally I wish them all the best because I'd love a good hockey sim that will be along the lines of creating a "what-if" world but I have major doubts as to what will be delivered September 3rd. (Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.) If it comes out reasonably playable then they have pulled a rabbit out of a hat.
I was wondering too why the NHL was listed under the U.S. and in the game it's a U.S. league. I remember when Tommy Williams of the Bruins was the only American in the whole league and even with 2/3 of the teams based in the U.S., over 99% of the players were Canadians. Maybe Gordie Howe wasn't really born in Floral, Sask., but in Lansing, Michigan.
