I'm a long-time OOTP player, just bought FHM5 and set up a small (2x6 team divisions/no minors but reserve players) fictional to get a feel for the game. I understand that the majority of folk don't play out or watch games but I do, and the match screen seems sadly lacking. For instance-1) the rink image disappears after any goal is scored and reappears randomly, 2)on "many highlights" setting the rink appears bottom centre of the screen and obscures completely one of the goalies.3) The visiting team is on the left of the scoreboard and plays from left to right but the goalies are the other way round so that the visitor is on the right. 4) There seems to be wasted space on the screen, couldn't both teams' current lines be shown side-by-side showing matchups etc. It seems to me that some improvements here would help the immersion factor, particularly when getting to know players/teams in your league.
I've been a big supporter of Markus and OOTP since 2005 so these comments are meant constructively!!
