I think I know what might be going on with the icings, they're probably occurring at an increased rate while shorthanded but still not anywhere near the rate they should be at in that situation. I'll need to add an extra modifier to boost them further, that should be simple enough.

We've been working keeping the player positioning closer to the tactics, but it's still not quite where I want it to be. There was a system back in the prototype for the 2D engine that handled set plays, but it looked a little too rigid for hockey so it got replaced by more flexible mechanics. I may need to go back and take a look at re-incorporating some of that, but it'd need a pretty substantial amount of work and testing, so it's likely something for FHM9 and not an update.
