Are the awards fixed? Particularly for best defensemen and best defensive forwards? In previous versions I'd find a defenseman who would be MVP....then another defenseman who wins to the defensemen of the year award. I'm sorry, but that ain't happening in real life. If a defensemen is going to win the Hart as MVP...he's going to be the Norris Trophy winner, too. That always irked me in the previous versions.

Also, it seemed the game would lean heavily on highly offensive players winning the best defensive forward award, too. Granted there's been some guys who who have won the Selke during a very good offensive year (Gilmour, Federov in the 90's)...but it's rather an abnormal thing to happen. And it seemed in my sims into the future players who were winning the Selke were i the top 3 in scoring. Again, possible...but highly abnormal.

Also, regarding playoff MVP...is there gonna be a little more realism with that, as well? I hardly remember any goalie winning the Conn Smythe during my sims into the future...and WAY too many losing teams having the Conn Smythe winner.
