A few minor things

It’s been a few years since picking up the game. I’m excited with everything added on this year.

A few issues

Play by play in 2d is really messy and hard to follow.

Also during 2d the players don’t switch sides between periods? Why?

Plus despite the home or away team scoring the crowd was booing.

It would be really cool to put something in the top bar that shows the salary cap at all times. It’s an important thing in hockey especially when considering trades so you don’t have to jump around to make sure you r clearly under the cap.

Happy Launch day guys.

Yeah, we need to make some changes to the sound files, the goal reactions are supposed to be split by cheers/boos for home/away.

We're probably going to make some large changes to play-by-play. The main problem is, most of the old play-by-play text wouldn't make sense, since it goes into a lot of detail about what's going on, and wouldn't describe the play correctly most of the time. So right now, we just use a limited set of it that doesn't have that problem. I think we may go to something simpler that shows a comment for many more plays, but not with such detailed descriptions.

We'll probably add the end switching at some point, but it creates some AI issues, mainly with the positioning of the bench, that we need to work out.
