I think that the hitting needs to be realistic. Not like you hit a guy and they fly 6 feet back. If you check a guy they should just fall and maybie slide on the ice a little. Whares the zambonie. The ice needs to be shined up every game instead of always choppy.
Goalies falling make it easy to score get rid of the goalies falling.
YOu can't catch an edge of a goaile or a post it just keeps going like it did not hit anything. You need to catch more edges. Like if you just nick a goalies shoulder it shoudl fly up spinning slowly and in the net or on top of it. Too easy to score. Checking sounds like gun shots and so do shots.
