Prompt 2

Hockey is probably one of the hardest major sports out there to simulate properly. Being a hyper-dynamic and fast sport, it makes it very difficult to track in a statistic environment, and the legitimacy of various statistics is often brought into question. Even with the rules of the game being average in simplicity/difficult (in my opinion) to other major sports, it is played in quite a complex manner.

All of that is to say that my acceptable range when it comes to what makes a sim accurate is very wide. People called STHS random, and yet it had less underdog victories in the playoffs than the NHL, and the IIHF, which can be especially random given its short run time and single elimination format, experienced five golds in a row for Ireland, a feat of consistency comparable with how many describe FHM.

I'm sick of hearing people describing an odd happening as "FHM being FHM", when it's more accurately just hockey being hockey. I suppose we'll always have sim haters, but overall the only thing I dislike between STHS and FHM is exploits and we have dealt with those pretty well thus far in my opinion.

Finally, I'd love to see anything added to streams to make them more entertaining, as the novelty has worn off and I now find them less engaging than PbPs (I'm dropping ALL the unpopular opinions now lmao), such as the 2D sim engine, but I suppose that'd require one of the newer FHMs.
