Too many powerplays in NHL and OT issue

[rohm24]

Playing in the NHL, ALL the 30 teams are getting 300+ powerplays per season, the top 5 got 400+ PP, while in real life no team gets even 300 PP since 2/3 seasons ago.

Also, some issues people have noticed about the overtime:

-Too many Overtime games end in Shootout

-Not enough shots during Overtime.

Any word about this? Teams are taking too many penalties which leads to all those powerplays, it would be great if this gets fixed.

The 3 on 3 overtime was instituted so late that the game doesn't have a proper tactic available for that part of the game. The AI coach simply plays as if he was 5 on 5 or 4 on 4 in regular time and that means dump and change, dump and chase and other stupid things. This leads to loads of turnovers and few goals. What is needed is a complete revamp on the tactics part here and that could be very complicated to get right for the programmers. I'd expect a fix to take some time, maybe not until next version of the game.

Did this get fixed? The number of penalties/powerplays is so unrealistic.

I recently had a playoff game go 4 OT's before winning.
