It's pretty sad that an NHL game on Sega Genesis still has the best Fighting engine in a hockey game.

I know the NHL doesn't want to glorify fighting blah blah blah... but screw that... it's part of the game... and these Next Gen hockey games needs to step it up with the fighting portion of the game. They are a total waste of time right now. I mean can't EA snag a dev guy from the Fight Night team and come up with a solid fight engine that's got some gameplay to it?

The NHL is being turned into a wimps game now where you can't even touch anyone without a Penalty called. Let's get back to a NASTY game of hockey... and get down and dirty with some dropping the gloves and big time battles on the Ice!

It IS part of the game (the only sport besides boxing that doesn't penalize you big-time for duking it out with someone), and the fans love it. Of course they had better make fighting "better"! There should also be different chances of a fight (or more) occurring, based on which teams are playing (I mean, little guys playing in Buffalo and Ottawa uniforms will fight more often than, say, big guys in San Jose and Detriot uniforms, and it should be editable on NHLView, of course, as that changes).

Fighting will not change, we have been over this, and over this, no blood by order of the NHL

Who needs or is talking blood? How about a fight mode that's not button mashing like Ea's is... or a retard fest like 2K's is. How about some actual gameplay in the fight mode that takes some SKILL? I don't care about blood... I just want a fight engine that's not a waste of time. I'd even settle for EA putting in the simple fight mode from the Sega Genesis days. At least it was fun and had a little gameplay to it.

Pulling shirts over the head and throwing the pads and gloves off would be awesome!

Or how about your Ducks vs. the rest of the Western Conference, specifically the Wild?

Here's a novel concept that should be looked at for 09...what about line brawls? Somebody gets roughed up and his teammates take exception, going after the guy that laid the hit on him...then the other team comes to their teammate's aid and soon, you've got all ten skaters paired up with someone. You'd have the ability to take control of a player once he and his partner have broken off from the rest of the scrum and fight his opponent while the officials through the scrum. Of course, this should be a rarity but more likely in heated rivalry games, like Buffalo-Ottawa or Minnesota-Anaheim.

the NHL won't allow linebrawls

Okay, maybe not an all-out brawl or something similar to that. But at least they should have guys reacting to certain events in an appropriate manner...like for example, a guy gets laid out by a crushing, though clean check and is hurt. His teammates, based on their aggressiveness ratings and willingness to fight, should charge the guy that delivered the big hit and try to get in a few shots. The rest of the players on the ice should at least try and engage an opponent, either in pushing and shoving or in an effort to restrain him from joining the primary melee. If a star player is on the receiving end...let's say someone lays out Marian Gaborik, for example...then I would expect everyone on the ice in a Wild jersey to be going after the guy that delivered the hit, regardless of aggression ratings and/or willingness to fight.

If EA prides itself for having everything "in the game", then they should consider this. Guys get roughed up in hockey, and their teammates react by letting the guy know that they won't take too kindly to being pushed around. It's part of the game.

the NHL still won't allow that.

You can have more fighting using NHL07Tweak program. Enables unlimited fights. Use NHLview to make everyone be able to fight and giver!

Also you should be able to set which player on the ice fights, rather than having one random picked when 4 players on the ice fight.
