Do we play hockey or indoor soccer?

Badge image
The hockey simulator is every day looking more and more like minifotbal.
I don't know what the Crew is doing, but this is not hockey.
We see Goalies starting to play more like football Keepers.
A goalie's equipment weighs 50 kg. And still, in MZ he can easily assist goals. Their pass accuracy is better than all of the Defenders.
I'm looking forward to seeing Goalies score goals in MZ. I mean, why have 20 players when you can just score with your goalie? I don't know why I haven't thought about it until now.
Let's talk about Defenders. They can't do a decent bodycheck. Not once in an entire game. I don't know why they are on the ice in the first place. They look like Defensive Midfielders or something from minisocccer or handball, but not hockey.

My players are on share. So, if you think I don't know what I'm talking about, think again.

This is not hockey. I joined MZ because I like ice hockey. I'm a big Red Wings fan. So I understand the game. This season MZ hockey feels like a complete waste of time.
We see to many random results.
Teams of 16-18 mil value are constantly defeated by teams of 8-9 mil value. If somebody thinks it happens. Guess again. Because in hockey it NEVER happens.
It's like saying a team playing in the NHL can be defeated by a third world country team. Which is impossible.

I hope the Crew reads this and takes immediate action because this is not hockey. It looks like a broken version of indoor soccer. And frankly the committed managers of hockey had enough.

Thank you.
Let's talk about RL hockey.

How many times a forward gives the puck back to a defender when he's 1-on-1 with the goalie? NEVER. How many times do we see it in MZ? Every game.

How many times two forwards bump into each other in front of the goalie in RL? 1 IN A BILLION? How many times do we see it in MZ? Every game.

How many times a forward bumps into the goalie when rushing the goal? 1 IN A MILLION? And BTW... it's a severe penalty. It could be game misconduct. How many times do we see it in MZ? Every game.

How many times 2-3 team-mates bump into each other and lose the puck to an opposite player? NEVER. How many times do we see it in MZ? Every game.

How many times a player misses a 1-2 meters pass? 1 IN A MILLION? How many times do we see it in MZ? Every game.

You want me to continue?
I think enough is enough.

The sim was much better in 2009 when I joined MZ. Strong teams were almost impossible to beat, even with Away boost. Why? Because they were simply better. You can't defeat a much better team in RL hockey, basketball, rugby etc. Why? Because that's just the way it is and just the way it should be.

All these competitional boosts offered to the weaker teams simply harm MZ and offend good managers. It's giving free points to encourage newbies with the cost of annoying everybody, because we are loyal to the game and we can take it.

I'm done taking it. I simply can't stand losing to a 8-10 mil team anymore. They want to defeat strong managers? This is ManagerZone. Be better managers, not receive charity.

I've been waiting for more than 13 years to see
6 Man Power Play
4 Man Power Play
3 Man Pebalty Kill
Reserve Goalie

Where are they?

Actually it's only 4 Man Penalty Kill.
When playing 4 vs. 4 or 4 vs. 3, it's still 4 Man Penalty Kill. They still throw the puck away.

And when you have 2 penalties and you are forcepsul to play 3 Man PK, you can't actually choose them. You have absolutely no control. You don't know who's going to enter the skatering.

Indeed, this is not hockey., just random and shitty results. I posted hundreds of stupid matches on the other topic. 🤢

Now, just take a look at this, for example:
https://imgur.com/m67zJR5

The match was played just yesterday. Follow the green players, no 4 and 8. No more and no less than seven crazy sick idiot consecutive passes between those 2 players with 75+ pucks and at least 7 intelligence and passing!

This is the clear proof that we don't play hochey! 🤢

Link to the match:
https://www.managerzone.com/?p=match&sub=result&mid=197867454&tid=2703
It happened at min 18 and 40 sec. The lines entered on the ice at min 6 and 20 sec. Yes, the players were very tired, SIM got very tired and stopped generating the right movements for the players. 🤢🤢🤢

Unfortunately we can't do nothing. It's the same in football, I don't want to complain because I ''love'' this game, play since 2009, but losing to teams that are x3 weakers with a manager who logs in once a week is not fair. Sick of people saying ''it happens in real sport too''.

Look at this game in the league when I lost, and then the same teams against each other in the Cup... Irish league is tough because it's only few teams fighting for title, few active.. if you get simmed like that it's hard to get the leaders spot back because no body is losing points so 1 game like this can destroy my season. The 2nd match is the score what is supposed to be, but no, sim decided to get the win away from me in the league just for the fun...



I'm a loyal manager to this game, but I don't blame people leaving the game, not everyone is like me that have patience, some people leaving MZ because they have enough of it...

Exactly.

We have to stop comparing football with hockey.
They are two different sports.
While in football a weaker team can defeat a much stronger team, in hockey it can't happen.
The stronger team will always win. Only if they are at the same level, they both have chances.
I'd est in NHL the last seated can win against the best seated, like one out of 5-6 matches. But they are all considered NHL teams. The best 32 teams in the world.
But playing against any other team in the world, they will for sure win.
Teams from Sweden, Germany, Russia don't stand a chance against NHL teams.

In MZ you can say that +15 mil teams are the best in the world.
You can see them here
https://xentemanagerzone.sytes.net/MZ1/View/filtroEquiposHockey.php
There are only 13 teams with the value of 15 mil in the entire world
These 13 teams should be impossible to beat by 9-10 mil teams.
And there are another 18 teams with the value of 14 mil.
These 18 teams are also strong teams. Very hard to beat.
A 8-9 mil team shouldn't stand a chance against them.

It' s not like comparing two football teams with the values of 14 mil and 12 mil.
We're talikg about teams with double value.

Let me give you another example.
Let's take this match from the Romanian Superleague
https://www.managerzone.com/?p=match&sub=result&mid=195702627
My team is in the top 20 most valuable teams in the world with almost 14 mil
The opponent's team is ranked 773rd with 9.2 mil.
How did that happened?
There is no logical explanation for this result.
It's "just" a sim error. We are sick and tired of these sim errors.
