Fix EA Sports' NHL Series

Gameplay bug: Poke checking the puck during a delayed penalty does not draw a whistle - allowing for a cheap goal. While in the real NHL a poke check will not always draw a whistle, something needs to be done to disallow goals scored in this manner.

Interface Oversight: Captain should be able to change team strategies during pause even if the other team pauses it. There doesn't seem to be a valid reason why he cannot.

AI bug: Often a CPU player will not pursue a loose puck even when he is the closest player to it - he just stands there holding his position.

Gameplay bug: When the puck is loose in front of a goalie (especially human) right on/next to his pads, 2 problems arise: 1) goalie is unable to see/cover the puck. 2) Opponents stick can "magnet" the puck right through the goalie's pad for a goal if he positions his stick behind the pad

Interface Oversight: Lots of text is hard to read on the backgrounds given due to team colors, logos, etc (i.e. white on yellow)

Gameplay bug (?): Frequency of CPU penalties seems drastically higher when on the powerplay (i.e. "equalizer" penalties) -- could be confirmation bias, but it seems this is the case.

Interface Oversight / Bug: "Check" being mapped to call for shot, if it's going to remain that way, needs to have zone-based logic - nobody is ever calling for a shot from their defensive zone -- not unless the CPU is in the offensive zone, etc...

Interface Oversight / Bug: No matter who pauses the game, at least a team's captain (even of the team that didn't pause) should have access to the "Team Management" menu and other features

Gameplay bug: While interference etc is fixed, it's still impossible to take a second penalty during a delayed call - interference is completely permitted.

Goalie AI bug: Slow moving pucks (often dump-ins) toward goalie are not covered, even if the opposing team is closing in. This often leaves a soft rebound that can easily be tapped in by an opponent.

Interface Oversight / Bug: Nobody is clear on how to choose different faceoff formations - not even a developer can explain how they're picked. Are they random, or can they be chosen?

Gameplay bug: Too many impossible shots occur -- one-handed receptions of the puck on the backhand, for example, that are tapped in. Also shots that require the stick to go straight through the player's body.

Gameplay bug: Protect the puck button allows passing straight through players who are laying down on the ice.

Feature: Deking is too perfectly effective - no NHL player can deke back and forth a dozen times in a row on the rush without losing the puck.

Feature: Add the ability to disable the one-handed deke -- some players have difficulty with this, losing the puck when attempting a slapshot because it goes to one-hand-deke.

Oversight / Bug: Matchup system in '09 doesn't seem to be based on team records / divisions. My team has a ton of games played, but isn't the most skilled out there. We're constantly matched up against D1-D5 teams even though we flutter between D40 and D50 pretty readily.

Feature: Link to team profiles from game logs so it is not so cumbersome to look up the team you just finished playing against.

Feature: "Pass-to" indicator - on the screen of the puck carrier only, highlight the person that they'd be passing to IF they were to hit the pass button - this would reduce passes to the wrong player.

Feature: Full online stats / box scores for EASHL games - last 10 games log isn't enough, and has almost no detail.
