Wow... I just watched the video of game play from last week. The in-game scenario selection thing has just been implemented way too heavily. It came up like 8 times in the first couple of minutes of the game. Even the dev turned it off in the end as it was becoming so monotonous, the 2D engine still isn't convincing me either - even just in the first few minutes of the game, you can see players holding onto the puck for too long, players not coming into support and the puck carrier not utilising obvious passing lanes. I'd hoped this video would convince me to buy the game, it hasn't.
