Just to clarify, you're not forced to play the Olympics, as much as they do in fact occur. You don't have to have control of a national team. Additionally, in historical play, you can either select 'recalculation' or 'FHM development' modes. If you select recalculation, the player will basically be what they were. If you select FHM, while Gretzky is still going to be awesome (he's not suddenly going to become a one-year-and-done bust, for example), many players may not be what they were--or may be better than what they were. In a historical league, I have had more than one player outplay their career stats (especially where they only got a handful of games and went on a hot streak in FHM). In that same league, Lindros never became much, while the Great One produced quite a few more goals than he did irl.
