Seems to be some controversy over this topic. I'm just wondering what the community's take is on this subject.
I think the current lag out procedure is good for the regular season. I do not think it should apply in playoffs, however. Playoffs should be determined with no computer involvement period in my opinion. The AI change the game, and can help/hurt both teams involved. Under no circumstances should a game in the playoffs be played without all members present. I feel bad for Arizona, cause last night was an unfortunate example from both sides of how an AI can change the game. Regular Season: Keep as is Playoffs: Immediate quit at next whistle. Let time run down, take pim, play on.
I agree, playoffs should be treated like the rules in pro series which would result in the game being restarting on the next whistle and not the end of the period.
Well if you're well aware of the rules wtf is the poll for.................... If you want the rule you already know possibly changed make a poll about that, not the worthless poll you made here.
Obviously you misinterpreted the thread. Looks like @frostx17 understood it ok. That being said, I'm not going to waste my time on a guy who's clearly looking for a problem for whatever reason.
If you don't feed the AI after a lag out I don't wish to speak to you. Live long and prosper Bot Joe.
Not looking for a problem just stating that if you want a proper answer ask a proper question...............
The question is pretty clear to be honest. 'When should the game be stopped during a lag out' with three choices allows for people to vote on what they think is correct. There were multiple playoff games that had lag outs, and at the time the thread was posted people were talking back and forth in the chat box about it. Could it have been worded differently? Sure. But I think the question itself is pretty self explanatory for someone giving an answer on a legitimate issue for people in playoffs.
Well what if people don't live in the shoutbox and didn't read this thread tell the next day?? How the hell are they supposed to know that the poll is about the playoffs??....
