Criticism
Some owners of the game, specifically Wii users, have experienced frozen screens and self-deleting save files. The save file disappearances tend to be linked with playing extended hours of the franchise mode. Through community testing, it appears saving franchise mode immediately following an automatic game save causes the franchise data to be lost. Also, playing through more than a couple of months of a season in succession has resulted in frozen screens that can lead to lost data. Take-Two Interactive has assured fans that these are rare and isolated occurrences.
The game also features historical dynasty and popular teams. These include the New York Islanders of the 1980s, Montreal Canadiens of the 1950s (and others), however; the accuracy of the teams are questionable as they have arbitrary players identified as position not name and jersey numbers that do not correspond to the real teams. Additionally, some historical sweaters that can be chosen to be worn in the game are designed inaccuarately, an example being the Boston Bruins' 1926 jersey among others.
Also the numbers that are on the front of jerseys for Tampa Bay Lightning, San Jose Sharks, New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres and Dallas Stars do appear in the game they are just hard to see.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
