being a hockey ref i wanted to comment on a ref's thought process and why i dont mind this idea as much as i thought i would. if this is implemented correctly (and i hope to god they talked to actual refs about this), i could see it working well. When a player argues with a ref, 99.9% of the time the ref will not change his call, even if he knows he's wrong. If he is wrong, odds are he wont call unsportsmanlike, you cant add another penalty when u already screwed up once. if the ref is right and the player is relentless the ref often gives the extra 2 mins. when a ref fucks up usually there is a makeup call somewhere down the way. bad tripping call? might see a minor hooking call the other way. refs remember when they screw up, especially when you tell them. you may not even know it, but generally the call gets made up. so if u argue with the ref in this game, if u get away without a penalty, i would imagine it would help ur team get a powerplay later. this could either be completely worthless (very typical EA) or work really well (typical EA Canada). we'll see what happens, but im ok with this addition.
