It has some effect on my purchasing decisions too... but since I'm no ice hockey fan, I can live with few year old stuff. True, power of licenses are great.

If I am a fan I can't stand to play in the "old" jerseys. If my favorite teams has those new cool players ... I want to play with them. If new clubs are in the league (like it is in soccer each season), hell, I want to play with them - or against them in their stadium. That is hotter than new physics ;-) and that is why I am willing to pay 50 Eur for a game like that... an indie could make a soccer game that is way better than FIFA or PES (PES sucks!), I wouldn't buy it, because they are missing the big thing: original players, original faces, original stadiums and all that big stuff :-) I prefer soccer over icehockey, but hey, EA makes now great soccer games again (PES sucks!), but it doesn’t matter: What differentiates big sports games from indie games are not those new little features you mentioned (which are great, yeah) but the licensed players, original faces, jerseys, original replicas of stadiums and so on.
