If you select specific teams, can you also select specific player numbers for their sweaters?

How long does the finish hold up on the players? And do the red/blue standard players have the same finish as the custom team painted players? Trying to determine if it is worth it to get the NHL licensed team colors and logos. Replacing standard red/blue players has to be a lot less coin when they wear out.

Look like it goes from $2695 to $3195 for the NHL Licensed version. Am I missing something?

Has anyone raised the height of the game? I played at an arcade last weekend and am a bit more bent over when playing than I would like to be. Can you trust the game on a raised base?

I built a simple platform with 2x4s on edge using Home Depot corner brackets. A couple 2x4s across the middle for support and used the plywood that was a part of the pallet the game was shipped on for the base. Two cans of primer/paint combo and I am in business. Doesn't move around at all. I left a little room around the edges incase I wanted to put molding, but not needed
