i can not express how bad this game is in some aspects. A. if i turn the difficulty up, it doesnt get more difficult to play against, their goalie just becomes super human, and their shots get more accurate. ill still outshoot them 35-9, but they will win 4-1. how much fun is that? and the goals they score. somehow, my goalie will get himself out of position, and the computer will just lob a shot into the corner.
or sometimes my goalie will make a save, and the puck will go in the air. my defenseman will wait for it, and somehow wont get it, but their player will zoom in, and get it and score. immediately.
or, heres a fun one. my goalie will make a save, and go to cover it, but somehow the computer will zoom in and poke it in.
and the passing. my god. how many times have i tried to pass to an open player and the pass goes to someone else. or the pass will go to the right player... sorta. usually it just misses by a mile. and this happens ALL THE TIME on odd man rushes.
slow changes too. how many times, on a PK have i gotten the puck, lifted it down the ice, and called for a wholesale change? all the time. how many times has a defensemen raced back (mind you, he was at the centre line when i called for the change) and throw a 150 foot pass to some streaking forward, and none of my players are 15 feet from the bench? happens ALL THE TIME.
edit: my god, a game like this JUST happened. lost to new jersey 2-1. i outshot them 27-16. granted, thats ok, i like a challenge, it wasnt that lopsided. but i was up 1-0. they take a shot that hits millers shoulder, and pops up. that happens. nothing wrong yet. the puck lands behind miller. everytime this happens, the goalie lays down on it. but as hes going down, a new jersey forward gets in there, and to add insult to injury, he roofs it off the cross bar and miller is laying down. do you know how often ive knocked in a puck as the goalie goes to lay down? 0. how many times have i been right there to jam it in? countless. the second goal was a turn over that was my fault, so no complaints there except my own impatience.
this this this this this and this
