Kanish posted:Is there a "TURN THE gently caress AROUND" button on D? No. Be prepared to spend 75% of your time gently breathing on the control sticks to fruitlessly attempt to continue facing the puck. Spoiler, you'll spin around away from it when you actually need to do something and the inevitable goal will be your fault.

And the new side stepping move is such a great feature now when you can't even face the puck properly. One more wtf EA?

 Game of the year. Also, since I know there was nextgen console purchase chatte, the game is undeniably smoother overall on Xbone, from menus to saving/loading to gameplay.

Having skipped the franchise for the better part of the decade, it's pleasing that super cheesy goals don't seem to work that well anymore, but I've seen way too many "guy who isn't even facing the net blindly flings a backhand from the slot at 90mph past the goalie" type goals playing online. Really hoping they knock that success rate down in an upcoming tuner. Might be the worst issue about any online play other than the goalie sliding the puck slowly out in front of net that can't be intercepted in any meaningful way, mentioned earlier.

I'm enjoying the part where the AI defense leaves a forward standing in the slot all by himself and lets the other forward pass it to him for the one-timer. And when they inevitably score, of course the coach yells at me.

It's incredibly frustrating and I've dashboarded many times after being down 3-0 in my first 3 shifts.

AI defenders always break their coverage at the most unfortunate events and wander somewhere. They don't have a concept of playing area and man defense at the same time. Online vs games consist mostly of circling in the corner waiting for this opportunity to open for easy onetimer goals. And playing only as Blackhawks of course.

Then either I play D and stop that guy specifically or I stay in nets and hope I'm on a team with a guy who'll put the down-low guy through the boards. Wheeeeee

worst thing about the game is AI defenseman logic on the breakout. They love skating from behind the net to the post and occasionally put the puck in the net themselves.flakeloaf posted:Then either I play D and stop that guy specifically or I stay in nets and hope I'm on a team with a guy who'll put the down-low guy through the boards. how is that possible in this game?

flakeloaf posted:I love the guy without the puck skating through the crease behind me and getting stuck. Every once in a while my centre in HUT will just fully skate into me when I'm bringing the puck up from behind the net, with hilarious result. I'm liking HUT as an alternative to online VS, you still play ludicrous all-star teams on the reg but it's trivial to build a decent enough squad after a few games that you don't feel overmatched. People also seem less likely to quit on you if you go up 3-1 in the 2nd. Plus you're guaranteed to not be playing against two guys constantly trying to set up the same play for 15 minutes as the Blackhawks. Helps a lot if you pre-ordered and get a pack a week though.

It's really frustrating to play someone's million-puck/hundred-dollar team of Crosby/Getzlaf/Perry/Weber/Burns/Rinne etc, yeah. Beating them with top two centres Brock Nelson and Nazem Kadri is really satisfying though. The best thing about the P2W guys is they tend to be kinda lovely at actually playing the game. When you get into the higher Divs and find the guys who can really play it's a bit of a nightmare.

I stopped playing with my 86 average team after I made first division last year. Though the game also sucked bad so it was really easy decision. I lucked out Doughty from one of the free packs was hell bent on conquering the whole league with him but it turned out that having Doughty or having Wisniewsky didn't have much difference in the game.

Cool. I'll sign up tonight and then you'll have an awful, terrible, no-good very bad goalie. By the way, the solution to the down-low-to-slot-onetimer is to squeeze both triggers and jam the right stick in the direction you want to go. You'll do a ten-foot butterfly-slide out of the crease and land right in front of the forward. The solution to that solution is for the centre to drop it back and have the other winger put it into the now empty net  Kanish posted:jesus can they take out fights in OTP  If you play a female character you will never get roughing, fighting or unsportsmanlike penalties.

AI breakout logic is poo poo in general whether it's vs or EASHL. EASHL they get trapped behind the net all day. Both vs and EASHL AI players constantly skate into traffic, or skate right ahead of you. Pleads and I played 5 games of our annual super series and I realized how loving broken the AI and game is. The AI is as bad as ever, actually worse for the reasons noted imo. The only difference is they've hosed with passing so much that you can't capitalize on it as frequently. Don't even get me started on defensive positioning good lord. In you end, anything below the circles is an invitation for both ai defensemen to follow you to the corner as the center. The ai regularly does that in eashl too though, the LD going to clear the RD's corner. Or the AI d cannot figure out how to cover if the forward hangs on his off wing a little higher in the slot. pretend to care posted:I only seem to encounter the Canadiens.

Forechecking being vastly improved due to poke checking 'physics' is the one true positive I can say about this game. Whatever ground gained there is negated by the fact that skates constantly don't pick up the puck even when no one is near them.
