On a side note, The Purple Cobraz spanked us the only time we played them. We hung with them for a while, but one of our D-men got disconnected and they eventually worked us over to the tune of something like 8-1. We had an AI goalie (not sure if they did or not, but they had human skaters), so once we were forced to one human D-man, they picked us apart with the cross-crease. I remember a lot frustration on the mics that game, as we couldn't adapt to having that damn AI guy fowling up our D-zone coverage. At that point (shortly after 2nd patch I believe), we had five guys who played together all the time and were playing quite well for about a month stretch post-patch. C'est la vie... (or something, I never took French) |

Playing with only one human D with a CPU goalie was frustrating once the glitch goals got out of control.
I played D and was often the only human back there and it was damn frustrating. I mean, I knew exactly what was coming and could shut them down most of the time, but once I got caught it was game over. We'd get down a goal and start pressing more and the game would snowball downhill. If the other team was fast, I'd drop back to the redline to play prevent defense, but of course the offense suffered with no point man. The only way to open up teams D down low was with a point man with a cannon of a shot. We never got a dump and chase working consistently. The weak side D man usually would cover. Also, lots of teams figured out that you could interfere with players all you want as long as you didn't hit the stick to actually check the player. One or two little bumps was enough to slow you down to where the puck was theirs. Teams like that just destroyed us. |

Its funny, theres now a recap video on the EAsports RAC youtube channel with a complete recap of all the games from the series and 99.9% of them are short side, cross crease or curve shots. Man those Cobra guys sure do know how to exploit glitch goals I'll give them that. :brickwall:

not sure what you want these guys in the finals to do realmk. fair point about lack of goal scoring variety but i imagine it's a very difficult thing to tweak correctly. probably the last thing redshirt wants to do is make the goaltenders too bad and have the game turn into people just throwing as much rubber as possible at the net and crossing their fingers.

if you guys feel like wasting some time, check out some of the gameplay video of past madden championships. it's dudes who think they're members of the wu tang clan matching the same cheapest team against each other running the same 2 plays at each other all game.
the eashl finals actually turned out better than i thought it was going to and i think the main reason was that there were no AI players on the ice to take advantage of. i wish the entire eashl was like that. |
