Wow, this went right to the feels! Although i did not find humour in this, for these are happening for real, you are not the only one.
I also want to add some venting here:
Why does it oh so often happen to be the case that i drive the posession game, and have excellent shots on goal, while the (computer) goalie makes excellent saves, while on my back end, my superstar goalie can't, literally, handle the first two shots of the game? No matter how, the computer almost always gets the best of me at the start of the game. And no, i'm not a ******, i know how to whoop your *** in the game, you... you.. people who think the game is perfect and we the people are not!
Also, does this happen to anyone else: a perfect shot opportunity, perfect timing.. and.. no shot, the stick just stops on the ice, the player doesn't make the shot. I have had this happen so many times, i know this is not an accident.
Also weird skater animations that last for a lifetime, defensive faceoff wins that way too often go towards my own goalie, and AI automatic hit targeting system that you cannot by any means avoid or dodge with any deke.
