CD event Feedback: What is your GAMEPLAY pet peeve?

[Qb]

OK, to get the ball rolling, I've got a little idea. Please post your SINGLE biggest "pet peeve" regarding the GAMEPLAY of NHL10. In other words, something that happens on the ice that drives you nuts. For example:

My biggest gameplay pet peeve has to be the unrealistic ability to sharply change directions when skating, especially with the puck. In my eyes this hampers the overall realism of the gameplay by de-emphasizing smart positioning and reading of the play. The skating needs to be more deliberate with less agility & acceleration and a greater sense of momentum to more accurately represent what it's like to be ice skates.

Got it? Remember, stick to what happens ON THE ICE please. Thanks.

Mine is the same thing QB it makes defending harder than it should be.
In 2k it seems if im in good defensive position i can usually make a play of some sort but In NHL i cant .

Re: CD event Feedback: What is your GAMEPLAY pet peeve?

Bozos whose idea of playing defense is having their players dive and flop all over the ice to get in the way of the puck or my players. Ridiculous. This pertains to online play.

The CPU being able to change directions so quickly.

There's more but that's the first that comes to mind.

the lackluster AI, especially on the human side (this includes the lack of cpu shots on goal)

+1... Especially your not too sharp offline cpu teammates

CPU going into berzerker mode and watching non-skilled players shoot and pass like all-stars.

Try to be as specific as possible. "Lackluster AI" is quite vague, whereas something like "the CPU is too reluctant to shoot" is more what I'm looking for. I want specific items I can look for and/or point out at the event.

Re: CD event Feedback: What is your GAMEPLAY pet peeve?

fine, how about the lack of a good forecheck and neutral zone play

+1, the CPU's constant Low Shots on Goal Totals.... The very Non-Aggressive CPU is my Biggest Pet-Peeve

Re: CD event Feedback: What is your GAMEPLAY pet peeve?

Kinda hard to describe but I'm sure most of us (if not all) have seen it, and that's when the puck gets dumped into the corner and you can't get possession of it right away. It's like you have to wait for a second before going to pick up the loose puck as it comes back off the boards instead of picking it up smoothly.

And another (forgive me if this isn't really a gameplay issue, but I don't know what other category it would go under) would be the lack of being able to set 4 on 4 OT lines. I hate when my #1 scoring threat is glued to the bench because a different (seemingly random) combination of forwards was sent out.

Re: CD event Feedback: What is your GAMEPLAY pet peeve?

The fact that the defense can skate backwards and poke check at the same time, and doing it over and over again. You can swipe and move backwards but a wiper strike going forwards over and over while skating backwards is redonkulous.

Also the goal celebrations, during my goal celebration I doubt that I would sprint into the net with my face against the crossbar doing some move, it would be in open ice, NOT into the goaltender's face.

Re: CD event Feedback: What is your GAMEPLAY pet peeve?

I hate how certain player builds can be impossible to take the puck from in online play.

Jack up your balance/puck control ratings, make your guy 5'7" 150 pounds, and it's basically impossible for defenders to take the puck from you.

I don't care how good your balance rating is, if a midget gets hit by a full-size defenseman, he should go down in a heap.

Size and weight should have a lot more of an impact on the game than they do now.

Mine would be...

The AI controlled players are far too passive towards the puck carriers. Making it way too easy to just skate from end to end. Nearly always unchallenged.

AI-players are also too passive towards loose pucks.
