That's a pretty far leap and an excuse for bugs and exploits. haha. They could exploit anything they want to given that they DEVELOPED THE GAME!! lol

I know for a fact, some of the teams that beat us were 12 year old glitchers, not EA devs That post was nonsense.

Simply put. Just more and more dumb useless crap that 12 and 13 year old kids love. How about a real hockey experience? How about not wasting resources on such innane children's play like HUT? How about making a game that plays like hockey for real hockey players? How about returning the Commishioner Mode so if mature players want to play MATURELY, they can against one another in their OWN leagues? Im sick and tired of the same ridiculous garbage year after year.

Myself and my EASHL team are all around 30, and loved HUT.

I believe he called the developers cheaters.

I feel pausing needs to be removed from the mode completely. Let people check stats between periods and after the game. Not in the middle of the period.

They should make if like FIFA. Where when you hit start, it only affects YOU and only YOU, while everyone else can keep playing. How hard is it to do that?

Agreed, pausing is my #1 pet peeve online. Some games turn into a pausing war! Only pausing your own player just seems like common sense, especially if you have someone show up at your door, you just let the CPU take over. I really thought they were going to address this, but I guess not.

I know it's going to be a long game when it starts with a pause screen before the opening face off.

I think a good idea would be to let you skate to the bench and swap out with a cpu team mate for a bit. From there you can access the pause menu, take a bathroom break, or what ever you do without having to delay the whole game.
