First off, I'm not a EA or BAP basher...I love BAP, it just quickly became so frustrating. So far I've played 23 games now in the WHL, and accumulated 4 goals and 4 assists. As a playmaking Center...1 assist was an empty netter. Another I shot off my teammates head. Is anyone having fun playing this mode? I no longer have fun. I set my sliders 7 games ago, on All-Star, full 20 minute periods and didn't touch anything. The total goals have gone from 9, 7, 4, 5, 3, 3, 2. It keeps going down....
As for my teammates, every time they skate the puck into the corner, they do nothing and just lose it! It's so frustrating. The most frustrating part is I can skate around the entire offensive zone, and yet my two wingers just stand by the net doing absolutely nothing but get into a net battle animation or let themselves be covered. They NEVER try to get open. The CPU seems to always be on top of things, and I get QUADRUPLE TEAMED. This is another obnoxious thing. If I get the puck at the point or along the boards, at times 3-4 defenders will go right at me. The worst part is there is no possible way to pass through them. I've tried manual saucer passes, they intercept (even with low sliders) or tip, EVERYTHING. I had no where near this many problems on 16, even though 16's Be A Pro was meh... Another thing, my AI teammates seem hell bent on trying to pass through the CPU as well. The majority of my lines goals are me getting a real lucky bounce once every 3 games or so, or the CPU putting the puck in it's own net.
Is anyone having better luck?
