This has been an annoyance to me and it's starting to become ridiculous. Dump the ****ing puck when your killing a penatly. This "Whats this 5-on-4, I play aggressive all the time" is ********. In the last 10 games I've given up 14 shorthanded goals because players skate around and play they're the ones playing on the powerplay.
This game is beginning to come back to its roots where it benefits those who don't know **** all about how hockey is played moreso than the ones who do, all they know is "Hey, I'll skate around behind the net, skate out in front and shoot short side before the goalie sucks back into the post"
I've lost 9 games in a row against players like this. I'm trying to get a realistic game going, but as soon as I get up 1-0, they turn the cheese-o-meter up and thats all they try. As much as they like to say "Its easy to stop" its not. Those who play posistional defense are much worse off then those who skate right into you going for the big hit. Take this example of my last game, which I lost 7-1.
Edmonton(me) vs Atlanta(him)
Shots: 42 - 9
Hits: 11 - 78
TOP: 14:00 - 1:30
PP: 1-3 - 0-0
SHG: 0 - 4
OTG: 0 - 4
As you can see, the player who sets up, looks for plays and even resorts to just throwing the puck at the net is much worse off than the ****** who skates at the net and slaps it top cheese. The shots and chances are in my favor by a ridiculous amount, yet simply because he doesn't have a ****ing clue what he's doing, the game benefits him.
It seems like you get penalzied more for BEING IN POSISTION than you do destroying poor Ales Hemsky who didn't even have the puck. It seems like creating plays for offensive zone, powerplay and breakout are useless, you'd rather skate up the ice like this (~~~~~~~~~~~) <-- example. and It WORKS
Im sure there are legit, honest players on here, those who would rather chip the puck out on a penalty kill the go on the aggressive every ****ing time. I mean if I get a bonafide chance, I'll take it, but if it closes up on me, I chip the puck out.
We've all played them, and isn't it so hard to adjust your REALISTIC style to play into their hand? Last game after being down 3-0 after 1, I was frustrated with the other 8 losses which had come the same way, I tried the same drunk skater, bob and weave no pass all out PK and the slot slap shot. It doesn't work. These ******s have the **** down to a science.
