Dump N' Cheese: Pass the Cheese (or Not)

[RaychelSnr]

After a few weeks of playing in the EASHL, I must say that I am very happy with EA.

It seems like most of the cheesy goals from NHL 09 and NHL 10 have been fixed. No more is my team being pummeled by wraparounds and curve shots. Now, poor souls that go for toe drags are ending up on their butts. The loop glitch that was rampant in the spring months has not been noticeable in NHL 11. Self boarding while carrying the puck into the offensive zone (my personal cause of annoyance in NHL 10) is not beneficial anymore since checking someone who is boarding himself results in the check being changed into a boarding animation.

The only cheese that has been reported by the ever vigilant EASHL players is the difficulty in dealing with excessive dangling. A player equipped with nimble thumbs can easily deke and dangle his way from his own end to the slot and score -- checks and poke checks are generally rendered useless with a quick use of protect puck feature.

Yep, I am very happy with the attention that EA Sports is giving NHL this year.

I'm playing Halo and Dead Rising until the patch. With a little bit of HUT to get my hockey fix.

I would agree most the blatant cheese is gone, toe drags are still there, just closer to the goalie normally coming from behind the goalie and across. I think the AI defenders are still a little useless to stop this so mostly on power plays is where we get caught. Short side non break aways with a little left-right stick deke action can catch the computer goalie for a short side goal almost every time. Had a guy literally do this 3 times...overall though happy to see the fixes. I think my only complaints are the defensive AI seems to play themselves out of position A LOT and the EASHL playoffs are waaaaay too long.

Tuner 1.03 was scary, but 1.04 makes it back to normal as far as the glitching goes.

I'm pretty happy with the way NHL Dev. Team handled the issues that were causing a problem online last season.

While it's not perfect, things are getting better and that's a good thing.

I wouldn't go back to NHL 10 unless I was forced to.

It definitely is a huge improvement from NHL10. Those toe drag shots always got me so angry.

Re: Dump N' Cheese: Pass the Cheese (or Not)

Ehh.. no cheese goals? I strongly doubt it. There is one in the game as i went to practice and did the shot from the same area.. I would say 95% of the time it's a goal.. not too impressed.

pulling off a goal in practice mode on pro/normal over and over has nothing to do w/ online OTP

The boost glitch is pretty much all I'm unhappy about. HUGE improvement over 10.

very happy with NHL 11...thank GOD they fixed the wrap around bs...that was, well, bs...

[milesizdead]

Yup, before release I was highly sceptical about HUT considering what a glitchfest versus games were in NHL10, now with highly reduced amount of cheese online HUT is a blast!!!

Re: Dump N' Cheese: Pass the Cheese (or Not)

I was pretty satisfied, like I said in my previous spot, until I got loop glitch twice last night.

Won't say EA is in fault, but there's people pretty serious about cheating in that game, and they find a new way.

When you have 2 hours to spend in hobbies in a night and you waist it because of cheaters, that's freaking annoying!

If you remember the details of what happened please PM them to me.

Message sent. I hope it was just bad luck last night, but I'm not believing in Santa anymore.

My impression is that someone find a way to make it work again this year because the process last night was really almost the same than in NHL 10.

Still, that game is rock solid. It's people playing online that make it a bad experience at times.

i agree in what u said 110%!

i dont know if EA could do something about it because they are doing a fantastic job to have all these glitches removed. but we will just boil down to individuals who, for whatever reason, would do EVERYTHING to cheat and win a VIDEO GAME. its just pathetic that people do this.
