Kind folks-
Apologies for the randomness of this post, but I need some PSN friend therapy. I jumped back online for NHL 12 versus matches after a launch week hiatus...and I'm absolutely horrified.

I couldn't believe the childish, kindergarten-esque displays of individuals continuously running goalies, doing the same exploits (cross crease touch pass, dive swipes) for the entire duration of the game. And, of course, I was powerless to stop this. The sad - and simultaneously amazing - fact of all this was my ability to beat and nearly beat these yahoos. At some point, one would think they'd attempt to actually play the game. Nope.

(I did get outshot infinity to 10, however.)

I'm seriously about to abandon all hope on this game in versus - likewise perhaps 2K12 Bball, Madden and FIFA - if some normal people aren't willing to beat me senseless in good sport fashion.

Apologies for the PSN user name add plea (mine is OrngeAlum), but it would be nice to play a game online how it was intended = fun, competitive. I've been playing sports video game for 20+ years, and simply want to enjoy the experience online. I'd also be receptive for your beating me down in other genres of titles we share.

Thanks for humoring, please don't mock. I've had enough Internet-based game frustration for the day. Ugh.
