Thats just it....Im burnt out from tweaking this game. I have no energy to start trying new sliders and to tweak them to my liking just to play with this update only to find that I hate it in the end anyway. I have good sliders that I have been using with my season with no update installed and my games have been great so I'm going to stick with that. This update is a joke for all intensive purposes and shows EA will only cater to the casual hockey gamer. After 4 games with it here is how things played out
Game #1 - Froze on load up
Game #2 - Froze 5 minutes in and no PPs for either side....was only 5 minutes though
Game #3 - 1 PP for me 1 PP for CPU
Game #4 - 0 PP for me 0 PP for CPU
Impressions are as follows;
The Good - Puck is looser and CPU teamates play the puck after tying up on face off. Numbers on helmets nice touch, but you only see them during cut scenes not a big deal to me.
The Bad - Still no penalty fix....even if some of you are getting 2-3 a game its way to low over the course of a season. Way too many breakaways...in the 2 games I managed to play I had 3 breakaways in one and 5 in another. I noticed that I was not getting called for the goalie interference and even scored a goal after a CPU teamate bowled the goalie over. CPU guys hit and tried to start fights with my goalie everytime he covered the puck.
The bad makes the game seem so arcade like that it makes the few little good things insignificant. I'm sorry if I am in the minority here, but EA took a long time for this update and outside of the Dive issue on-line, clearly did not listen to the community in this or any other forum when they developed the patch. Consider this update uninstalled.
