If you want to play online then be prepared to throw all hockey knowledge out the window. If you can dangle and poke check then you are good to go. I was fortunate enough to have received this as a gift instead of putting my money into the game. I had high hopes for online play but it is fool's gold.

I dont play online much and I agree with your statement but I always thought online and offline in all sports games should have separate sliders bases for the exact issues you brought up .

update , Ok Im truly amazed at what EA has done with AI and strategy this year as I fell behind 3-0 to TB as FLA and they became more patient not really conservative or a shell as its little things like this are subtle but blow me away with the detail , very impressive and I have both hu and cpu strategy maxed
