Does anyone think if EA pushed back the release until a couple days before the season the game wouldn't of gotten as much hate? If the game came with playoff mode, otp and gm draft at launch would the majority be ok with it?
The gameplay is the best hockey I've played. The new tuner makes online games so much better. I play real hockey online and now I can control the puck in the offensive zone, stop the spammers who only take one guy and try to get breakaway goals, or try to take their one guy, skate the whole rink and do a one timer to get goals.
We do need some board physics, defensive sticks control other than lifting the stick. I'd love to have a reverse stick lift where we can put our stick over theirs to mess them up. When your team calls a time out have a play call screen like Madden where you can choose different plays to try and get a goal. Pre made and custom. Same with defense.
