Online play is terrible

[fishbert]

9 times out of 10, I get scored on with the exact same goal. Can't figure out how to stop an opponent from doing this at least 5 times in a match.

Oh, and this is really frustrating, too. Just played a guy who did this all game. Just touch him ever so lightly and you go flying.

I feel your pain! This is exactly why I limit my online games to people in my friends list that play realistic hockey and want realistic stats.

None of those are glitch goals and that hipcheck video is from the demo. Online play is fine except for a few things..

The new tuner update ruined the legit goals and made it so people have to do unrealistic things to score now.. It has now become a figure skating constest but I am stopping them, it is just annnoying..

And I am 44-14 in otp and club.. All I am saying is that they need to up the poke, and decrease the deke and protect puck feature effectiveness

Im not seeing any glitches.

If you let a real life NHL forward skate right across the face of the goal, or let him in one on one with the goalie, they're going to score more often than not.

I know it may seem like a glitch goal when guys online attempt to recreate these types of opportunities over and over again, but they're actually pretty easy to defend. I try to play as realistically as possible when online, and I've been beating most of the guys who only try to go for these types of goals. There's a little bit of a learning curve to the defense, but once mastered, you can shut down guys that try and spam one or two types of scoring techniques.

Guys, I never said any of this was glitchy (though I think the 'I don't care if you slowed down to a crawl, touch my hip and you go flying because the laws of physics don't really apply here' comes pretty close). I know the videos have that in the title, but they're not my videos and I have no control over that.

That's the problem, though… the vast majority of players I've run in to online do that exact same thing over and over and over again. I do my best to defend it, but they still break through multiple times in a game and the score ends up lopsided. Again, not a glitch, but I do consider it a little cheap when my AI defenseman never do a thing to break this up, either. Can't play as a team; I've got to try and stop everything myself.

Or, here's an idea: why can't my goalie get a clue that this is coming and move to stop it himself? Sure, that leaves open the near side of the net, but that's only fair (and realistic).

If anyone has any pointers on how to reliably shut this down, I'd love to hear them.

Glad more people are seeing this, I made a thread about it a day or two after release. The game is awesome, but incredibly unbalanced.
