Short side goal exploit?

[ki11joy]

Everyone I'm playing online is doing this one move where you come in short side at an angle, deke backhand-to-forehand, and the goalie will either cheat off the post, or will cover up every space and the puck will still go in no matter what. It's gotten to the point where this move will work even when you're below the goal line. The only reason I haven't labeled this a full-blown glitch goal is because it doesn't work 100% of the time, but maybe no one has found the best way to do so. Either way, it's gotten extremely annoying and the goalies should not be giving up goals like that. They shouldn't even be biting on a deke like that. Anyone else had this used against them? Example of what I'm talking about here (notice how the puck is below the goal line and goes THROUGH the net despite the goalie covering all angles): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzUGOM6om9M

It sounds familiar. The worst short side ones I see are the ones from a foot away lifted almost straight up over the shoulder. As someone that plays goal off and on thats the most annoying one. nothing you can do about it.

Okay, I just lost a game where all 4 goals the opponent scored were short side. Every single goal. This crap is ridiculous. And now they don't even need to do the backhand-forehand deke, they can just shoot short side and the goaltender is just too stupid to deal with it.

Yep, this goes in a lot. I've had it done to me three times in a game tonight.

Just watched the video frame by frame. That shot went through the net... backside of the goal post!!! Total BS.

I've played a lot against top players in this game (Versus), played about 100 games, and I've never seen this goal happen to me once.

I've played NHL 11 and 12 and people always come in like this, I only score my goals from the point like most players do in real life... Only one game I've seen is where someone shot from the point and not the shortside.

Yeah, I popped in a short side goal once. But I can't seem to it again. I don't even try anymore. Scoring works when you use a variety of strategies and get pressure in front of the net, and shoot from higher percentage areas.
