Dump' N' Cheese: Shady Morals in EASHL

During his attempts he mentioned if they ever do it to you go into replay and sit there. During a stretch of games I would purposely sit in replay while he would try to attempt to loop a game in order to sabotage his efforts and it worked. However I was on his team so.... The reason I played with him was the team was a clean team save for him which was annoying since he would try to glitch every time. Not to mention finding a team that plays solid good hockey that still plays club regularly. I eventually quit and removed him from my friends list but it was definitely awkward having to play with someone of that mentality. Lots of uncomfortable silences when you hear "I'm looping this".

this replay method does not work, just tried this last night. we were killing a glitch team, and sure enough, 1:30 to go the game is pause. I have all my team go into the replay mode and wait until time runs out. at the faceoff, the loop...eventual disconnect, no win.

and I don't think you should be cheesing cheesers, it only encourages them to think its ok to do that crap. my team has never attempted a single glitch shot, reverse skate, wraparound, cherrypick, or bring the wrister behind your body before you shoot it... and find it much more satisfying to beat glitch teams with real hockey.

we like to show them that if you put as much effort into real hockey (moving the puck, using all your teammates (gulp, even the AI)) as they do on glitching -- then they would actually score MORE goals and win more games.
I'll never understand how its fun to do the same thing over and over and over again anyway...shouldn't these little kids be bored by now and moved on to glitching some halo game or something?!

please EA, program some random element of goalie AI so you have to actually look at the goalie to see where to shoot instead of the same ol tricks working on him over and over...

This is what I don't understand, it's July, there's no playoffs to try to get into and the glitching is as bad as ever.
You would think at this time of year it would be guys that love hockey playing the game, and like you say the other people would move on to some other game by now.
I think these guys that are doing anything to get to the top at this time of year have some real "life issues". No normal person would think it's something special to be #1 in the casual league with a 200-10 w/l record in July.

if EA would have the balls to actively patch these problems out of the game it would be much appreciated. They did do SOME (Ie: fixed slap passes, make pinning less cheesy, tried to fix the curve shot) but there are still glitches that are unacceptable (wrap around cheese, the other type of curve shot) along with the looping glitch.

imo they also need to do something about quitters/disconectors.. punish them! if someone disconnects enough, ban them for 24 hours! then longer if needed, enough is enough. the casual leagues can have the quitters, in EASHL they should not be tolerated by EA.

They need to find a better way to punish win traders too... I'm tired of being on a winning streak with my team, and because we have too many dnf wins we stop receiving points... Great solution EA.

Actually, it does work, but what your whole team has to do is NEVER hit the A button at any time in the game to resume the game. In between faceoffs, intermissions, pauses...never.

I play on a legit team, widely recognized in the EASHL for our clean play, and we've been spreading the word as best we can to everyone. Never, ever hit A at any point in the game to skip through anything and you shouldn't get looped. Since we've learned this, we've only been looped once in about a month. The other night, we sat through 6 loop attempts over two games and didn't get looped any of those times.

ok thanks for clarifying. although I don't know whats worse, waiting through every pause and intermission...or getting glitched out of a win. hehe...we'll probably just accept losing our wins, its not that important I guess..

props on trying to keep EASHL clean though!

Once again a good read. This thread is a salvation. It gives you hope that non-glitching teams do exist. And as you mentioned even some of the "top-teams" lose their moral when they're losing. It's no fun to be on a winning side when these "normally" non-glitching opponents get a glitch goal just before time runs out --> overtime.
