It's funny, because what I don't like in the NHL game is the fact that you can outspeed a D from the side, lower your shoulder and drive the net.

I guess it's normal that you could do a triple-axel followed by a double-piqué in front of two defenseman before making a kick leg move and undressing the goalie since it happens every game in the NHL while what I want never happened in the game since hockey been invented.

Don't give me the head of the NHL dev. team because you're freaking deke will be thrown out of the game and I'll tell whinning glitching babies to go play NHL 3 vs. 3 arcade if they want to see Ice-Capades with a rubber puck!

Wtf are you talking about? it's a quick way to get around someone when you're on the rush. I don't think you exactly know what I'm talking about.

Lemme guess, you're trying it with someone like Tanner Glass and expecting him to be Gretzky

No, I'm trying it with real forwards, like Hall, Tavares, Zetterberg. You know, guys who can dangle.

But I suppose everything is a glitch in this game, when someone else can't do it. Pretty soon playing any sort of D will be a glitch. Shot blocking, you're next.

How were you doing it with those guys?? Since we can only play with BOS and VAN in the demo.... :/

I was thinking the ice looked weird/not as good as '11 too, but I've been playing the PS3 version for two years so I just assumed it was maybe an Xbox thing.

You don't get the point I guess. We don't say you shouldn't be able to deke with some players, we just say that out of 10 dekes in front of a d-man, Pavel Datsyuk will have a 2-3 success and find himself box in a corner on the 7-8 other times.

There's no way that every player in the game should be able to make a deke from 3 to 9 (or 9 to 3) to pass a D every time. To me, the more you try it, the less it should work because you can beat a D one time, but next time, he'll be ready for it.

Definition of a glitch : Something use by the majority because it's working and those who master it are able to successfully do it every time. That deke you talk about is a glitch because if you're good with the stick, you can do it every time (against a CPU).

Blocking shot will never be a glitch because you have to be in perfect position to block a shot. That was a glitchers answer you came up with there.
