There are just too many people in the online community who seem bound and determined to ruin the game.
At the very least offline BAP seems extremely playable this year.

Yeah, it's frustrating. I think I would've gone back to being an offline guy anyways just because I've been that way with hockey games since the early 90's, but I must say that the biggest reason I don't play EASHL and other online modes is because of the "community".

When the whole BAP thing started in 09, I must say it was ****ing awesome. Playing online on my own team with a bunch of dudes from my beer league team was great fun... for about 3 weeks. Then the glitches, the exploits, the general annoyingness of the online community kicked in and I really haven't had any desire to go back since.

Yes, that's all I may play this year (maybe a little HUT if it isn't too annoying). I'm not even sure if our EASHL team is getting back together this year and I have little urge to play anyway. The little AI annoyances you see are nothing compared to the garbage that goes on online.

I was just hoping to see a little progress since the NES. We have outdoor games with snow, players sweating, making expressions and talking... and I must remember not score with a wraparound!

There are sports games, like FIFA, that don't have glitch goals, why not NHL?

FIFA does have glitch goals.

I played several seasons in FIFA 11 without finding a way to score every time. I played maybe ten periods of NHL 12 and found a way to score every time on hardest difficulty. That was my experience.

Obviously in soccer you don't actually get near the goal so often but through three periods of hockey you have the puck behind the net, in the money spot, several times but it should be no excuse for EA.
