The fact that they finally release the jets unis and get them wrong is inexcusable. It proves that they aren't hockey fans nor do they watch hockey. EA needs to hire a consultant, someone that has been a hockey fan forever and been playing hockey games forever, like myself.....

...And Myself for the goalie aspects of the game.

They couldn`t fix the paddle down "leg cramp" - continual kicking motion when a human goalie goes down into paddle down stance (the now,near useless paddle down stance that is)

That is just ******** that that even made it through,..."testing",and now to be left for a whole year.

I`ll spend time later today finding the remaining issues for human goalies and cpu goalie,....all things goalie related.
I`m sure I`ll come across other stuff that wasn`t touched,might even find "new stuff"

The inability to see the visting team's line before selecting yours is still dorked. I had hope when I played my first game today, as it appeared like it should for my first face-off. Then I never saw it again.

I'm amazed this does not get mentioned more.

THANK YOU for posting this!!! I find this to be HIGHLY frustrating as I have always wanted to matchup my lines.

I've really had it with this title. It's an arcade game, masked and sold as a "sim" game, of which it resembles very LITTLE of simulation / NHL hockey. You cannot have ANY strategy because of what you just posted above, which if anyone at EA has every listened to the great commentators of the game, will note this a LOT during a hockey broadcast. This is a KEY element of the game, and it's lacking (along with the other wise poster on the previous page who noted the pass reception, even when loading up a pass to full bore, is still to easy). I think this game is going back to gamestop when the new Assassin's Creed game arrives... Pains me to type this as I WANT to love this game, but I just can't...

The patch submission is tomorrow!" "****, no!" *Looks up google, gets picture of knock-off* "What colour should I make the gloves and helmet?" "Who cares? Jet Black?" "Sounds good!" Valid point about Madden by the way. There seems to be a lot of trolling with those complaining about this being branded as whiners, not so much on here I might add, but can you imagine if the New York Giants were stuck with black helmets in Madden? One guy. One solitary guy out of all the dev or QA staff could have checked those uniforms out and said "Hey, wait a minute!". No one bothered.

The gloves are dark blue.. look at the pic in this thread

On the positive side AI seems to get more penalties. In fact they got twice as many as I did and I now have to adjust the sliders again.

On the downside, I encountered 2 freezes in 5 games and had to play Nashville 3 times in my offline season.
