Producer David Littman Talks NHL 14

They better fix the AI teammates in EASHL. For 2 years straight now, the AI is horrible. How hard is it to have the AI know that if you are down a goal under 2 mins...but on the PK...to not dump the puck everytime. It's ridiculous.

EA has to realize that not every EASHL team has 6 humans. Most are 2 and 3 human teammates with the rest AI. As a winger, I should not have to immediately head back to my own net on every faceoff since the AI is going to give the puck up....

Here's hoping....

The Game is still very playable realistic and fun offline but I think we can all agree EA spends too much time for online and EA even tries to force us to play online which I hate jeez look at all the games trophies 85 % are for online.
Im not saying they shouldnt but dont ignore the offline gamers or at least give us separate tuners as we are a pretty large group and we just dont wanna play online .

I believe comparatively to those who are no longer living and breathing.

yeah, the GMC Mode was a dud this year. it just was their online league they already had, just fluffed up with menus etc. I thought it was going to be a blast. i was wrong. hopefully they spent sometime beefing this mode up and make it fun to play. having a shorter 29, 41, or 48 game season is a MUST. end of story, a must!

Just make sure it comes out on the Vita this year...

i would love if there was a mode similar to CC that we have in madden..thats the only thing keeping me from being a yearly buyer of NHL

Something that has also bothered me about this series is the lack of deflection goals or deflections at all. I see one once in a blue moon in NHL13, yet in watching games on tv I would say that deflections happen at least 50% of the time on shots. I guess I'm so sour on this series becasue it looks nothing like it's real world counterpart.

i have played hundreds of games with all the different player types in the EASHL.

the best player type attempting deflections is the two way forward. attempts putting his stick up on majority of shots coming through and also does a lot of the jumping out of the way animation so he dont block the shot.

next best, the sniper. yup. makes no sense, but the sniper build gets sticks on pucks almost as much as the two way.

most the other builds, grinder, tough guy get some here and there but not like the above.
