I know I am awesome. Sorry if I insulted you personally by writing my thoughts about a video that I just saw.

Don't even worry about them. Just as they think we all sit here and "nitpick" the game or bash it, they sit here and talk like there's nothing wrong with it but a few things here and there. It's great they enjoy the game, but just because they enjoy it they seem to think we have to as well. We're the dumb guys for pointing out the flaws that are there, but just aren't important to them. People hate on us for bringing up the same topics time and time again, but the same people hating on us comeback with the same exact posts they've said before.

You are absolutely correct in saying the goalies are horrid yet again and that is easily seen in those two minutes of gameplay. The same split save animations from point blank shots, the same suction when goalies cover the post, and the same non fluid and unnatural butterfly movement around the crease. I don't care if it's just two minutes of gameplay, the goalies are the exact same and it's easily seen. People who don't see it just don't want to see it. They're not going to magically change on All Star or Superstar hahaha. I didn't expect them to change though because it wasn't on their list of improvements.

Right Bwigs, except for when I agree with you about things like the game needing better AI and better neutral zone pressure among other things that I for one completely agree need improving. Things like tenders having a "push off" animation are indeed nitpicks imo.

That's not to say I wouldn't like to see tender improvements, but it's not the end of the world you tend to make it out to be again imo.

That's why in my post I said you see nothing wrong with the game but a few things here and there. In other words I was intending that one of those things is neutral zone pressure. It's perfectly fine with me if you don't think goalies are important but there have been times where you make us think that we're idiots for wanting goalies changed or other aspects of the game changed. That's what's aggrevating. Not everyone is bashing the game like you think they are. They're voicing the concerns or what they like about the game. That's what the forum is for. Sorry that most of it is more negative then positive. It obviously means a lot of people want changing with this game. Why do you think there's more positivity in The Show section? Because there aren't many problems. It would be the same way here if the game was all around good. The company doesn't matter.

the fastest thing that EA has managed to do was to block this video ....so ilarious and significant

A lot of guys on here work for EA and are paid shills, so you have to take with a grain of salt. Be aware of that.

As far as gameplay goes I tend to agree... The AI imo looks dreadful. Funny how EA put in a copyright claim to block the video. Somehow if it was favourable copyright wouldnt of mattered. Funny how that works.

Hold the phone, I didn't suggest that goaltenders were unimportant, they're at the very least competent even without having the greatest animations in the world, which is what I was referring to. Please don't put words in my mouth.

As for the Show, like I said before, I love the game, but the fact that online for it is out right broken EVERY year and stays broken EVERY year, at some point you'd think the fanbase would call them on it.

I wish i had gotten more of a chance to try online in The Show. I tried one game with a friend in Chicago, and sadly, my garbage internet turned it into a game of watching the start of a windup, followed by "Oh no, the ball is in play..."
