This is how I feel that you said that as I type faster than I think

now that ive played more.
the obvious flaws for me is the bad cpu ai in front of the net and how easy they let you enter the neutral zone and offensive zone.

i play on superstar and i cant find a way to get the cpu to keep possesion and even up shot totals to me.

goalies need a rehaul. you have to increase their speed or else you score 6 goals a game on them in 8 min periods.

puck physics really are amazing.

i do love how the shots are this year. and how they made the puck move while in the net.
i scored on a slot snapshot from stamkos. low blocker. and i love how the puck whipped around the net. looked amazing.

This is what's going to kill it again for me this year.
I just cannot take how my AI controlled teammates are complete robot IDIOTS on defense...
....and how a few ballet on ice moves will get you right into the offensive zone on the other side.

That aside....there are some good advances as well....puck physics seem killer.....and the default speed of the game although it seems the same as last year...it somehow feels better this year.
I used to crank skating speed down.
I haven't even really looked at sliders this year yet.

But they have to ramp up the A.I. for the on ice play. It's terrible.

Heres two of my games last night boys and the stats dont lie as they were real and spectacular on 8 min periods on Allstar near default slider so maybe some of the people with different results is a user or Hockey IQ issue as its also a real hu interactive game and not a sim you can just watch unfold

I was the Avs and Hawks and I actually had two more games but my screen boxscores didnt save properly and this is how most of my games are even with the tilted Ice factor .

In the Hawks game The Kings played just like the kings and were on me all game really realistic but Craw stood on his Head in the 1st and 3rd periods but I also played Excellent positional D and didnt screen or chase the offense and Shaw got two grinder goals .

The Avs game I was off stride and couldnt get much going offensively just a real sloppy and violent game and minny got a ENG to end it as I just couldnt control the tilted Ice .

I wonder if they could or would do a 1080p patch. Looking at the 1080p screenshots in the playstation store is depressing.

You know another thing I really like and I have fighting at 2 is when I have the tilted ice advantage the cpu tries to start a fight to get it back but its normally their best fighter so I wait for a good matchup.

Gotta hold that Ice boys huge part of this game and it looks like to me its also harder to win on the road this year very nice realistic touch I mean this game really needs a little things thread and I love the signs by the penalty box the fans hold taunting the player in the bin .

Really like how each arena looks very close to the real ones and to my knowledge Chicken Parm is even in the right spot doing on Ice analysis but I still wish the replay camera went up to the rafters for a free roam view .

To the fans of each Arena they know is yours pretty accurate ? The Detail is really incredible but is it correct for the most part ?

What is this tilted ice stuff you all keep talking about?

Im sure others can explain it better but its how the game is programmed through Intimidation , fighting and big hits , when you kill off a penalty ect the momentum swings from one team or the other bu its blended very well this year and you will also here the announcers mention and talk about it .

It used to be real noticeable years ago when it happened as it messed up your skating and lessened your players skill if they were intimated .

Oh and you can see it effect the lines with boost right after a fight ( its a visual little green bars on lines change )
