I think RT when you don't have the puck is the call for the pass botton.

I haven't seen a clean shot scored from the point yet on an AI goalie.

But deflection goals seem to be pretty easy to create if you just square up to the puck when it's shot by holding the left trigger. It might help that I am playing grinder, which is supposed to have high deflection rating.

So is that it, did they fix the work around? I got 3 of my friends to sign up but I haven't been able to download it yet. F.

Getting this as well. Anybody know a fix?

The AI goalie are fine. It's the human goalie that are royally screwed. They AI goalie do offer a respectable amount of challenge but not are not unbeatable. You can still roof the puck on the blocker side but since they change the shooting accuracy, it's harder to execute. What I didn't like is a human goalie can get out of his crest and block the opposite team from getting the puck without being call an interference.

Overall, I think the game is improved (beside human goalie) and it's going to be a fun game to play online.

There is still no situational awareness by the AI. And no comprehension of the clock. You have to adjust strategies on the fly for different situations or they will just do whatever they are originally programmed to. It is not easy to adjust strategies on the fly in this game.

And what is with the god forsaken cpu dman pinning themselves on their own boards behind the net?! This is like the 5th year in a row with this bs. In what world would anyone ever willingly trap themselves in a way that they couldn't move the puck effectively in their own zone?

How are these things not brought up in game changers meetings and adjusted at some point? 5 years now!

And I hate watching the game from the penalty box. Give us the option to watch it overhead or from a regular camera. If I'm not playing with a first person camera then I shouldn't be subjected to a different camera when not on the ice.

We played with some OS guys last night and I promised I would embarrassed Nat3Dawg with his goalie skill

It's alright Nate. You are good defenseman.

This is clearly what's happening. But I hate that it's even an option. I don't know if it's a possibility, but if there could be a goalie halo that would be very helpful.

So let's say your CPU goalie covers the puck but has an opponent in front of them (in the halo), no matter how many times someone requests a pass it won't allow the pass.

Doubt that will happen, just an idea.
