Why does my team ignore the puck?

[kerosene31]

It bounces near their stick... they ignore it.

Passes go by their skates... they ignore it.

Pucks sit in the goal crease... they ignore it.

Players with the puck skate by... ignored.

I'm sick of losing games because my teammates have no puck awareness.

The CPU team is a hawk on the puck. Why can't my team even acknowledge the puck exists?

I just smashed a controller in two pieces. Seriously.

A cross crease pass went right through my d-man's skates. Before that, all 4 players went to the blueline on a pk and let the other team have a 3-0.

I'm so tired of being in perfect position and losing battles. What is the secret of this game? I can't possibly switch players fast enough to fix every situation. I need the CPU to do something positive once in awhile.

[eeyor]

this is something that bothered me for years, sometimes it seems like my player is standing 1 feet away from the puck but doesn't intend to pick it up...so a player from the other team comes takes it and has a break...

Those things are too expensive to be destroying...LOL

Try slamming the side of the chair or something, it's cheaper

Yeah, it does get frustrating playing OTP games and having things like this happen

Wait, vs. play?

Then you have to realize that your CPU mates do it just to make you angry.

Really though, they just like hearing you scream at the TV and scare the neighbors.

wouldn't a simple "awareness" slider help with this issue?

Pretty such I've done that a time or two playing this dang game.

Player control seems to switch fast enough for me when I pass to a teammate, so I don't know. I'm also someone who is happy that CPU teammates don't do things like auto-pass and auto-shoot. I prefer controlling my players and their actions.
