[quote name='Captain OBVIOU5']Your right on in time Matt, I have played many 1v1 games in league and I always allotted one hour for a two game series.
I can tell right now that i will have the first pick overall in many years to come. I have only scored one goal in seven games, and that was a penalty shot.
More practice and I should be able to hold my own, but right now I feel a little daunted. damn ea, damn goalies.[/QUOTE]
Don't feel bad. Outside of that one weird Play Now game, I haven't scored more than one goal in a game. I feel like I need to retrain myself on how to play. I'm doing things that worked that NHL 12, that may not work in 13. I think I need to take more point shots, use the goalie's anticipation against him (ie. when I have a 2 on 1, hesitate and shoot, rather than just trying to pass for a one timer), etc.
[quote name='Vulcan2422']Hhmm ,playing a little more and I'm not happy. Go full speed then pull the left trigger and you still maintain the speed (glide), all while being very agile going back and forth between the left trigger . Not feeling it right now for some reason cause of it.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, like I said, I think the backskating is going to be the loophole for glitchers. The weird thing is, I don't know that I've seen the AI ever use it. Because of that, I haven't had a chance to try to check somebody while skating backward, to make sure you can actually hit them. I'm just glad the AI is more active with their sticks, as I've seen them poke the puck away a lot...both in the defensive zone and knocking passes away in the neutral zone. Even if there are holes with certain features, if the AI has more skills that they actually use, it should help.
