[quote name='DestroVega']^ I don't know, I've only played about 25 OTP games, but it's way better than at the begining of last year's game. They will patch some stuff sooner than later, and it'll be even more refined.
Second, I saw a team that went 41-35 and was ranked 566 or something, and they got a bronze... we can definitely pull that off, we went on a tear for a week winning games. It's definitely not out of the question.
I do agree though, playing 6 on 6 against each other was a lot of fun. I'd even be open to doing something where we play OTP one week vs. random teams, next week all of us against each other, and switch every week. I dunno.
I just wouldn't get too frustrated just yet... it's not like MLB 09 where they did nothing to improve your online experience... EA is at least trying, in my opinion[/QUOTE]
I've played about 65 OTP games. Alan (moojuice) has played close to 100. He pointed out the "deke, curve shot" glitch to me, and then we ran into a few teams who used it exclusively. I'm just saying, as it becomes more known, it will get worse. I'm holding out hope that last Friday was an anomaly, but we've won 3 out of our last 28 games.
Another Friday like that, and we might as well pack it in. The cross crease still being an issue is bad enough (although tolerable). When you throw guaranteed glitch shots on top of it, it's just miserable. I love the competitiveness of playing against other clubs in EASHL, but when EA allows them to cheat, it becomes a "Who Can Be The Biggest Dick" contest. We actually even started trying to glitch to get back at the team, and that's just a shitty way to play.
Also, I haven't read anything about a patch for this year (although I haven't really looked either). But with no blatant 99 glitch, I wonder if EA would feel the need for one. It just blows my mind that there are holes in the programming where if you just do a certain move, it renders the goalie incapable.
Either way, I'm just putting these ideas out there. It's not that I'm all about winning, and don't enjoy just getting together and laughing with fellow CAGs. But when your goalie allows 3 goals on the first 6 shots in the 1st period, it kinda sucks the fun out of the game pretty damn quick.
