Players run wild around on the ice, without orientation and mind, let opponent simply are so free in front of goal, just behave fundamentally inept. One can halt unfortunately control only one player himself. Tactical understanding of the players therefore nil. Now and then a player runs then simply times a puck past, the next does not want to shoot. Then running at every perceived second attack a teammate unnecessarily too early in the opposing third. Away! Attack over! If enemy attacks you try again half an eternity to be able to control the player, you would now need so much, until one finally has virtually missed the opportunity to clarify the situation.
Forechecking and try not to let the enemy come from the third (as in real hockey stop) you can forget it because the teammates it also does not have the tactical intelligence and you only travels in a counterattack. Better to all man back! Thus, although no team plays in real life, but what can you do. Surprised it is then, however, that in turn can operate the player likewise PS3gesteuerten opponent forechecking partly to perfection and you have to be very skilled to tackle the. The players, however, have to use their own comically to nothing that annoys ungeheim. And you can adjust his team as you want, you can run no reasonable forechecking. Generally, when the game is still far too much up to chance, a single durchgestöbsel and press.
Then, as if that was not annoying enough all one, there are perceived 20 times in a game over and over again those pesky brawls, although you just do not fancy it has.
If you want to score a goal there for this 2-3 good ways to do that, but just also EA could safely leave a bit more options and creativity of the player. But you can still score goals, to win logically also often, but not fun the game. As well as the good graphics will not help.
