I am almost thinking we should get two or three games going at once, rather then 5 or 6 human players on the ice at once, when we have that many players online.

Most of the times I've played with the team, we're against 2 or 3 human opponents, meaning other other 3 or 4 guys are computer (ie not running around chasing the puck as much, and always in good defensive positions) players on the other team...which allows the human guys on the opposition team to play forward positions and play a very similar style to what most human players play on there....but they have the back up of computer controlled defenders when they lose the puck or are in their own zone, of whom they can also demand passes (and shots) from, which also helps in breakouts and offensively.

Offensively, more paitence is needed, most computer teams play a faily passive box, its just proper passing and proper moves to the slot to get good shots.

Defensively, yeah, having computer controlled players helps keep some structure back there, especially when there's a loose puck..usually 3 of our guys go after it (just nature from playing offline, BAP)...if we don't get it, we're caught short.
