Anyone find it annoying that if you stack up your players ala the trap at your blue line, the oppositiion will literally skate in the neutral zone for 5+ minutes. Also on hardcore you cant pass on the fly, every player seems to feel the need to stop skating to take the pass, even if it is right at them. Plus, the hardcore passing is really inconsistent. Almost to the point of annoyance. You hold the pass button longer for a hard pass, but after holding it for more than 2 seconds (incase your teammate has moved positions) it just throws the pass away.
May take some more getting used to, but scoring a goal in hardcore is EXTREMELY difficult, almost to the point that you just have to fire it at the net and hope the goalie messes up.
PS. also really lame, Jokinen, Langkow, Sarich have less of tradability than Backlund, Ryder, Ryley Armstrong, John Armstrong, Pelech? ORLY!?
