I haven't played too many game online against people that I don't know personally yet. Anyways, here are a few rants I have with the game.
The games I have played, about 1/3 have been wins I deserved, 1/3 loses, and 1/3 wins that I deserved, but got due to people quitting early.
I was originally sending these people messages telling them that I still get the win, and they are just screwing up their DNF rating.
It still gets frustrating when people leave, it's almost to the point where I figure I should let up on an opponent if I get a decent lead just so they don't get bored and quit.
Sometimes when they leave it screws up my system too where i have to either turn the machine fully off or only the middle xbox button works. Anyone encounter this?
The other thing I dislike is people that dive all the time. I understand dropping to block a shot from the point or something. Also rushing back to stop a pass across the crease (i.e. dives that would actually happen during a regular game) I hate when people are just diving all over the place to block ordinary passes, working like a poke check, or just so you can't skate in that direction.
Also I like how you can push a lil after whistles. I do this periodically to try and get momentum my way (I try to do it only when I think it would happen in an actual game). I've encountered a few people that push every whistle. My team always seems to push back no matter what, and they take 2 off each time instead of giving me a deserved PP.
Lastly an issue I have with the game is when the other team gets the puck and the guy just stands still. Normally what happens is a computer controlled player of mine goes and tries to stick lift the guy unsuccessfully, leading to a PP for the other team. So cheese.
