i think a lot of it depends on what mode people play. i have found online versus games pretty dull because it feels so nerfed compared to playing eashl. i find that mode most rewarding as you have to play smartest as you can't just take stupid chances and then change guys when it doesn't work. it challenges you to play good hockey. additionally, the speed and other settings seems to be set up a bit better in that mode. but maybe i am just imagining things. for offline GM mode players, the ability to tweak so many settings really makes it a game where you can have it play the way you want. obviously you can't make up for all the AI shortcomings, but you can often tweak the settings to minimize a lot of issues. i think the biggest problem with online is that people are ######bags. they exploit and cheat as much as possible. and that it what really ruins the game. one thing EA i think should do in regards to the EASHL gameplay, is to make computer goalies considerably worse. the game should reward teams that use a manual goalie. right now, there is still a pretty small amount of teams that use a manual goalie if they don't have 6 people. i think if you make the AI goalie poor in EASHL, it will encourage humans to pick goalie more often. that has 2 benefits: it encourages people to play goal and they will get better at it, and it makes exploits less of a problem as you can't really exploit a human.
