yeah, chuckie is right, having a good goalie is key. thats one thing we never really thought about regarding the fatas was encouraging peopel to get good at goal. we would only use one when necessary. though this year since there was less activity overall, we have had less 6 person games anyways.

i personally don't like 2 players games as its really glorified versus mode. i much prefer having 4 or 5 real skaters. i am all about manual goalies, but as stated, since so many suck, they can often sway an otherwise fun and competitive game.

i personally believe that EA needs to totally nerf the AI goaltending in EASHL. currently there is no real benefit for most teams to have a manual goalie. the EASHL still caters to teams of 2 that both play forward. however, if the AI goalie is so bad he is going to give up 6 goals, then more teams will start developing goalies. i am sure everyone would freak out, but its best for long term development of the eashl. additionally, they need to work on ways to pick who you play. if you have 6 guys online, you should have the option to only look for other 6 man teams. i believe the algorithm that matches teams takes that into account, but as a team we should be able to select what size teams we want to play.

p.s. - chuckie, it was fun playing your team the other night. good battle.
