Sorry I missed you guys last night went out with some buddies and the woman told me people kept bugging her to play hockey when she was playing singstar with her friends LOL.
I will be on tonite as well.
And I agree 100% about the positions. Merc is one of my favorites to play with because I know coming out of the zone he wont be standing beside another forward; but actually be on his side and open(and not at the other teams blue line). If I had a nickel for every time i went to pass out of the zone and both the wingers are on the same side or both wingers are standing out front of our own net I would have a load of nickels.
A few things that I notice when things start going bad:
The pass to the middle move only works when there is a human defenseman there, the computer just gobbles it up.
A defenseman turning back to "setup" when we rush out of the zone always results in a turn over as it gives the other team time to cover us. If this is your plan dump the puck instead it will yield better results.
Rebounds come from the pads, Merc and Spike do this great, they shoot low understanding that a rebound is an easy goal.
The puck moves faster then anyone can skate, making a forward stop at the blue line and wait while the other player skates from his blue line is counter productive.
Yellow tends to be the cause of most goals.
We turn the puck over when pressured heavy yet when we play we all try to intercept the pass instead of trying to attack the puck carrier.
We need to learn how to do the glitch goals so when we run into those crap teams we can do it right back. I suck too bad for this to be me, i prefer to get hit walking into the zone
