So EA's got a highlight reel tool now that you guys can create your own top 5 with currently. This was my attempt.

All my super sweet goals I score online, since I never play offline. But you can't save videos from online games.

Edit: never mind, figured it out.

Here's mine:


Take into account it's all online, and some are from when i played on a EASHL team, hence the jerseys.

only if its at the end of the game you can save replays online. even the ones they call top hilites can be saved!

Yeah I just found this out...scored a beauty of a breakaway hat trick goal with Jokinen...wanted to save it but couldn't. Probably one of the nicer goals ive scored in the game too.

God I hate cheese/soft goals. I had a guy play as the Pens and score on me when I bumped Boucher off the puck and the thing rolled through Kipper's legs. He then scored with a Malkin wrist shot that looked like he hit it with his purse. I ended up losing 4-3 in a shootout when he cheesed his way to two more goals.

Shots were 37-17 for me. I dominated the faceoffs and passing % and yet this happens. Garbage.

This is why I stopped playing ranked vs games. I would outshoot everyone by 20+ shots every game, but they would always win on that goal, or stupid cheese goals. This is impossible to stop, the wraparound slapshot was possible to stop. EA really screwed up with the update, I won't comment on the penalties anymore except they are ######ed and wrong nearly everytime. I play hockey EA, that is NOT interference.

its soo frustrating now, i dont play live, just cpu

i dont play dirty or all but for every powerplay, i have like 5 penalties and then the worst part is:

no matter how good of chances i struggle to score

and then the cpu gets easy weak a** goals, like the guy has the puck on his stick in front of goalie, 5 seconds later its in because goalie doesnt cover it up

my goalie gives up huge rebound right to them, or the guy walks in, gets hit and its in, or whatever weak goal possibility there is...

its frustrating to play as i get like 10 minutes of attack, they get 5, and i struggle to win

Oh my god! Same here, since my team was totally oblivious to defence I had to make 5 breakaway saves that game (I let 1 one in). But one of mine was so sick, he was coming straight down the middle, and I did the RB+LB thing where you go really low down and spread the legs. I did it right as he shot and gloved it. Easily my best save/coolest looking save I have ever done. I was so angry I couldn't save the replay.

I do this save all the time one breakaways, mostly because people will deke at the last minute/don't expect it. Works about 80% of the time. Love that save.

[CMPunk]

Wow...I got a 5 minute Major for Boarding...I didn't even know that was possible

[sclitheroe]

I did something I've never seen before - I took a booming slapshot from the point, and nailed a guy's defender, who crumpled to the ice and lay there for the duration of my 5-3 power play, reducing buddy to two skaters on the ice.

I eventually skated around the dead player and scored on a wraparound, and the fluke injury combined with what I consider a relatively cheesy goal was enough to make the guy quit on me.

I never ever quit, but I played some guy the other day and he kept scoring on the same wrap around type play. He got about 4 goals that were identical in half a game. He wouldn't even try shooting any other way. It pissed me off so bad I had no choice but to quit or smash my tv and xbox. I thought EA got rid of all the cheap goals?

Bizarre. Did he just never gain possession of the puck?

No, I kept possession in his zone the whole time

Should have pulled the goalie as well and made it 6 on 3....

I have found a pretty good way of defending on these...when you play a guy who is obviously intent on scoring the wraparound goals, you park yourself in front of your goalie and hold down the vision control button. You will stay facing the puck (so looking behind your net) and can then poke check him as he comes around either side of the net. Don't switch defenders, never chase them, just stick in front of your net.

What you'll find is they have no other game plan in your zone, and will spend all their time zipping from side to side behind your net trying to goad you into coming after them. I've had guys literally squander half a power play trying to force the issue even though its obvious that I won't bite. Even if they do pass out to the point, stick with your player in front of the net for when they inevitable pass back down to the corner looking to try the wraparound again.

That's how I beat cheese players with rankings 15-25 levels above me.

Its an incredibly cheap move but its pretty much a delayed penalty since you know they're going to blow the whistle the moment the other team touches the puck.
