Had a one-handed shot beat the goalie last night only to sit there in the net for about five seconds without the red light going on. Eventually it was knocked back out and play resumed. Nice goal too. =\
Of course the other team won 4-3. EA sucks.

3-on-3 OTP with some random center and goalie. I had all four of our goals including this game-winner. I wanted to pass to my center for the one-timer but I got superbumped twice and the window ran out...whatever.

The spin-o-rama is pretty damned effective when you time it right. If the d-man checks you with your back turned it is hard for them to knock you off the puck. I like to come in on my off-wing and try to goad them into playing the body, or diving in this instance. Sometimes you get it right and sometimes you don't.

Nice videos Chartrand.
Not sure why one of the defenders dove to the ice, completely taking himself out of play.
But yeah, that spin move is evil for defenders like me. Sometimes I tend to trip them as well, with the poke check when they spin on me. =\

Got my legend card at the 150 game mark. Though oddly enough, I feel slower with more stats added. o_o Might just be the servers though. I've been having freezing issues at the online team play menus every so often.
Speaking of online team play, this human goalie made a SICK save. I uploaded it to EASportsWorld too. I can't log into it online though =\ I haven't logged onto that site in over a year so I forgot my pw. I did the "send pw to email" thing 3 times over the course of the this weekend and never got the email.

That's the one! Thanks Chartrand.
The 2 seconds of that highlight reel sure is short. What basically happened was that our team (in pickup) had a 2 on 0 breakaway. The guy on the left wing side got tripped up and it was going to be a penalty shot.
He managed to shoot the puck and it bounced off to the right side. The other forward shot it, and while the goalie was already sprawled out, and the goalie still got a piece of it with his glove. I think I said it in my last post, but he was a human goalie to boot.

Something hilarious happened in my offline BAP the other day.

So I fired a slap shot after making an unnecessary deke. The shot hits Dustin Brown on the back of his ankle I believe. He falls over since he got hit by a puck. The puck however, flies into the net and Brown jumps back up to celebrate.
After that goal though, Brownie was nowhere to be found and it turns out that he got hurt on that play. He's out about 4 weeks because of an ankle injury.

I hate playing against people who don't pokecheck anymore. All they do is abuse the stupid Left Bumper button over.
They need to fix this somehow asap. It's ridiculous to not be able to control the puck for more than 2 seconds when someone taps the LB button in front of you all the time without getting a tripping penalty at all.
Obviously, this is a good way to stop the stupid players who weave in and out like a figure skater. But it's overly frustrating when I'm trying to push the puck up the normal way or even pass it up to a forward. I am having a harder time holding onto the puck for more than 2 seconds because of people abusing this.
That's one huge gripe about online play. People always find new ways to glitch/abuse/cheese.
