I dont have a clue as to why I bought this game again. For years the series has been glitchy. Loop glitches people use to keep from losing, glitch shot goals, horrible AI defenders and goalies have plagued this game for years. I guess I had heard they revamped the physics of the game and changed it a lot. Yeah, but now its even worse. People are getting shoved into each other all over the ice, the boost pack I bought doesnt work, other people are screaming that their boosts keep falling off, theres still no way to kick an online teammate that is purposely throwing the game youve been playing for 30 min, Human Goalies are walking around at mid ice. EA is good at one thing, their marketing strategy, because I keep buying games based on their commercials. BF3 looked amazing until I played it and realized it wasnt half the game COD is physically. I bought SSX and the best part of that game was the soundtrack. No improvements made on the NHL series for years. They focus too much on realism and not enough on the major things needed in the game to keep people from ruining them. EA received my last dollar until they put a kick vote in thier games. Its unplayable unless you play the club mode with a full 6 man team.
