Thanks
Thanks Rickie and John.
Good to know I am not alone in my pain. I have just played 3 games of BAP in a row where the opposition scored on the first goal of the game. In one game, my goalie let in 5 goals on the first 13 shots, and 6 in the first 20! I was -5 by the end of a 6-1 loss! I'm sure this happens from time to time, but as I mentioned earlier, the opposition goalies are superhuman, and my goalies are...well...not much. For someone who is trying hard to play defensive hockey (even as a Sniper) it sucks I am penalized so much for having a pathetic goalie. I find myself saying at the tv 'you made a save! Good boy!!!' I just don't think these kids would be playing (for long) in any league if they had a .500SP..if that!
The building blocks are there, but EA just seems to want to leave them in a pile instead of constructing something lasting. I guess as long as idiots like myself will shell out money every year for the new version, why bother? The other side being: if everyone stopped buying the game, EA would think 'this isn't selling, why are we bothering?' and they would pull the plug, and then there would be nothing. I doubt another company would pick it up...so the end gamer will always lose. It's up to EA to pick up their game without having us gamers *****. They have to WANT to produce an awesome game. Sadly, I don't think it's going to happen.
