Crosscreasefest

Ok, I quit, Ive had enough. 9 out of 10 games are literally a crosscreasefest, people try crosscrease literally on EVERY attack. If i stand in front of the goal, they still try it. Again, again and again. Its just to easy to score this way, the easiest way. I havent seen the wrist shot gitchgoal like for a week, its also easy, but crosscrease is easier :D Pathetic. This game is dead. Its just about who scores more crosscrease goals.

    Hi there, @Losoun 

    Instead of just standing in the crease, try stopping that pass before it happens. Go after the carrier. You already know where they're going so you can hit, stick lift, poke or use incidental contact. You can also drop to a knee or dive. Another option is to shove the intended receiver. 

  • I already gave up and will wait for NHL 25, hope the defense will get better. Its just annoying and boring trying to defend the same again and again in every game, no fun at all, especially when the crosscrease will sooner or later go through no matter what. BUt thanks for your reply and welcome back 🙂

    @llamaverox I actually am giving up on playing, my goalie has let in the first shot of the game for the past 7 games I've played, not just cross creases but bad angle shots that go through the five hole or declections it's just too frustrating to play at times.

    @llamaverox lol our new motto when we play is "ah crap now we got to score 6 goals if we want a chance at winning."
    For the cross crease we see it a lot as well and as our Center I have adjusted to have our winger press the puck carrier while I and the other winger cover the cross crease and tip shots. Defense is isn't all bad if you position your self and not over pursue or they will skate right around you.

    @llamaverox Yes totally agree. This game just rewards players tooo much whos just shoot shoot and shoot. I wish this game would have more hockey iq to make goals and plays. Not like this that u shoot all the time and make forces.
