How do you not see the other team constantly missing hits, mashing poke check and generally chasing the puck carrier?
I see a team completely owning the puck. Defensively, you've got players all over the ice, chasing the puck carrier but also being incredibly passive in other moments when they shouldn't be.
This is also HUT. Attributes are all over the place, synergies on top of that.. it's a mode that doesn't lend itself to real hockey plays at all. If you're playing HUT for a 'real hockey' experience, you're ALWAYS going to be disappointed. always.
The guy he is playing against is a top 5 NHL player in the world, and it is D1 rivals, so he must know the game pretty well and be decent at it, maybe this is how you have to play defense to be competitive at higher levels. I guess you could play better defense against EKI? You would lose to him by less than 2 goals? I would love to see that!
Okay? My point still stands.
Has to be some kind of record.
Congrats to a well written post a lot of people seem to relate to.
