Playlist of Bad Goals (one night of playing)
I threw together a playlist of awful goals that occur in one night of playing. It's frustrating enough all the sweaty players that play this game and the barrier to entry being so high with how complex the controls are, to have this many defensemen and goalie own-goals is unacceptable. I included goals for and against to show that I am not just biased toward goals that go against me. It happens to my opponents as well.

This game is a frustrating mess. You broke my favorite mode (WoC) with painfully slow menu load times to 30+ minute matchmaking+game times, so I tried this mode. I thought CHEL drop-ins were frustrating, but this takes the cake. From computer controlled players not pursuing pucks that are a few feet away, to them purposefully slowing down or not choosing to go back door on the rush (even using crash the net strategy), to them skating into the puck when you try to kick a pass to them on the boards which result in the puck turning over, the "difficulty" seems artificially imposed by bad AI decisions. For the love of gawd why is it that when you skate into one of your own players do you both get stuck skating in place rather than glancing off each other and continuing forward? Why? That doesn't make any sense.
