PS I think you can do couch coop, I played groups of humans more than I did vs 1. It would certainly be more fun that way
Jumping on playing vs vs a bunch of people who aren't very good isn't going to give you any indication of how difficult it can be to defend online. You need to play good players. Defending vs the AI is mind numbing and boring even on superstar. The AI is trash and hardly pressures at all, just runs away from players and makes stupid play constantly. Being able to defend that is far too easy.
Playing EASHL vs 5 real good players and defense is a very difficult job. Not that it should be easy at all, I really do enjoy the challenge of it but where it gets to be less fun is when you do everything right and get screwed by the game. Pokes that go nowhere, forwards that can't lose the puck no matter what you do, L2 ballerinas.... all this stuff you don't see until you play better players.
Playing D in this game at a high level is not easy and as everything else, some make it look that way but it isn't easy.
Yes, I actually played someone that was good today and found out.
What I don't get is why their comp controlled players go to the right spots on the ice but mine seldom do. Someone mentioned online players have created plays, is there a way to get your wings to go where you want them to go?

Not so much created plays but setting the team settings but this will only help some times as EA doesn't agree but the game never plays the same way game to game. Usually they play to the strategies that you set them to but for the most part thwy just skate around like morons because the AI is so terrible in this game.
