    How many goals were scored off the Michigan last year? How many times was it even attempted?
    I don't mind the Michigan being in the game, but it should be more difficult to pull off. Being on a face button is absolutely laughable. Spending time to make more diverse animations for it doesn't make much sense either when there's a plethora of other problems with the game that deal with more substantial areas of the sport. 

  • This is a good example of what sleeveless was saying in an interview recently. If this is a popular opinion there is definitely a devide between the older generation and the kids nowadays. 

    If I'm playing online against someone and they try the Michigan more than once I quit the game. Having one button hip checks, Michigans or any other move that should take skill should be left to the off line players, if thats what the like.

      I don't mind the Michigan since it's so easy to stop. If they're going to waste time doing that instead of setting up a play that has a far higher scoring chance, that's fine with me.

      Hipchecks are absolutely annoying. At least those that use them as their primary form of defense means they have a player constantly out of position. I'll make a pass to an open player while they are still recovering from throwing a hipcheck. Something else to take advantage of.
