Follow-up and a Challenge to Cheesers, Exploiters, and even EA itself

I am back again with a follow-up to my previous post on the forum. I also posted it verbatim over on the Reddit forums. It has gotten a LOT of interest and discussion over there. However, I would not...

@TTZ_Dipsy So your only video defense is the time one team trolled another for the way they set up the 1-3-1?

Show me videos of ANY of the guys you mentioned holding the puck during 5 on 5 play for a minute at a time. Or 30 seconds. Or even 15 seconds. Show me how they skate back and forth along the boards. Over and over. Show me how no player can bump them off the puck while doing so. Show me.

I am not antagonizing. I am asking that EA and the cheesers and exploiters prove to me that how they play and how the game currently runs is similar to REAL hockey.

Yes, cross crease one timers in REAL hockey are deadly. Sure, awesome snipes are great and score. But when they are merely used and encouraged in the video game as mechanical and animation EXPLOITS to score because the cheesers and exploiters can't play SIMULATED hockey, it makes the game a laughable mess.

So again... Show ME how all that stuff happens multiple times a game in a REAL NHL game. Show me how many times cross crease passes get through multiple defenders, even the 7th D and call-ups. Show me how it happens REPEATEDLY in the SAME WAY over and over again in the SAME GAME.

I dare you.

How about you do the reverse and lead by example.

Show the people here footage of you playing a full game of "real" hockey.

    @JubeiDOK Yeah, that makes total sense. Why not watch some actual NHL games for reference, seeing as the game is meant to be an accurate representation of THAT?

    Seems to be the proper comparison to me. Or should all the alleged simulated sports games look like people playing backyard flag football, beer league softball, hitting golf balls at a driving range, playing tennis at a park, and so on? Is THAT how you want your "It's In the game!" to look and play? Or would you prefer it... you know... play like the professional equivalent it claims to be?

    Make a better argument than that if you want to be an EA apologist.

      I'm sorry you took that comment as hostile.

      But I don't think it's really fair to ask others to supply footage of their play if you're not willing to do the same.

      I've played this game for many years and I've heard the same song about "sim" hockey year after year, but when you play games with these people they don't even understand how to skate in the game yet.

      All I'm really saying, is there are a lot of different people out there, all playing what they think is real hockey and their views don't always match up.

      So it will be easier for people to understand what you mean if you show them how you play.

        This seems fair
