NHL 18

NHL 18 is a piece of garbage, I really hope EA figures out how to make this game correctly because I love hockey but the game is straight up trash. I’m getting matched up with people who have 10x better players than me so it’s obvious who’s gonna win the match, I’m not gonna spend hundreds of dollars just so I can get players good enough when I already spent $60 for the game, the goalies let in some of the dumbest goals, you literally skate from hash left to right and shoot to the opposite side and it’s an automatic goal every time, it takes no skill. I will not buy another EA game because this game has made me lose all faith in them. Rant over.

    You can stop those shots with better defense. Make sure you're controlling your defenders. If you let the AI control them, good players will know how to get around them and take this shot. It's pretty successful, but not guaranteed by any means. We all face these guys. Learning how to defend it is key. Cover the tops of the circles better. Don't chase for hits. Try using the puck side attack strategy also.
