Damn Finally beat Darlon, but I couldnt do it with my home town flyers and their SEVERELY UNDERRATED goaltending in this game, and had to use the sharks. their average goalies are still better (in the game) than the swiss cheese that EA makes Bobrovski and Boucher out to be.

I LOVE how NHL 11 the goalies are not super human any longer. I have had mutliple 4 to 5 goal games in the last couple days.

Yeah but the flyers goalies tend to let in some soft ones, and goalie AI in general is pretty bad. When I take the passing lane on a 2 on 1 the goalie should shut doown the near corner. this almost never happens if the player coming down the wing with the puck throws a slight fake toward the slot with a backhand deke then pulls it forehand topshelf every time. its annoying because the goalie should allow the defenseman who is in positin handle anything coming to the slot and only worry about not getting beat nearside. If a guy is skilled enough to hit the wide angle shot to the far post, so be it. its a hell of a shot and I tip my cap, but when someone beats me nearside in this situation i just feel like i got beat by a move that really had no business going in if the goalie ai followed simple hockey logic.

case in point i played syngin23 and played as a goalie he couldnt score on me unless he got the pass through trying that move on the 2 on 1 didnt work because i trusted the defenseman to make the play if the pass came. unfortunately i dont have 4 hands and control over everything at once because the defenseman let the pass through too many times for my liking.

Agree! Excellent point on Goalie logic. I agree it needs to be looked into. But I will take this over last years matrix goalies.

Me and my cousin had a excellent game of NHL 11 last night.

Predators(me) vs Blackhawks(him)

We started the first period and he quickly scored a goal dekeing the goalie and slamming it top shelf. Then the very next faceoff he makes a nice through pass and catches my defenders with not enough momentum to get back in time. Beating the goalie with a lovely backhand.

2-0 Blackhawks

Then the most of the 1st period was spent at mid ice banging for the puck. It was not until a min left in the first did he beat my goalie pad height off the post to take a huge lead going into the second period.

3-0 Blackhawks

Second period started and my Predators came out ready to come back quickly slamming two in back the net making it 3-2 Blackhawks still in lead.

Then the Blackhawks had multiple power plays and managed to score on two making it 5-2 with little under 2 mins left in the second period.

I then manage to put one more in back the net before the 3rd on a beautiful realistic looking goal. The puck was getting deflected down the middle of the ice with no one able to gain control of it, then it bounced off a skate and the goalie was forced to diving reaching for it. He missed it and I had a winger come ripping around the back the net at the perfect time to scoop it up and score on a pretty wrap around goal as the goalie was left trying to recover from the dive.

End of the 2nd - Blackhawks up 5-3

The 3rd period began and it was a completely different game. Players were slowing down from fatigue and the offensive nature quickly turned into a defensive matchup.

It was not until mid way in the 3rd did I manage to draw it a little closer on a powerplay goal.

5-4 Blackhawks up.

Then with :50 secs left in the 3rd, I scored on a beautiful pad height wrister that the goalie just barely missed. Ohhhhhhh mannnnnnn what a come back. We are headed to OVER TIME!!!!

5-5 Over time Blackhawks vs Predators.

Overtime was more of the same defensive match up with resulted in us going into a shoot out. After like 5 men trying to beat the goalie to end the game. I managed to RIPPPPPPP the back the net with a gutsy slap shot from right past the blue line.....beating the goalie and winning one hell of a game.

6-5 Predators WIN!!!!

Hell yea we do. I just got my ass stomped last night 5-1. My guys could not control the puck without every little bump knocking them off. Going 0-6 on powerplays did not help either.

I LOVE NHL 11
