This isn't any Joe Schmoe we're using either, it's guys like Shane Doan and Joe Sakic. I get really frustrated when playing against another human player and their goalie stones me every single time.
I also tend to hit iron ridiculously often too. In fact, I think I've hit iron at least 3x as much as I've scored. Most of my goals have been junk goals (poke check the goalie or wacky deflections) but none of them nice blistering shots or even dekes for that matter.
I don't have the 360 at home (it's at a friends place) so I don't get much chance to practice if at all. |
It's about timing bro. It is a bit of a challenge but they made the goalies more reactive and smarter to provide a more fluid game. It is frustrating at times but it makes hockey more life-like. Play the goalies in the lower leagues and you'll see they are far easier to beat.
It's tough to deke in this game but once you master the new 5 / 7 o'clock offensive stick moves, you're going to score a lot more on dekes.
