[quote name='moojuice']It's just so messed up...with an A.I goalie, people were just blasting shots clean past our goalie. He would watch a guy skate with the puck, wind up for a shoot, and just watch as the shot zipped over his shoulder or just blasted past his side. Playing goalie, minus the shitty goals during my warm up games, *cough* , I was a rebound giving machine. I stopped mostly all the breakaways, gave up 2 or three cross creases all night, stopped all the wraparounds, but still managed to give up 5 goals a game. Ironically, that is just as good as an A.I goalie, only when I am in goal, our team likes to score on ourselves

Yeah, this is exactly what I was going to say. Not only could we not win a game, but we couldn't win for losing either. When the AI was in net, he'd just "miss" pucks that were hit seemingly right at him. And when you were in net, you would block their laser shots, but the rebounds were fatter than the new Jessica Simpson.
Even with me 99 glitching, it doesn't matter because even I'm not fast enough to make up for the 5 guys on the other team who are doing it. The online play in this game has gotten to a point where everyone on the team HAS to 99 glitch, LB glitch, and be 5'7" 155lbs to stand a chance. I think we ran across one team all night who didn't abuse glitches...and that was the game Destro fell asleep during (I was yelling "wake up!" into my mic), which resulted in an all game penalty kill and something like a 4-2 loss.
As moojuice mentioned, these red-headed stepchild beatings led us to thinking about splitting the CAG team up and just playing against each other each week so we'd be guaranteed fair play and a good time. Obviously, I'd reset my stats so I wouldn't be 99 glitching anymore. We joked about "drug testing" the CAG team to make sure nobody was "juicing", basically by taking a screen shot of your stats. Ultimately, this led to jokes about having a friend take a screen shot for you, or even purchasing a screen shot on the internet, haha.
As far as I know (thanks to moojuice's brainstorming), the only way to get it to work would be to go to the online team play community, set up a private game, and then invite people to it. You then just choose your side and play as normal. You still get to use your created skater, but the teams would be just the normal teams, so no stat tracking there.
I've tried researching if there's any possible way to do it within actual club play, and the only response I've gotten is to make sure the captains of each club have the same rating, and you'll have a higher chance of being matched up randomly. It's kinda sad that that's the best method EA has. You'd think a "Challenge Club" option would be great, but at least we can still do the private game thing.
Anyway, what does everybody think of this? Honestly, it may not even be very necessary for long depending on when the next patch comes, and how effective it is. It's just at a point where you can't even enjoy hitting/lying on the ice/fighting even when you're losing because the other team is so fast they can skate circles around you and STILL glitch goal anyway. At least this way, we can have a good time, knowing that your opponents aren't trying to bend you over the penalty box like Miss America...well, unless you're Gary
Speaking of which...
Oh, and also...
(you have no idea how many upskirt shots of Emma Watson and Paris Hilton I had to go through before finally finding a decent pair of jeans) :lol:
ing carpal tunnel or something. It got progressively worse after the 2nd game started, and I just couldn't do shit.
