  2. The A button is a big part of the game. I heavily disagree that it is a "spirit" penalty, and I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks about using the A button on defense.

    Oh I do. But if the guy is Roenick, Gilmour, Fleury, Yzerman, etc? Sometimes I'll use the A button on them, since it doens't usually result in a penalty.. but at the same time, using the A button is essentially a penalty in spirit, so it's a cheap counter. The B button can knock them down, too, but it's also a penalty (tripping.. or roughing of the nads) in spirit.

    Overall, I just think it's a move that makes for a boring game. Yes, you can counter it by clogging the slot or using goalie control, but it's still cheap. The game turns into a trapfest, as you have to get back and clog clog clog! It's dull and I don't enjoy playing those guys. I lost like 20-30 games straight to Backhandfloater and tk11 but kept playing because they each play a fun, fast game.

    Haha.. good passing.. what the heck was I talking about.. my passing is typically 45% (though i went 2/21 (9%) over 2 periods recently with Detroit). I make a lot of risky passes. But that's fun. I put a pass through FOUR players a couple days ago -- it ticked off one guy's stick and bounced through the crowd over to a streaking Curtis Leschyshyn who slapped a one-timer in out of midair to win the game.. hilarious goal. But I was on the last save slot so couldn't save the replay B)

  3. Calling the skate-across goal "cheap" is an excuse for poor defense. You should have your defensemen positioned so that someone cannot score on you like that.

    And... if you are good with manual goalie, you will be able to stop this scoring chance as well. I don't believe there are any cheap goals in NHL94.

    "Cheap" is complaining about a shot that is very simple to stop with manual goalie.
  4. I have beat Tickenest twice out of 2 games. I have beat kgman. Does this make me the best player in the universe?

    Yes. If you are all drunk when I play you. Gin and tonics for everyone.

    But really... kgman is good, and he is confident about his playing abilities (i.e. cocky), but he has flaws in his game like everyone else that just need to be taken advantage of. I don't think there is anyone in this league that stands out above the rest (although Calgary is scary... take a calculator and figure out his GAA), it is all about matchups.
