[Perfect Stu]

See I don't have that problem...if I'm playing with a friend of mine, we don't use cheap goal tactics. We're able to just not do certain things. We shouldn't have to, but the game still was the most realistic representation of hockey I've ever seen.

Oh, and the more I play of Madden 09 the more I appreciate the improvements that were made. Momentum plays a much larger role, you can break out of tackles after a player wraps you up, the running game is difficult but rewards actual skills like patience and vision. It just feels and looks very good. 8.5/10 thus far...
