Hockey All Stars 12+

UPDATE: AND there he is AGAIN… ROMSAR!!! For the third week in a row like clockwork on pace for his usual 15,800. If you don’t promote, it must be broke… or rigged to ensure those 1000 pucks stay in house. #STOPTHECHEAT

Been playing 3 years so obviously I love it. Sure a few improvements would be nice… fights, instant replay, in-game subs but mostly SHOOTOUT PRACTICE!!! Can’t stress that one enough. Or change the format cuz there is SO MUCH WRONG with coming off the bench to play goalie and not seeing the shot before having to choose where to cover. But the online tournament? Did a recent update include ‘make tourney impossible to win’ patch? Cuz NO WAY first place ALWAYS gets over FIFTEEN THOUSAND every week and a 7k point gap over the next closest team! Oh, and this week it’s the exact same guy as last week. Seems like he shoulda been promoted but there he is… playing over 120 games for the 2nd week in a row. That’s almost 15 seasons of games per week. By a guy who shouldn’t even still be in Legend Tier 5 League anymore. Even carnies know “they won’t play if they don’t think they can win”. You wanna kick my dog and sleep with my wife too?

It’s a fun game, you can shuffle the player lines, you can upgrade them to the next tier, but they won’t get better on their own, you have to upgrade them. At first, the opposition will make mistakes over and over again. But in the late game, your team will be the one making mistakes. But it’s not on you, it’s the computers controlling the rest of the team. The computers never defend when needed, they stand flatfooted at the far blue line. Whenever we need to be offensive, they are hanging back at your GOAL line. The computers need to be fixed.

Penalties get called way too often on your own team. They get called for charging, and checking from behind. The checking from behind was programmed very simple, but half the time the computer just turns around right when you’re about to hit them. The charging penalties are a lot harder to program, but they appear almost every time you check in front of the other teams net trying to get on the rebound. It sometimes seems like a just take a shot, and the goalie runs out of the other teams net and immediately runs off for a delayed penalty. Other moments where charging penalties happen is when you run up and hit someone, which is charging, and when you are skating back into your zone when the other team has the puck, and you give them a good clean check. These are the problems with penalties.

I play ice hockey in a girls and boys league (girl) and I LOVE the sport so I obviously check the app store a lot for some fun hockey games. I have tested, played and compared a lot of these hockey games on the app store and I LOVE some of them and other are well alright. I would say this is one of the alright category games. Overall it’s pretty fun but there are a few things I wish were updated. First of all, I wish that you had to be drafted to be able to be on a team me personally I think that would be awesome so that you didn’t get to pick. I wish you didn’t get to pick so that you don’t accidentally choose a lower league team then the NHL. I didn’t know that you could choose any team so being a Floridian I went with our local ECHL hockey team (Florida Everblades) thinking that maybe I would be drafted to an NHL team.
Nope that most definitely didn’t happen, another thing is that some people say they love the jokes that the announcers make but I can’t hear anything in this game. It’s not just this game in football games or other hockey games I can hear ever word loud and clear but loud and clear isn’t the case here. If I can’t hear at all and i’d love to hear a good joke i’m most likely deleting the app.

Thanks for your time,
Have a wonderful day / night!!
