I play on All-Star and I get AT LEAST 40 shots on net every game and almost every game, NO GOALS! Here's why!

1. Goalies can glove anything going top shelf and make every depserate save

2. Defensemen are in love with the ****ing poke check and it's practically impossible to get any shots off from the point and middle of the ice

3. EA wanted to make the game more realistic...Well when you see teams in the NHL getting 40+ shots off, back-up goaltenders don't make every save every game. Yet the other team can score from ****ing center ice and anywhere else!

Deke .. make a deke around the defenceman, then shoot top corner short side .. one-timers across the crease still work .. shots from the point with someone in front so they can tip it .. go to the corner, then skate at the goalie making one or two quick deke moves and he'll flop to the ice like an idiot, then roof it .. come in from behind the net and roof it short side .. make passes in the zone, free some of your guys up and don't allow the goalie to see what is going on ..

Hope some of those help ..

EDIT: Also, change it up .. don't always rush to the net, sometimes stop and start passing it around in the zone .. sometimes you can get a guy open in front for a good solid deke ..

When going one on one with a player tap the R1 button to release the puck ahead of you enough so you can skate faster, perfect for getting break aways ..

EDIT 2: If you have Auto Aim on change it to Manual Aim .. but I'm sure you use manual ..

You REALLY have to do one tiemrs, and actually try to deke the goalie. If you just take slaps from the blue line, and simple shots, i almost guarantee nothign will go in. I love nhl 09, because of how hard it is.

Haha, I suck at scoring also. I gave up last night when I was playing my friend after he shut me out like 3 times in a row. Afterward I just watched him play.

Dekes work well, same with dumping the puck because then your down low and the defence collapses on you which allows you to get passes in front or to the open man coming in. Shots from the blue line should only be taken with traffic in front. And manually aiming, usually you're just pushing forward because you're moving but if you actually think of where you want to shoot when you have the chance it will work. Like if you ever get into the slot don't just randomly shoot, aim ur shot and then shoot.

The game is fun sometimes but scoring does get annoying. If you play offline then you would see how annoying the ai can be. AI doesn't play the same game you do.

ok, so i'll agree with everyone saying that this really is the best sports game this year. as for scoring, try pulling off some wrap around shots. set up behind the goalie and move off to one side a little and the other side a little. see if a defender goes for it, then go the opposite direction and try and sneak the puck in down low. i've been playing on all-star as the Flyers and something like this is no problem for forwards like Briere or Gagne. give it a shot, good luck.

I have no idea what he just said, but I concur. Another reason i don't play sports games (don't know the sport).
