I recently, finally purchased my Xbox life 12 month account! :) Over the past day or two I`ve managed to play some Dirt 2 online and some NHL 10 online. The reason for blog title is because of NHL 10. I understand that I gave it a 7.5 on my review but it`s because I based that score on the regular play of it the game like Be a Pro and Be a GM. (Please don't take that wrong the graphics and most of the gameplay is fantastic!) I`ve probably played about 10 - 15 games online. I also probably played around 150 online on NHL 09 and I really had my hopes up for NHL 10. I just don`t think I can do it anymore because the online play is to frustrating and too unrealistic for me. I can play a far game and try and play with hockey knowledge, such as running plays and understanding where and to shoot. Then there`s my opponent who might understand hockey but most definitly understands "glitch goals" So I can play 3 straight periods with around 25 or more good shots my opponent will have 10 and be beating me by 5. I`m just of tired of trying to be a fair gamer and not cheat to get my wins and good stats. I`m also tired of the fact that my stats are affected by something I have no control over. I mean you could say I should be good enough to keep him from even getting the chance to get the goals but it is a hockey game each team will get there chances sometime. So I think I`m going to stick to Dirt 2 online at least until Bioshock 2 comes out! At least in Dirt 2 If I lose a race it`s because I was beaten by my opponent because they were the better driver or I messed up either way at least it`s fair competition.

Anyway thanks for reading!
