So the second session didn't go as well as I had hoped. It started off that way by getting an early 3-0 lead but that then dwindled away to a costly 6-3 loss. I went scoreless throughout the rest of the game. I feel that I wasn't passing enough and did too much one on one or one on two actions to try and score. I also felt that having to attempt so many shots caused many odd man breaks on the other side for my goalie to try and save but most of the time it didn't go in my favor. The second game I played didn't get much better. I started off getting a penalty within the first few minutes and the led to a goal. And it seemed that every pass I made and shot I shot would be blocked or go astray. Nothing seemed to work. So i tried to get rough and tough and start checking anyone I saw, but that only led to more penalties, and to me for giving up 3 power play goals, and me scoring a big zero for the game. I feel that in order to become better I should learn to try and not do things all to my lonesome, adding in other players on the ice, there is no one person on a team, a team plays as a team, and they win. I also think that creating odd man rushes could be good and hopefully caused by my defense. Work on the poke check rather than full out elbows and checks. We'll see how this turns out.

I am currently in the middle of my dynasty, started from the current rosters. I have only had this game for about a month so I haven't had too much time to play it lately so I am only 5 games into the season. I put the periods on 5 minute length with one five minute overtime as well as a conclusion of shootouts. My team is one of my favorites, New York Islanders. I started at 615 and ended at about 7. I had time to play one game, I was down 2-1 with 3 min in the final period, somehow scored and tied it up, only to lose in a shootout. A few problems I noticed were that I had to realize that in overtime it was 4 on 4 the whole time, not the usual 5 on 5. Also a key component that I changed up was to make the edit lines option manual. I felt that it could be better so if I needed a score late, like I did in this game I could put the main scoring line in, which is usually line 1 or 2, rather than line 3 or 4 which are primarily checking lines. I also had a problem with the shootout period, going scoreless. I then proceeded to try a shootout by itself against the same team I lost to, and I lost in the 12th round of shooting, if anyone knows shootouts, this is a long one. The main problem I faced was that the right stick on the xbox controller which controls the shooting in sensitive. For example you can go right and then up for a wrist shot, or just down and up for a slap shot, but also going right or left can create a deke move, while rolling the stick to one side can cause a more effective wrist shot, I just need to get the timing down for each and I hope my next entry will produce a victory
