Here's a tip that should help everyone.

If you play against people who like to skate around the boards/slot, make sure you are NEVER a defensive player. Play D with a forward instead. The computer defense works pretty well at limiting chances although they do get fooled every so often, e.g. offensive player keeps skating in a circle, but more often times than not, you should be there to stop that chance if you're playing positionally sound. The only time I would recommend actually playing D is on an odd man rush, if the puck carrier is driving to the net, or you know they're gonna do a one-timer. Once the other team is fully in your defensive zone, I highly recommend you play D as a forward.

You also have to make sure you stop chances from the blue line. I've noticed if the D is all collapsed to the net and someone from the blue line goes to the high slot for a shot, the D often just stands there. As well, please be sure to be in the passing lanes. If you see a player in the corner boards, most people like to pass there, so stand between that and the puck carrier (they usually pass to the boards from around the faceoff circle/blue line.

Hope this helps most of you guys out. This is how I play D and my average goals against is 1.15. (ranked 120 on X360)

* Also be sure to never lunge unless you're sure you'll hit them.

when iam on defensive iam ALWAYS d and I rarely get scored on.
its just some people dont know how to play D lol

edit: I play grandmastertse quite a bit
when were at its its pretty tight defensively

yea bro
defense will win you games

sweet tips. In general my GAA is pretty good, I find it so damn hard to score though in ALL STAR haha.

I was playing someone last night and I was playing hte 'nucks due to sundin craze and he got injured during his first shift and never came back lol... this means he will rip it up tonight!!!!!!! =)

same thing happened to me playing against bonjour

:lol hoping he will

Jesus. I'm trying to get an A rank in BAP goalie mode, and it's damn near impossible.

Position Score = A+
Team Play = A
Stats = B

Position score is almost always A+ unless you do a bunch of desperation saves. Team play is not making dumb passes, freezing the puck instead. I get a 22 save shutout game, and I'm given a B for stats, WTF.

maybe they want you to score a goal ;)
I find that grading system pretty sporadic....It's not consistent at all.

:werd:

.

and then i followed this up by winning about 22 of my last 25 games. so streaky!


ranked in the top 2000 weekly and top 5000 monthly but still 150 points from being ranked overall (had a terrible start)

lets play bro
you on psn???

woo-hoo got into the top 1000 a few days ago.

215-78-26

:p

i gave up playing this game online a couple weeks ago. i got my rank up to the 1000's (100-31-12) and then i kept getting matched up with those players that always do the same types of 'glitch' goals. it stopped being fun to play so i'm sticking to dynasty mode and cod5.

360

damn

the 360 still has those stupid glitch goals
the ps3 is more up to par with rosters and everything
the canucks are even better now...in the game
BWAHAHAHHAHA

^^ too bad they still suck in real life. lol

Ah, finally got my A rank in goalie BAP. Now I just need my legend card in BAP, and I'll have completed NHL09 entirely.
