So how exactly does GM Connected work ? Are we supposed to play the games or just sim them against CPU ? Isn't it easy to win then if you just play every game. Also, can you edit AHL line rosters ? And why cant we go into free agency?

GM Connected is great fun but laggy as fuck. Hopefully EA figures out a way to reduce the UI lag and patches it.

I can't seem to fking score in shootouts LOL

I was going to say Fake Pass > Forehand, but they appear to have nerfed that with today's tuner :( It was a shot I was scoring about 2 of 3 on versus AI goalies in the shootout.

Five-hole seems to be the place to shoot right now from about 10 minutes of testing. Fake shot or toe drag, small change of direction, shoot five hole ... Scoring about 2 of 5 that way.

so laggy ... fuck this

Haha yeah! that was me, sorry didn't mean to play so cheesy against a RS'er lol. I added Zetterberg, Gaborik, Kovalchuk, Semin, and Havlat to my team since.. lucky you didn't play me now :p

Game changed totally, I kinda like it though. All about wristers, rebounds and slappers



are you playing on xbox or ps3?

So for GM Connected ... I can't look into Free Agency? And how does trading work? Can I just start working on the CPU teams to rebuild my team?

So far I've only played against 4 CPUs in GM Connected, 2-1-1 (yes I suck lol), sorry my playing times are all wack cuz I work at the restaurant, I'm logging on at like 2am and stuff lol ...

My Live opponents this week are Rangers and Oilers ... I'll try to be on more ... and I think we can change the match time to 3 days. So I need to play about 4 games every 3 days?... where does it say that's the minimum requirement?... this GM Connected is still kind of confusing lol ... what is it set at now? One week? So we just keep playing like this until the playoffs?

On another note, played my first Drop-in last night, lost 0-2 but my player is super shit with 51 rating, everyone is skating circles around me ... how do I boost it up?...

In order to boost up your player, you must continue to play drop in games or club games, as well as win them. Once you reach a certain amount of wins/ played games, as well as increased performance grading, you are awarded with attribute points that you can spend on boosting your player. It takes hella long to boost your player.

Or you oould spend $4 on a booster pack lol.

Can't believe they still haven't fixed the lack of penalties called in this game.

Go under 'My Pro' or My player, whatever it is, going off of memory here. Click on Edit Attributes. You are given points to boost up your initial stats. I have a feeling you haven't done that.

Once you use up your first wave of points, then, like mentioned above, you gotta play games, win them, and also get good grades. Everytime you unlock a card, you get more of those attribute points to distribute to your player.

There are plenty of penalties called when I play

boost packs, becuz i cant justify the time playing the game for hours on end

Poke checking is fucking ridiculous

fixed

Last time I check when I poke check a guy in real life the puck doesnt go 30+ feet EVERY time.

But at least you CAN poke check a guy in this game compared to NHL 12 where it was a puck on a string for everyone.

Game play growing on me. Friendly eashl match soon revscene team?

I seem to always get scored on, or score goals from the top corners of face-off circles. It has been happening more frequently. The last game, 4/6 of the goals scored were all from that area.
...Coincidence?

Pokecheck is so powerful I wait for the other guy to get the puck first then JAB

obsidian sent you a fair trade offer hedman and pick for quick

Just reached superstar 3. Now to grind another 60 games to reach legend 1 lol. Once you hit superstar, this game gets really fun. Easiest way to score that I've found is to cut into the shot and whip wrister it the opposite direction of your stick hand.

Sorry didn't have time to log on last night, I'll be on tonight!
I'll review the trade and make my decision, I don't remember who my 3rd string goalie is :)

So are we allowed to work on trades with CPU GMs too? Is it up the Commissioners discretion?... is there an option in the beginning to turn this on or off? I haven't pulled the trigger yet but looks like it works so far?

you can trade with anyone

if they accept it goes through right away

Nice! Apparently, while not playing yesterday, we dropped to 294th and Pro? What the hell?
