Any of you guys playing tonight? Ill be playing after going to the gym.

What positions do you guys like to play.. maybe us sticking to 1 or 2 position will build chemistry lol..

I prefer RW or RD.


When we played a team yesterday.. I swear, I saw someone with 4100 points... you read that right 4100!!!! lol :rukidding:

I'm fine with any position including goaltender.

The trick with faceoffs is pulling the stick when the ref moves his head, which happens shortly before he drops the puck. Also, having 99 faceoffs helps considerably.

Does anyone know how they choose the cpu goalies for this game? is it all random EA created or is it a goalie from our team that's not playing at that time?

All CPU goalies have the same skill level. However, some teams cheat by adding a human goalie (higher skill level) and quitting so that it stays in the game with a higher rating.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure I read that they changed it this year so that if a player quits/drops, their player gets reverted back to default ai level.

Playing with Skead and Jmac yesterday was pretty epic.

Scored my first 4-goal game and had another hatty a few games after. Scored 10 goals in 4 games! Thanks Jmac for playing unselfish hockey and always passing the puck.

Btw, Skead.. you make some crazy saves. When I saw those one-timers against us (in the back of my mind I was like..not this again..) but you manage to stop those! Albeit it was pretty frightening to see you move around like you did but any thing to make a save right? Keep playing goal ;)

[Jmac]

I don't think Skead has registered on RS yet. He plays goal IRL at UBC and 8 Rinks in beer leagues and he went to goaltending school, so it should come as no surprise that he knows how to play goal.

NHL 12 TUTORIAL - Good EASHL Playmaker Attributes - YouTube (http://youtu.be/5pb7G0ryisk) I wonder if that guy realizes that he would've got more from going +8 in WS Power than +5s in accuracy and power ? Would've got him to 83 WS Acc and 84 WS Pow with 10 XP left over. Ditto with Stick Checking and Def. Awareness; a +8 in Stick Checking > +5s in both. His athleticism is just terribly optimized, too.

C has faceoffs bumped to 99 at the expense of a couple points per attribute while LW has base in faceoffs with a boost in defensive attributes of about +2. RW takes faceoffs on penalties if the C goes in the box and, considering Skead is normally our C and generally takes 2-3 penalties a game, it's good to have something in faceoffs as RW.

Yeah since I'm usually at RW, when skead takes his penalties, I have to come in and take the faceoffs. I'm giving my RW a little more for faceoffs :)

This 1 guy had 4500 points, kept doing the same fuckin curve shot crap that the goalie couldn't stop. This fuckin BS curve shot goal has been there since NHL 09. How the fuck does EA let this crap go untouched? I'm really contemplating not buying this garbage next year. And before anyone on here says play better D. We tried as much as we could but when we were caught up ice, this fucker would come down and do his bs curve shot and score everytime.

i came here just to post this, and you got here before me, so pissed, like wtf, 11-1, their goalie was good, ok, i give them that, but everytime when that mofo has the puck, u know he is going to go down, and cheap shot it in, like nammer and i are like here we go away (as he passes the blue line), there is no way to defend that b****, cuz u cant stick check him, or hit him, he is fast as s***, L3 i am sure..... no wonder he has 4000+ points in 1000 games, but come on EA, how stupidly retarded is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when u know he is going to score 100% way before he shoots it, there is something very wrong with this garbage!!!!!!!

[Jmac]

It's so retarded. My TWF has 99 Def. Awareness and Stick Checking and you cannot poke pucks away from these guys or intercept their passes.

Can't poke check because it won't work and you'll slow down
Can't sweep because you stop altogether
Can't hit because you'll miss, or you'll glance off them, or you'll connect and they'll keep the puck
Can't dive because you'll get a tripping penalty
Can't stick lift because you'll end up in the penalty box with Skead

The only semi-effective tool is pass block which, as I demonstrated in the video above, is still not perfect (that was with 99s in def. awareness and stick checking).

I guess with 2K not even trying anymore, EA has basically just said, "Fuck it."

[Jmac]

now you know why I haven't been playing the past few days The worst part is that he's not even near the goalie. He's coming down from the blue line and at least 15 feet from the crease when the goalie passes the puck out and there's no chance it gets to him. It would be different if there was a clear path, but he doesn't care what the situation is. I've tried reasoning with him and he just refuses to listen. How many times have we been scored on because of it ? A lot. How many times has he got the pass from the goalie and we went down the ice to score a goal ? I don't think I've ever seen us do it. There's no upside to it.

We lost 2 games directly as a result of his calling for the puck last night (1 where the GWG was scored, another where the GTG was scored and then they won in OT) and that's not even including the game where we were up by 1 with like 10 seconds left and, instead of passing it up the ice or dumping it, he opted to skate around in our zone, turned the puck over, and they scored to tie it up, then we lost in OT. Add another one tonight. We have a tough enough time winning games without spotting teams free goals and, if I had to venture a guess, he's usually spotting around 2 freebies every 3 games.

It pisses me off because he's a good player, but he puts his own agenda ahead of the team.

i am totally on board about this no tap shit unless u have clear and safe path.

dont take it the wrong way though skead, we all love u, and the O you bring to the team, but O doesnt win you games, smart hockey and playing good defensively does!!!!!

its so demotivating when we work so hard for our goals, you (dean) work hard for them too, so why give other teams freebies??

In all honestly, as James said we talked it out via text because these discussions he (and anyone else may have been attempting with me) were done through the headset typically which I don't play with sound (or have music on).

Dave brought it up with me, talked to James it's a non-issue I just don't call for the puck any more when its covered. I didn't even know we were getting this serious into it so hence why I took it casually.

Oh, and reached Legend 1 and now have a bluetooth headset, hopefully I can just use it as a mic and not for sound as well...

Jmac, Yatli, where you guys been? Skead, Mini K and I been tearing it up lately. I'm almost at legend! I've been hanging out w/ friends/GF a lot and, when I am on, no one else is. Haha

I've played a few drop-in games and tried out a few new builds. I didn't know height and weight made such a big difference in how quick and agile your guy is with the same stats. I made an 89 OVR Tough Guy and played him at my usual height and weight (5'9" 190), ended up getting 2 goals, 1 assist, and 17 hits in a drop-in game. I decided to bump him up to Boogaard's height and weight (6'7" 265) and my guy turned into a slug.

Holy crap, 17 hits? I think the most I've gotten is 8 or 9 in 1 game. I also changed my player's type to two way forward. I'm able to hit people way easily. Before when my guy was a sniper, I would bounce off other players, even ones that were smaller than me. I was getting a+'s for position play and stats with my sniper build but never anything over a b+ for team play. I didn't know that the player types were graded differently. Once I changed to TWF all my stats were at A every game. I'm at superstar 3 now at 90% to legend 1. If I only knew this sooner. I would have been legend (?) by now :rukidding:

[mako]

17 Hits?
My best was 25
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[WhiteVitz]

What time do you guys play at mostly?

[Jmac]

They're graded the same, but the Sniper has the worst defensive skills in the game whereas the TWF has the best of the forwards. All those extra hits, intimidations, poke checks, stick lifts, pass interceptions, pass deflections, blocked shots, etc. that you get from the defensive skill upgrades all add to your team play score.

Here are some related threads on the matter from the NHL 12 forums:

EA Forums (http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/7694928.page)
Hi all,

I know you guys have had many posts about being stuck at a certain grade level and are unable to progress in the EASHL. Thanks to your multiple posts we looked into the grading further and found that there wasn't anything specifically wrong with the code, but we didn't clearly show you what each grade was on a per position basis in the Performance Tracker. In our latest patch we now show your overall grade for each position as well as your overall Skater grade.

For each position, we look at your last 20 games for that position and determine your grade (again for that specific position), and we weigh the more recent games more heavily than the 20th game. Having said that, your Skater overall grade is determined on an average of all of your grades for each position, weighing more heavily on the position that has more games played.

The weighting itself is pretty simple. We look at your Center grade x Center GP / Skater GP + RW grade x RW GP / Skater GP + LW grade x LW GP / Skater GP + D grade x D GP / Skater GP

This way we weigh more heavily on the position that you play most

I hope this clears things up and I apologize that nothing could be mentioned earlier. We simply had to wait until the patch was released before I could explain this further.

I can't seem to find the thread with the team play grades specifically explained :(

What I do know/remember is ...

The following improve your teamplay:
- Hits
- Intimidation
- Blocked Shots
- Good Shots
- Takeaways
- Winning Fights
- Winning Faceoffs
- Successful Loose Puck Dekes
- Screening the Opposing Goalie
- Successfully Killing Penalties
- Poking the Puck Loose
- Completing Passes

The following degrade your teamplay:
- Offsides
- Icings
- Poor Shots (shots that miss the net or are blocked)
- Turnovers
- Losing Fights
- Losing Faceoffs
- Taking Penalties
- Unsuccessful Loose Puck Dekes
- Getting Hit/Intimidated

Most of them are listed in the Team Play section of the Performance Tracker (EASHL > My Pro > Performance Tracker).

FYI for anyone wishing to join the PS3 RS EASHL team, please message me (n00bxqb) or post your PSN ID in this thread so I can add you to the team. Getting lots of join requests lately and some of the guys are just random people who aren't on the site, so I have to do some screening now. At least Nothin420 is a solid player who we randomly picked up (and he's from Burnaby), but some of the other randoms have been pretty meh.

Invited to pub by 19-year-old girl who I used to work with for her birthday/St. Patrick's day. I'm definitely not going to that one as the GF would castrate me if she found out haha.

2 of my friends' bands are playing tonight, both invited me, one in Victoria and the other in Nanaimo. Both are heavy metal bands, a genre I'm not terribly fond of, but I told the girl I was already committed to one of the shows to get out of her party, so I think I'm going to have to go to one of them.

Here's one of my team's club games

NHL 12 - EASHL CLUB GAME - 03/10/12 - YouTube

I'm playing center (red arrow).

Our right d-man was new, just got the game a week before.

I know it may not look like it but the other team is an Elite team with a pretty damn good record. We got owned 4-1 the game before by them and really tightened down in this game.

Some tips:

If you are playing against human d-men, pressure them like crazy with the forwards on the forecheck. They'll panic and make a bad play.

But if you are playing a team with human forwards and ai d-man, back the hell up, hold LT (L2) and skate backwards in the passing lanes. The forwards will call for the puck and it'll come right to you. The easiest teams we play against are the ones with trigger happy forwards who call for the puck any chance they get. I get like 10 interceptions a game against them.

Playing against teams with 4/5 players, use the dump and chase more since most teams have players that collapse hard to the puck carrier trying to enter the zone.

anyways, i think we are getting to know each other's playing style quite well, and developing pretty good chemistry, and it's been a blast (especially when you win)

I prefer to play RW but I can play any position except goalie. I've been playing a few games as C when Yatli and Skead aren't around. I'm winning 80% off the faceoffs that I take :fuckyea:

[Jmac]

Most of us are pretty flexible, so any position.

[adrnlnrush00]

I'd play any position too but prefer right wing or right defense. Was playing last night from 10pm to 1130pm and we got rocked for three games. Suggestion to everyone, let's play our positions. Defense was cheating up too far all night and that led to odd man rushes. And we weren't clearing the zone fast enough. Sometimes trying to be too cute with the puck and got ourselves robbed of the puck in our own end.

Hey guys, a reminder that we need our defensemen to defend. It's okay to take chances once in a while when we need goals, but when it's a close game or we're in the lead, defense should be a far higher priority than offense.

+1.

We have a great chemistry with our team right now. Anyone who plays with us is expected to follow suit. We can't have selfish players who play out of position. This affects the WHOLE team as everyone must cover for these individuals, which disrupts the flow of the game. Scoring and getting points is nice but I could care less about them as long as we win. Sometimes the things you do on the defensive end, even though they aren't recorded on your stats are more important to contributing to the win. I'm going to be blunt here, if you can't play the position then maybe you shouldn't be playing with this team at all. Nothing makes me more mad that a selfish player who puts their needs before the team. We need TEAM players for this team. Please be mindful of this when playing with our team.

i personally dont think the 2 rsn (or rev now) teams should be determined by level of your player, not trying to offend anyone, but van10 is a great solid player, he is not even superstar yet, and i would definitely take him over a couple players who are superstar or legend.

one team should be just to whatever, one should be all actual good players that is just looking to wins, and not focusing on getting points for his own player.

also we should have to tell players not to do this, or do that, if we do, that means that particular player isnt a team player, if he wants points, then he can play on the team that doesnt care about winning.

when i play, i want to enjoy it, have fun, try to win, chill with the you guys on headsets, not "fuck why did he do that, or why did he not do that....etc"

Hmmm... I don't know if that's a great idea.

The greatest benefit of having many players on the team is that there will be greater chances of people being online at the same time to get four or five guys playing together.

When we start breaking the team apart into A, B, or C divisions, then the likelihood of getting players together decreases.

What would suck is that we get online to find that no one else is online at the same time so you end up just playing drop in games.

The whole point of being on a team is to play together; breaking up the team defeats the purpose of joining a team.

True but some members of the team work well with each other while others are not a good fit at all. I'm not sure how we would resolve this issue. Also, I like playing with the core group of guys but when others join in and the room is full, we have a hard time figuring out who's playing what position. It seems like RW is the most popular position which is unfortunate for you, yatli and myself.

I agree. All players should be accountable to the team and the only way we can hold people accountable is to call them out.

I wouldn't call people out in an offensive manner... but rather engage them in constructive feedback.

The greatest benefit of having many players on the team is that there will be greater chances of people being online at the same time to get four or five guys playing together.

When we start breaking the team apart into A, B, or C divisions, then the likelihood of getting players together decreases.

What would suck is that we get online to find that no one else is online at the same time so you end up just playing drop in games.

The whole point of being on a team is to play together; breaking up the team defeats the purpose of joining a team.

if most guys play every night (which a certain group does), then there is really no need to have more than 10, or even 6 guys imo

the whole point of this is just to get a team to play as a team.

[adrnlnrush00]

True but some members of the team work well with each other while others are not a good fit at all. I'm not sure how we would resolve this issue. Also, I like playing with the core group of guys but when others join in and the room is full, we have a hard time figuring out who's playing what position. It seems like RW is the most popular position which is unfortunate for you, yatli and myself.

True. RW is a popular position. That said, I've been working on my defense and have grown to like RD a lot. Further, I don't have much for offensive flair but like to blast shots from the point and to keep pucks in the offensive zone.

I am willing to commit to playing RD. And I actually do play my position =).

as the teams stands right now, here is where most have played in (order of perference)

nammer - rw, c, lw (d if he has to)
mini k - lw, c, rw (d if i have to)
yatli - rw, c, lw, can play G
noob - rd, any forward position, can play G
van10 - ld
skead - usually c, can play either wing or G
aint_michael - G, D or any forward position
arkei- G

these are what i am seeing, at least the ppl that i usually play with anyways

[adrnlnrush00]

Oh man this has been a hot thread today. So much activity.

I've got some time tonight so I'm looking forward to getting some game time in.

See you guys in the dressing room tonight.

By the way, I would prefer to play D but will play C if there's no human C. I typically prefer not to have a computer play the C position.

[mini-kangaroo]

+1 for van19, he's a great players but isn't superstar or legend. I would also take him over other superstars or legends.

Can you please elaborate on this, who is this player that you're referring to? We should be able to call out players while we're playing or on here if we have an issue with them and they shouldn't get butt hurt about it. If anyone has any issues with the way that I play, please call me out on it, I would gladly welcome any feedback.

before joining this team, if i play drop in, i never touch LW, always rw or c, but i love LW now, and actually dont want to play anywhere else if possible

i dont think any of the core is on other than myself, unless yatli is on too, playoffs will probably happen tmr or the day after

how many days do we have again?? is it 3 or 5??

[mako]

Don't know if it's diff for ps but playoffs last 3 days

It's been fun playing with the team. One of the most memorable moment was us winning something like 6 in a row. It seems like we are getting a hang of each other and building chemistry. I am most useful at C and have grown to like rw, just ask mini.kangaroo:accepted:

I can play G too but skead and arkei is better at the position.

[adrnlnrush00]

I'll be online tonight probably around 8pm onwards; anyone else going to be on at that time?

If not then when do you guys plan on getting online?

[411ken]

I'll be online later IF ea doesn't kick me out or if it lets me log in to their server lol..

I mostly play D now (as we have a lot of FWDs) so try to bare with me as I'm not too used to it just yet...

btw, if I join a drop in game and win the game, does that allow me to "level up" or edit my attributes or is this only if I win with the RSN team?

Playing drop in games counts towards levelling up your player.

I like playing D now too as I find that far too often (in drop in games at least) no one plays a decent defense position.

Everyone in drop in games cares far too much about goals and assists. I think that they forget that they're ranked on Position and Teamplay in addition to Stats.

LOL you'll have to battle Noob for RD but yeah, when I play D, I prefer RD as well since my guy is left handed. Playing D is great if you have unselfish forwards that pass back to the points for one timers. I always try to include the dman as much as possible.

[pure.life]

We won a playoff game tonight with Van19, Mini.Kangaroo and adrnlnrush00

Epic game that went 2OT with the game ending with Mini's slapper from adrnlnrush00. It was also a come from behind win.

Oh and to top it off, the team we beat were ex-champs. WOOT!

Good job guys...

EA is starting to piss me off.. either the lag is so bad or it just disconnects me from their server lol.... oh well.

I didn't know drop in can count towards leveling up your player.. I guess i'll be playing those more often if nobody else is online from our team hah

I only prefered RD 'cause my guy is left-handed. But that can easily be changed to right-handed if I'm going to play LD most of the time.

I played C last night and was doin' pretty good on the faceoffs until the last playoff game I played.

Anyways, that last game when I was C was the game where Mini scored on a beautiful one timer.

By the way Mini, thanks again for the tip on doing the one-timers - just that one tip led to a few extra quality scoring chances that I would not have had otherwise.

[adrnlnrush00]

At least you think about the point.

It's definitely a good idea for us to utilize the point more often and get some traffic in front of the net.

Playing D is a lot more fun if we get to bomb some shots from afar.

nice playing with you yesterday. First two periods was getting to know each others playing style. You were taking up Mini's one-timer lane a couple times early on but glad to see our chemistry worked out from the 3rd period onward

Likewise. Is this Yatli?

I was guilty of being in Mini's one-timer lane a few times. I got one of his intended passes by accident too.

Anyways, it was definitely fun playing last night as well. Did you guys play anymore playoff games yesterday?

How did the rest of the night go?

yes, thats me.

I am a pass first player. So like I tell mini, get open and you'll get the puck. But I love jmac in RD because he supports me in the offensive zone. Once i hand him the puck, the D follows him and I get open to do all these creative passes.

We ended up playing the same team 3 times. I think they were pissed. WE beat them twice and in one game, we dominated the first period outshooting them 20-0

Maybe a playoff game tonight?

[adrnlnrush00]

I often look to pass instead of shoot as well. That said, with the one-timer tip that Mini showed me last night, I'll be looking for open space so that I can bomb one-timers.

By the way, I'm going to switch my D man attributes so that he's right-handed in case I end up playing LD.

On another note, are you guys able to hear me on the mic when we're in the dressing room?

Man I want to play so bad. Shoulda brought my ps3 here. The wifi/internet in my hotel sucks though so it might be laggy but oh well. Maybe next time? :lol

Nice man, can't wait to play with you when you're on D. You'll definitely be receiving some passes from me so you can let off some bombs :lol

[Jmac]

RD is supposed to be right-handed and LD is supposed to be left-handed.

Advantages to off-hand on defense:
- One-timers

Disadvantages to off-hand on defense:
- More difficult to protect puck
- More difficult to keep puck in the zone
- Easier for opponents to pick off/deflect passes down the boards to wingers
- Worse angle for ringing puck around the boards
- More likely to clear puck over glass/boards when clearing puck out of the defensive zone

The one advantage of playing off-hand is pretty much negated by good communication, anyways. When we're setup in the offensive zone, especially on the powerplay, it's really easy for the defensemen to switch positions to set up for one-timers from the point.

Wow, that was good info. Guess I'll keep my guy left-handed.

[adrnlnrush00]

Hotjoint and Jmac, what's your PSN ID?

[411ken]

I would also like to play the RD or RW position.

Van19 (kevin bieksa? lol) passes a lot to the point too which is good.

btw, adrnlnrush... what's the one-timer tip :)

[adrnlnrush00]

btw, adrnlnrush... what's the one-timer tip :)

The one-timer tip is as follows:

While holding the L2 button (vision control), hold the right analog stick in the up position (shoot position).

Doing so will cause your player to shoot the puck as soon as he receives the pass. There is no need for pulling the the analog stick down then pushing up to shoot while timing the receipt of the pass.

I always thought that the latter was the case but the former makes doing a one-timer a lot easier.

So when I'm on the rush, I usually hold down my vision control and up on the right analog in anticipation of a pass across the slot.

[411ken]

^ thanks.. didn't know about that lol.. I was also pulling the analog stick down then up when tryin one timers... gotta try that out later...

my first time doing eashl so i'm not too familiar with this (tricks, leveling up, etc) :P

[411ken]

This one time shot should be awesome right off the faceoff :D

[pure.life]

some advice...

It is OK for players in the offensive zone to take a second or two to observe the options they have before making a play. Often, I see players not noticing the amount of time they have before making a play and causes a turnover. Take that extra second in the O to see which of your teammates are available. I have been learning to do this the past few days and it has worked magic.. just ask Mini.Kangaroo =P

Neutral Zone - Never pass unless you think the pass is 90% reachable to your teammate. Often times, neutral zone turnovers leads to goals against. If you have no options, dump it in. Let the opponents work their way up.

Defense - SUPPORT! Always support your D. In the past few games, I have been going near the slot area and the boards to support jmac when he is beneath the goal line jostling for the puck. Give your D's an option so you can go for a breakout. Never have 3 forwards go on a breakout without anyone in the middle to support the D

Werd. I second that motion.

In fact, when the D is in the corner below the goal line retrieving the puck, the other D man should be on the other side of the net to anticipate a pass behind the net.

The near boards winger should be halfway up the boards anticipating the pass.

The C should be in the slot waiting for an errant pass up the middle (note, shouldn't pass up the middle anyways).

And the far winger would be up the half-boards on the far side.

In the above scenario, my preference is usually to pass up the near boards to the near side winger; then, second, is to the defence on the other side of the net behind the net; third, to ring it around the boards to the far side winger; and last choice is to the C in the slot.

Note that all five players are still in the D zone and are not breaking out yet. I've played D and there has been a few times where I'm left with few passing choices because everyone has already left the zone and I'm under a bunch of pressure from opposing forecheckers. That situation actually led to a turnover and a goal against. =(.

I also agree that we should minimize passes in the neutral zone unless you've got a 100% clear lane. Either dump it in and we'll chase it or take it in yourself. Either way, just don't give it up in the neutral zone.

Either way, just don't give it up in the neutral zone. If the Dman is battling with the puck, those would spread the D way too thin and, if the opposing player gets it, it's an easier one-timer as only the C is guarding the slot. Because of how EASHL makes you spread points, the C is usually the worst defensive player on the team (not to mention it's usually Skead, who cheats out of the zone. haha).

A better way to do it, IMO, is have the Dman guard the close part of the net, C guard between the circles, and far winger move down to cover the far side of the net and be ready for a pass behind the net.

Dmen are, by far, the best at deflecting and intercepting passes, so anytime we can have a Dman in front of the crease, we should.

This is what I'd like to see for EASHL:

Basic formation:
Wingers cover high slot, Center covers mid slot, Dmen cover crease
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x213/n00bxqb/Hockey%20Strats/Defensive_Zone.png

Puck at points:
Strong side winger pressures puck carrier, everyone else holds formation

http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x213/n00bxqb/Hockey%20Strats/Defensive_Zone_Puck_Right_Point.png

Puck on side-boards:
Strong side winger pressures puck carrier, strong side dman moves down to take away pass down low, weak side dman covers strong side of the crease, C covers weak side of the crease, weak side winger covers slot.
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x213/n00bxqb/Hockey%20Strats/Defensive_Zone_Puck_Left_Side_Boards.png
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x213/n00bxqb/Hockey%20Strats/Defensive_Zone_Puck_Right_Side_Boards.png

Puck in corners:
Strong side dman pressures puck carrier, strong side wingers takes away pass to point, weak side dman covers strong side of crease, C covers weak side of crease, weak side winger covers slot

http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x213/n00bxqb/Hockey%20Strats/Defensive_Zone_Puck_Right_Corner.png

Puck behind the net:
Dmen move to goal line beside the crease, C covers front of crease, wingers cover passes to side boards/point
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x213/n00bxqb/Hockey%20Strats/Defensive_Zone_Puck_Behind_Net.png

Amen... I think that all players on the team, and new players before being admitted to the team, should be familiar with the formations discussed.

I also see a 1-9 game, looks like you guys got killed :lol

Are you guys out of the playoffs?

That 9pt game by mini was crazy.(5goals 4 assist) haha.. i think i had 4 fights during that game lol.. lost them all haha..

that game where we lost 1-9 was pretty bad.. those guys were fast lol..i don't even know how they can get that quick..

Mannn that was good game and was also a good practice lol... had so many chances to finish the game during the first couple of OTs lol..

i'm gna play around later but how do you actually add boost or even get points to add to our players attributes? lol..

That 4OT game got me in the dog house last night 'cause I told the wife I'd be in bed right after the game (that was in the 2nd intermission) not thinking that it'd go to 4OT periods.

It makes it a little better that we'd won.

Some really awesome passes from Yat to Mini last night too and great work from the D to keep the pressure on.

everything was going in for us in that 10-1 game, kinda like the game we lost 9-1, everything was going in for them, what amazes me is that both games are ai goalies, so it's the luck of the draw i guess. that was fun though

[hotjoint]

you guys still in the playoffs?

[mini-kangaroo]

you guys still in the playoffs?

we only played one game, that was the OT 2-1 win, so i am assuming we are still in

[pure.life]

would've been fun to be part of the 10-1 game. I didn't start playing till the 4OT and that was like 2 games in itself.

I think we're still in the playoffs. I need jmac on RD to feed me the puck haha

was playin with a revscene member named "N00bxqb" .... too bad we lost lool

[pure.life]

We had some really good games tonight. Played mostly with Mini.Kangaroo, AdrlnRush and Kenucks

Best score was 8-0 spanking and a gutsy 6-4 victory over Neighborhoods (one of their player had like 1,000 pts in 400 games).

But the best game was our last one when we were down 3-0 after the first and came back and won 4-3 :D

was playin with a revscene member named "N00bxqb" .... too bad we lost lool

he's the GM and the best RD on our team.

[mini-kangaroo]

it was awesome fun yesterday (again), one thing i do think, if u dont have a good spot on shot, or have the momentum to rip it, look at what options are there (back to c, or wing), i am gulity of that too sometimes, but i think we are coming together as a real solid team.

when we were down 3-0 in that last game, i wasnt too worry, somehow, i had a feeling that we really got that game.

i think our breakout is fine (transition from D zone to O zone), our cycle and getting open is good too, our biggest weakness is we chase in the defensive zone (myself guilty as that as well at times), but if everyone can play their man in the defensive zone, help out only when it wont create too much open space for other opposing players, our team will be tough to beat (imo)

We had some really good games tonight. Played mostly with Mini.Kangaroo, AdrlnRush and Kenucks

Best score was 8-0 spanking and a gutsy 6-4 victory over Neighborhoods (one of their player had like 1,000 pts in 400 games).

But the best game was our last one when we were down 3-0 after the first and came back and won 4-3 :D



he's the GM and the best RD on our team.

Heck yeah that was a lot of fun.

Yat... you throw up some pretty amazing passes. I changed my player's handedness to a righty and changed his style to Sniper just so I can load up and bomb one-timers off your pass.

I did that 'cause I noticed that I was bombing one-timers wide and missing the net. My first shot right after the change was a goal that went in just underneath the crossbar.

Anyways, since my change, all my one-timers are on net.

99 ratings for Slapshot accuracy and power FTW!

Kenucks... you lose your connection at the most inopportune times. That last game would have been great with you on RD but then you loss your connection five minutes into the game... WTF?

I'm guilty of always looking for the one-timers too even when I'm not in the best spot for a shot. I need to be more cognizant of looking for other plays.

When we're up on the boards in the offensive zone, I like how Yat goes up in behind the net to give us another passing option. I've only started noticing that he was doing that last game and managed to get him the puck on one occasion and he then went in around behind the net and passed it back on front to me on a sweet give-n-go play... too bad I didn't score on that one.

Mini, I agree that we have a good rush. Just so we're on the same page, when we're on the rush and Yat has the puck coming up the right wing, I'm likely going to stop in the high slot while you'd continue to the lower farside. We'd both be ready for one-timers and Yat will have the option to pass to me (in the high slot) or you (in the lower farside).

Anyways, I think we're building some great chemistry. It's been fun playing with Mini, Yat, and Kenucks. Van-19 typically comes around 2230hrs and Skead has been coming on at about 2300hrs. Unfortunately, by the time Van and Skead show up, I'm basically done and going to bed.

Yea man.. the game just froze on me so I just turned it off (i could still hear the action too) so lame i tell ya..

I'm getting used to D too so as long as I get to improve my players' attributes soon, i'll be ok.. haha.. my mindset is to just let you FWDs do your thing and I just stay back and sometimes pinch in for a shot or 2 (hopefully someone would cover for me back on D if I do)

btw, I usually like passing side of the boards or bounce it off the boards to our fwds. I think it's working for me better so i'd prolly stick to it.. just thought i'd let u guys know lol.

and yatli.. I won't try to go for bodychecks a lot lol.. it's just so damn tempting sometimes, you know :D hahaha


I do agree that we've been playing way better than before that's for sure :) I just don't play enough to get my player's attributes the same level as you guys :(

I've seen you pinch a couple of times and have gone to cover for you. So don't worry about it. If you pinch, I'll cover for you. Besides, since I'm usually in the high slot waiting for one-timers, I'm usually in the best position to slide back and cover for you when you're pinching down the boards.

About your attributes... play a bunch of drop-in games to level up your player and gain experience. Or, purchase a boost pack and get instant upgrades - it's the best $5 I've ever spent!

for some reason, us 3 have pretty deadly chemistry especially going into their offensive zone

i think ideally one of us should start going behind the net (depending on situation), and start a cycle
all 3 of us could one time
all 3 of us could pass, and would pass

against crappy teams, we can just use one play, but against good teams, i think if we can develop a few plays, it will give us a better chance of winning

in defensive zone, wingers should be watching the point, and c grab their center, and at the right time winger would go help,

once in the offensive zone, i like to either make a quick pass cross to rush or yat, or i might make a quick stop, pull back a little, and pass it forward to the c, and the c would have the option to shoot, or pass it back to lw, or to rw

spreadout and getting open is the key on both ends

which i think we are doing a great job as a team, defensively we need to spreadout a little more, but that's the only actually weakness i see, and kenuck u got to make quicker passes if the lane is open going up, because when u stop, do ur spin, we are all the way up there, and once we stop to wait for a pass, our momentum stops, which makes it harder to get into the zone

you BOUGHT the pack?? u are already a superstar 3, shouldnt have much impact..... since u probably have most of the boost from what i read, boost pack is only good if u are a rookie or pro, but oh well, better for us that u did get it :)

no, no, no... lol... the boost pack was bought when I first started as a rookie. I bought a few boost packs actually. Two for forwards and one for D-men.

[hotjoint]

Man I can't wait to get back and play with u guys. Looks like you've been doing good. I might disrupt the chemistry :lol
