I was so exhausted after the 4OT game. I was playing extremely conservative and not trying to get out of position. I thought the game was over when you handed them the penalty shot :p

Luckily, the guy doesn't have a move and our AI goalie made the easy save.

Our line has some indescribable chemistry. AdrnlRush's extra slapper boost will only help.

Kenucks, pls get some boosts so you can upgrade your skills! :hotbaby:

I won't be on tonight. I don't usually go online on Friday nights through Sunday nights. Those days and nights I save for the family.

I'm online usually Monday through Thursday night as that's when I'm at home just chillin'.

Yeah... my 99 rating for slapshot power and accuracy means I get the shot on net 99% of the time. Since changing my attributes, I've hit the net every single time :fuckyea:.

add ur strenght and hand eye too, those 2 really helps with the slapper (especially one timer), my strenght is 90, same as hand eye

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! Boost packs are only useful if you're a Veteran or lower.

Wayne Gretzky Playmaker
5350 XP spent, equivalent to a Superstar 1 w/ some +1 boosts

Mario Lemieux Sniper
6330 XP spent, equivlaent to a Superstar 3 w/ some +3 boosts

Gordie Howe Power Forward
6340 XP spent, equivalent to a Superstar 3 w/ some +3 boosts

Jeremy Roenick Power Forward
6670 XP spent, equivalent to a Legend 1 w/ a +5 boost in Body Checking and some +1 boosts

Steve Yzerman Two-Way Forward
6040 XP spent, equivalent to a Superstar 3 w/ some +1 boosts

Grinder
5920 XP spent, equivalent to a Superstar 2 w/ some +3 boosts

Tough Guy
5740 XP spent, equivalent to a Superstar 2 w/ some +3 boosts

Don't ask me how Roenick's pack is somehow better than Gretzky's, Lemieux's, and Howe's ...

Borje Salming Two-Way Defenseman
6100 XP spent, equivalent to a Superstar 3 w/ some +1 boosts

Offensive Defenseman

Patrick Roy Butterfly

Jmac... between the above post and the one you did a few days ago with the formations... how do you find the time to do all this analysis? It really didn't take that long at all ...

Formations:
Google Image NHL Rink
Downloaded highest resolution image
Rotated in Paint and cropped defensive zone
Made 5 circles, saved
About 1 minute each for every additional pic (Did 6)
Uploaded

So 10-15 minutes

Boost Packs:
Googled NHL 12 Boost Packs
Used NHL 12 Player Creator (http://angrymikegrrrr.github.com/NHL-12-Player-Creator/) w/ Legend 3 card (7500 XP)
Matched attributes
Subtracted remaining XP from 7500
Estimated +1/+3 boosts (except Roenick, where not even a Legend 3 PWF has enough XP to match defensive attributes)

So like 10 minutes, if that ...

BTW, looking at the goalie boost packs, I think anyone playing goalie should buy a boost pack. Instant Legend 2/3 card for $4 ...

Jmac
03-30-2012, 08:41 PM
I just bought the Standup boost pack. Figured I may as well make use of my 40% discount from EA (20% from Season Ticket, additional 20% from EA fucking up Season Ticket and me filing a complaint with the BBB about it).

Good use of $2.39, IMO.

What type of player are you? I find that two way players get the "team play" rating the easiest. I usually get my team play marks from passing, body checking, blocking shots etc.. yup offsides and icings will kill your team play marks real quick. I find that it also helps to play with people that aren't selfish. Our core group of members on this RS team are good. We pass alot and get open and help each other out. It's a total team effort.

For me I found it best playing as a Power Forward to get my team play to an average of A+. You can hit, skate, pass, and also finish but as someone else stated two way forwards are good als. Of your more defensive minded play as a Defensive defenseman easy A+ across the board just play smart :)

Dude, how long does it take to get to legend 3? Lol

Haha oh man it took me a while especially playing half of my games in drop-in where almost EVERYONE is a plug LOL. It's pretty much the same as player 350 games I think??

Still no changelog, although it was stated by the admin on EA's forums that the new tuner was implemented primarily to reduce the effectiveness of the shortside exploit goals (toe-drag wrister top cheese, goal line, and breakaway/shootout deke move).

So no one wants to organize an RS NHL12 team meet for this weekend ?

The tuner that was set in last night was awesome. Goalies made more desperation saves from cross creases and they definitely saved a lot more short side goals.

That was a re-enactment of a real life event ... That move was so sick ...

We had a couple dozen people get together down in Victoria at my buddy's place to watch the Montreal-Vancouver game that night and, since the Toronto-Philadelphia game went to overtime, we caught the last part of that game live, including that disgustingly amazing move.

nice video. I'm actually looking forward to this now. I want to see how this affects the figure skaters and what new/old glitch goals will come out of this. All I ask is that they make a glitch goal free game. Make people earn their goals, not just go to the "sweet spot" that they refer to in the video and make those high % shots.

DanHibiki

The figure skating and glitch goals are the most frustrating thing ever.

Once during a 3on3 EASHL game against a top team, our human Dman dropped out of the game so for the rest of the game, me and the other forward played SUPER passively in the offensive zone because we knew if we both got caught deep in the zone, they could have easily come break out and glitch our AI dmen then glitch the goalie.

All it took was ONE bad play by us and it was over.

Yup, I hate that too. I don't want to spend the whole game trying to prevent a damn glitch goal and not score. It's either you try to score and then get picked apart by the cherry pickers and glitchers or you play good D and shut them down but not have any scoring chances. I always wondered if there were no glitch goals, how many of these "top" players would still be ranked as high. They need to make people earn their goals, not just give it to them when they repeatedly do the same thing over and over. The funny thing is that when you shut a glitcher down, they don't know what else to do because all they're used to doing is that one thing. It's pretty funny :fullofwin:

They need to make people earn their goals, not just give it to them when they repeatedly do the same thing over and over. The funny thing is that when you shut a glitcher down, they don't know what else to do because all they're used to doing is that one thing. It's pretty funny :fullofwin:

Until you run into a glitcher who has ALL THE TRICKS IN THE BAG. You know the ones that can exploit every part of the game to the max. It's impossible to knock the puck off them with them doing all these impossible, unrealistic twists and turns and can glitch the goalie from any angle. You focus ur defense on him only to have him pass to his wide open teammates for the one-timer. These are frustrating games to the max.

My favorite type of player to play against are the ones who mash that pass button and always call for the pass no matter where they are. All you have to do is hold LT(L2) and stand in the passing lane and you'll intercept it 95% of the time.

I hear you about those ultimate glitchers. I really hope there's no figure skaters in NHL 13. The ones who jack up their speed, puck control, deking, wrist shot power and agility to 99 while sacrificing everything else, these are the guys that are rated 87. My guy is rated 84 but is pretty much balanced everywhere except for high passing, offensive/defensive awareness and poke check. I read that 83/84 rating is better than 87 but it's subjective I guess.

Yeah I love playing "tappers" is what I call them. Always tapping the pass button right when the AI players get the puck. It's awesome playing ones that love tapping when the goalie has the puck and you're just standing there in front of the goalie. Free goals FTW :fullofwin:

I can't go into detail, but NHL 13 looks like the best iteration yet. Played about a dozen versus games and several 6 vs 6 games while I was there and it definitely played better than NHL 12 despite being a work in progress.

I really liked the part in the video when the guy was going top speed that he couldn't cut in so easily. Now people will have to get used to gliding on order to make cuts. Also D men will have to actually play position or get blown by. They can't remain stational and catch up to you from a stand still. Like I said after I watched the video, I'm excited about NHL 13. It looks pretty good from what I can see. I was prepared not to get 13 if it was anything like 12. All I want is no figure skaters and no glitch goals. Make people earn their goals by playing smart team hockey not this 1 on 5 dangling/figure skating/glitch goal fest.

Ya the funny thing is they never learn...even after 15 interceptions!

nice video. I'm actually looking forward to this now. I want to see how this affects the figure skaters and what new/old glitch goals will come out of this. All I ask is that they make a glitch goal free game. Make people earn their goals, not just go to the "sweet spot" that they refer to in the video and make those high % shots.

same but it can't happen in the nhl series, only way to prevent exploits is good defense and that's how it's always gonna be


if anyone wants HUT cards on ps3 for free, I got tons just sitting on my account for a couple of months
let me know

GM Connected was by far my favourite mode at Community Day.

I'd be down to coach/GM a team in the league, but considering I'm already dedicated to 2 leagues, including one I'm running, I wouldn't be playing.

It would be pretty sick if we could get 210 people together to participate in the league (30 GMs and 6 players/team) ...

I'm on PS3
