I pee on mine. The 360 looks like a urinal when its upright. :\


My parents are going to be in town this weekend so I won't be on much, if at all. If I'm even on it'll be late.

No idea. :lol

My buddy and I are pretty new to the game. We've been getting a lot better lately, but still have much to learn. He's been playing FIFA more lately though, so I might need a team here shortly. ;P

Finished my 2nd be a pro season, mostly simmed and jumped in if I was losing in the 3rd......

Now this is relevant because my offline player doesn't need the sniper boost pack anymore, 81 overall with the boost pack, 82 without it :D

Now to get to this stage online and I'll be flying

Son of a bitch man. I've played about 6 games offline. Probably because it disgusts me to see my dude in a Canucks jersey. :\

I just kept doing it over and over until I got to an acceptable team. After about 20 tries on the leafs, rangers, penguins, sharks, ducks, flyers, etc., I ended up on the caps and just rolled with it.

. The first two times I did the prospects game, I ended up on the Wings and Rags. I said I was going to just go with it on the 3rd try and got stuck with the Canucks.

With my goalie BAP, I got drafted by the Wild 4 straight times. So now my goalie is down in the Wild's farm system. :/

We should play--I think I have a siren at level 8. I can reliably connect in 10-30 minutes bursts (minus the 15 minutes it takes for me to join a party and a game).

Yeah we should. I'm way behind everyone else's character levels.

Patch is out!

Here are a couple of the key fixes that we’ve made in the Title Update:

Fixed the exploit to slap-shot a 5-hole goal from below the face-off circle.

* Although our goalies are much improved in NHL 10, there was an exploit when shooting from below the face-off circle that resulted in a goal more often than not. The goalies are now tuned to better handle shots from this area.

Increased speed of passes with Manual passing on.

* This year we added Hardcore Passing (manual passing) that gave you total control of your pass speed and direction. Overall, the new passing was well received but the consensus was that you should be able to pass the puck harder and that the bottom-end speed was too slow. We’ve increased the bottom-end speed so the passes are crisper and also increased the top-end slightly as well.

Reduced the ability to boardplay players who are far away from you.

* It was a little unrealistic being able to ’suck’ a player into boardplay as he was skating away from you so we’ve made it much harder to pin a player that is skating away. The further he is from you, the less likely you’ll be able to boardplay him.

Tuning of trade logic.

* Too many superstars were being offered up for trades so we’ve dialed this back along with reducing how often players are repeatedly offered up for trade.

Added the ability for a user to apply boost slots to authentic helmets.

* We’ve added the ability to apply boost slots to an authentic helmet so users can get the benefit of the boosts without having to wear a helmet with a design on it.

Here are some of the other main fixes that will be in the Title Update:

* Fixed the bug that would make a player sometimes exit pass blocking (L1/LT) when they got close to their goalie.
* Fixed the bug that would prevent offline Be a Pro player from getting ice-time in some situations.
* Fixed a crash that could happen on delayed penalty shots.
* Improved logic for how fighting affects teamplay scores in Be a Pro.
* Prevent L1/LT from allowing players to bypass stumble animations.
* Improvements to goalies to reduce 5-hole goals in some contexts.
* Tuned thresholds for injuries from hard shots.
* Added the ability to escape a prefight circle by pressing L2/LB.
* Fixed the bug that made it possible to “shoot” a puck slowly out of the one-handed animation such that nobody could pick it up.
* Improved goalie aggressiveness when poking the puck on cross-crease passes.
* Improved the ability of defencemen are able to do puck pickups behind them to help defend cross-crease passes.
* Reduced the ability to stuff the puck through the goalie by running into him without shooting (most common on wraparounds and reaching puck pickups).
* Reduced accidental interference in front of net.
* Fixed the offline Be a Pro line-change bug where the player is stuck at the bench.
* Prevent slap passes from being deflected at large angles.
* Fixed the bug where the goalie does not react to a shot if he’s banging his stick on the ice to signal the end of a penalty.
* Fixed the bug that makes flip dumps to the middle of the offensive zone go over the glass frequently.
* Fixed the bug that makes CPU center win draws to the the same side all of the time.
* Fixed the bug in the stat tracking of passing.
* Prevent accidental saucer passes after receiving the puck while trying to poke check (because both actions are on R1/RT).
* Tuning to reduce occurrence of tripping penalties when the player being tripped is stationary or moving slowly.
* Tuning to game logic to make it a little easier to stay up on the NHL team during 4-game trial in BAP.
* Many other changes to improve our ability to refine the gameplay tuning with via tuner sets.

The pass blocking glitch pissed me off during that span of games we lost last week.

Let's see what other stupid shut pops up post patch :lol

That patch really seems to have helped. 3-1 tonight and 4 games without any bullshit goals against us. A couple of those teams sucked and those are the types of games we'd lose on garbage goals. Not tonight though! Viva la patch!

This patch seemed to fuck up the defence online, we were on the PK, and the only and the only Defence we had near the net when they had 3 guys comming at it was me, the other one was up in the right corner at the blue line, instead of actualy playing D, it lost us the game.

Our defensemen played pretty well, clearing rebounds, checking guys in the crease. They still made a few mistakes but they were the same things they did pre-patch.

Do you guys use AIM? I play defense and will definitely try to help in this area. I don't monitor GAF a lot in the evenings so if you want me to play, just send me a message on AIM or let's designate a time when we all meet. Looking forward to it!

I'll be on tonight. The 4 games we played last night without having a 5-hole goal against us reinspired me for NHL. All those games we lost on shit goals are now winnable for us. I really think we can be over-.500 in the next season and if the patch keeps the game as balanced as it seemed to last night, I think we can play with most teams out there.

In all seriousness, I really think we can. We're maybe 15 games under right now. I'd bet dollars to donuts that we've had at least that many losses come on shit goals against teams we should have beaten.

Stopping by the liquor store on my way home from class. Awww yeah....
