I'm assuming your a canes fan blinding? On behalf of habs fans every where thanks for Cole :D exactly what we needed. My dad lives in NC and I'm hoping to see my first habs game when they play the canes there in April. Also FUCK the hip checking in this game its retarded and can rot in hell. That is all.

Mhm, moved to NC in 2001 and became a fan, which was ironic since I was a fan of the Sharks beforehand and kinda followed Irbe over. Sucks that I'm up in CT now, have to pay for Center Ice to catch their games. >>;; Cole was asking for wayyyy too much, last year was his best year out of 3, and that's only because he spent like 3/4 of the season with Skinner. He's a great guy and everything, but I really don't expect him to have nearly as good of a year with your Habs as he did last year. But oh well.

I hope they release a patch that tweaks the balance of some things. Seems like hip checking is becoming the new go-to for players that don't have high checking stats.

Moen put up ridiculously good numbers the one season he was with the Blackhawks. Then they released him for some reason.

Wait, sarcasm is measured in water now?

Also, I find it incredibly sad that my defense men has a 77 rating where as everything else is around 74/75. :l

It gets a lot better after you play with the same people a lot too. Especially when playing D, if you know the tendencies of your partner it makes it a lot easier to adjust to what they are doing. Not every plays the same way at first so it takes a little while.

Installing this on USB or running straight from the disc is either causing me to lag because it isn't reading fast enough or it's just my connection; I'm not sure if my brother was downloading stuff as well.

The goalies are worse this year when it comes to handling the puck. Pucks are far too often floating across the line as well.

So EA's take on the whole puck magnetized to stick not being the norm this year? By making poke checking completely worthless. Might have to go for the semi-magnet & decent poke check balance patch.

Since everyone still has so few attribute points we need to slow our breakout down some. Our D keeps trying to make these huge slinging cross ice passes and they're getting picked off a ton.

Milly, what are your wrist shot accuracy and power at? Pretty sure me not scoring is slowly going to drive me insane.

I'll take a look, but I know they are all in the 80's.

Anyone notice how there are guys with overalls already in the mid 80's? I went and bought all +5's and shit and my guy is only a 76. I mean, do these people just sit around and play video games all day? No work? No social life?

My team went 11-2 on release day, then a couple of us played last night and went 1-4, and each team had guys with like 83 and 84 overalls. They were all faster, stronger, and must have had higher "passive" attributes like hand-eye and other stuff because everything seemed to be going their way. Frustrating.

maybe he was trying too hard to be a player when he should have been coaching?

Correct. Also the game was out earlier in europe and a lot of people went in on that season ticket which gave them time to buik up before release day.

They needed to clear out a locker so Kyle Calder could use it as a pantry for his pregame meal of twinkies, butter, and ice cream topped with ranch dressing. He also split it with mark bell so he could have his traditional pre game 2 bottles of rum.

For all centers: We're getting killed on the shots from the slot. A center's defensive responsibility in to cover the slot and make sure opponents aren't getting good scoring chances. Defense in that area needs to improve.

Remind me again where this is? I've been trying to stay away from the puck handler (who is either on the boards or at the blue line) on the opposite side of the ice between the goal and any opposing players trying to maneuver to get a pass along the ice for a one-timer. Everyone else seemed to be crowding the net and not breaking off to man-to-man or trying to keep a zone of some sort.

Basically, the area between the faceoff circles.

Viz came up with a good solution for our early season overcrowding and I agree with the idea.

Since we have so many people on the club right now, we need to take turns playing when there are more than 5 on. If we have 5 and someone else hops on, the person who has played the most games in a row at that time needs to sit out a game so the new player can have a spot and get a chance to play.

Sounds reasonable, I can't believe they don't let leagues play multiple games at a time, but then again its EA. At least they gave us individual position characters this time.

also, for those new to the club, make sure you actually show up in the lobby if you intend to play. Don't just look at the "how many players are online" and assume there isn't a spot for you and stay away. No one's bigger than the team, the more people we have contributing the funner it will be for everyone.

I'll generally msg people if I see you on and we have open spots, but it's no one's responsibility to invite you to a game or post in here that a game is going on. It's up to you to want to be "active".

Like people posted above, I don't think many people have a problem sitting out a game once in awhile. Last year when we had a ton of players on we ran some GAF vs GAF games via the OTP lobbys or the EASHL practice mode so that's always an option too.

gg's today, I'll get up with yall tomorrow afternoon, peace

Bolding for emphasis. That number is really misleading, because if there are 5 people on and 4 in a game, it'll say there's only one person on, which makes it look like nobody is playing. Or if there are 4 people in the lobby and 4 playing other modes, it'll say there are 8 on.

Ya, that's one of the things I dislike about that menu. It's misleading enough that I always had to check my friends list anyway to see if any gaffers were playing.

Not sure yet. I put some points in both but my guy still seems slow. I was gonna play around with the speed/athletic stats more this weekend.

It's too hard for me to tell now since I am on the last rookie level before pro, so I only have a handful of points to spend.

I have my endurance at 87, and my accel/agi at 78 a piece, and speed at 81. I feel really slow. I might drop my endurance down to 82 and raise the rest and try that. I think it might matter this year, but with all the stats so low it's hard to tell right now.

That's how it is for me. I want to play one game where I put all the points I have in speed/accel and see if things are different.

Is grinding offline the quickest way to boost your guy aside from buyin the booster pack?
