gg's tonight
sorry my 360 froze so I got disc in the last one I was playing against the Red Deer team, hope yall pulled it out
Lord you asked for advice on how to use your new attribute points, you play similar to me when I play d-man, here's the attributes I find are more important
OFF
1A- passing
1B- puck control
2- slap shot power
3- off awr
4- slapshot acc
- I don't put any points into wrist shot pow or acc for my d-man build, hand eye is not really too important and you dont do much loose puck deking so dont waste points with that
DEF
1A- stick checking
1B- def awr
2- discipline
-i don't put points into anything else for my d-man build, if you want to be more well rounded you can throw points in body checking too if you want to be able to lay people out. Don't waste points in aggression unless you are a volume body checker, dont waste points on fighting and dont put anything into blocked shots as all it controls is how fast you get up from laying down
ATH
1A- strength
1B- balance
2- agility
3- accel
4- endurance
5- speed
-as a dman dont waste in points in durability, I find endurance is more important than speed
when in doubt just think about what you do most often on the ice and favor the attributes that control those things. If you dont know what each attribute is for specifically you can find descriptions for each attribute in the tabs of the help menu (back button from almost any menu)

Thanks a lot Viz. I actually ended up finding your old post and used that to spend my points. It's pretty much the same advice, so it's all good. =D
Good run tonight. Good games from Milly, Noz, Viz, Lord, Schuey, and Jerry. 7-0 on the night and we're 18-1-1 in our last 20. We finally cracked the top 1000 all-time too.
I wasn't playing well in the games Jerry was playing in because he laughs at everything anyone says and that would crack me up and I'd get distracted. :lol
We got the club trophy for 100 shorthanded goals thanks to my awesome goal when we were down 5-on-3.

Fuck this game. I did a wrap around puck went in the net then took like 15 secs for them to "blow it dead" And then the faceoff comes outside the zone. WTF is this shit EA?
Also how do you find videos you uploaded? It says uploaded to ea sports world but when I go to my profile on ea it says I have no uploaded videos?
Edit: I have two personas apparently? So stupid.
Go EA! http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/75819141

didn't look like it ever crossed the line, EA's magic goaline forcefield turned on and kept it out, along with their realistic puck and goalie physics that caused the puck to stick to the goalies pad before the ref blew the play dead

That's because you keep getting concussions and running into the boards at full speed....and never look for the passes.

No, it definitely did. I watched it in slow mo. The shadow at the bottom of the net is the puck. My stick went through the goal post so maybe that's why? Game is so glitchy though.
Anyone playing before 8pm?

sorry dudes i got disc. There are some bad thunder storms going on and a power surge knocked me out of that game. Good luck
TheVisualizer said:
I got smoked all game long. The other team moved the puck really well and undressed me at least twice for goals. I played a horrible game.
Also, if you guys were wondering why I was flying aimlessly for the first 10 in-game minutes, my bro was downloading something on steam. If I had not found the problem, the proper etiquette would have been to quit on, right? Anyway, I played a disappointing game. Like I said on the in-game chat, I'm just gonna take a bit of a break for tonight. I might be on later, at around 11:30pm eastern.
It was a strange game to play though. How come no one had their mics on? I'm always used to Viz's positive reinforcement. =D

gg's duders
sorry I couldn't bless you with my golden voice tonight, I came down with a pretty nasty cold in the last day or so, figured I would spare you guys having to hear my blow my nose, clear my throat and breath thru my mouth and just go old school swim style with the silence and text chat
we got soooo lucky in the last one we played where i somehow got a hat trick by standing around near the net and tapping in miracle passes. We were way out of sync all game long, people were botching easy plays left and right and we end up clawing back to force overtime and winning off the shittiest goal ever. I got stuck out by the blue line and decided to try a random loose puck deke while standing completely still and the puck bounced off their guys' skate and slowly trickled up the ice right to Milly who was standing still next to net for a garbage one-timer goal...

Motherfucker. If we lose this it's all on my fault. Didn't fucking turn around quick enough and knocked it into our own net. Such a stupid fucking mistake.

I'm just not winning the battles. Poke checks, I never win it back. Stick lifts, nope, not happening. Hustle button, forget it. It's frustrating cause before I changed, I was winning that stuff, but getting my ass handed to me more often and not being able to check. Maybe I should just not worry about being able to check...Marvie_3 said:I dunno. My guy feels pretty fast with my build. :/
The one thing I managed to not fuck up while changing my stats around so far has been my hitting/speed.Milly79 said:
