NHL 11 Impressions

Never have had that issue. Check and see if your assistant coach setting is off because that may have something to do with it.

That's what I'm thinking but I thought I turned that off. It was pissing me off because I couldn't set anything up having to worry about if my goalie was in the net or not.

What is this bullshit of the computer pulling my goalie for me? I hate pulling my goalie because it's just an easy way for the computer to score again. I fought the game to put my goalie in the whole final minute of the period. I see it say pulling goalie and I'm like no, so I put him back in and split second later it says pulling goalie again.

Yah that sounds like you have the assistant right on and possibly automatic line changes which will do that.

Raptor, how are the penalties and power plays in your chise? I'm finding my team takes a lot of penalties and on the PK, its basically a for sure goal. I can play perfect defence but one pass to the point and a slap shot normally beats me fairly easy.

The new sliders I've been using the last two games have only resulted in 8 & 6 total PP and the CPU usually converts 1/3 of theirs. I try not to use the stick lift or poke check unless I have a clear chance to use it. Most of my penalties my team gets are from the CPU not from me.

I'd ask for a trade.

man i suck at this game. I like that you cant just pick it up and be good immediately but man am i terrible.

[Ravin]

Islanders would be a good team to actually play on because the team is filled with young guys. I'd be happy to play on that team for a be a pro because honestly, I'd get sick of playing for a good team who really doesn't need me.

[Boucher]

I got drafted by them first overall in my BAP

[Fappin Raptor]

I always seem to get drafted by the Wild.

Dammit, just started playing online against random opponents and I'm hooked.

Fun as fuck.

Playing anonymous opponents can be so annoying.
1) How many New Jersey fans are there?
2) A complete lack of respect for hockey - never freezing the puck, play offence while penalty killing, etc...

I wish this game had even goalie mode or something. I had being tactically stronger than an opponent, outshooting them by a mile, then losing because Carey Price gives up 1 or 2 soft goals a game.

I've played one person who was the devils. I get a lot of flyers games.

Kind of funny with point two. Last night I was playing a league game. It's with some friends and their friends. The two guys I played last night HATE with captial letters, puck freezing. They want the puck let out all the time. They wanted me to let the puck out when he had three guys in front. Also, the one guy I played never plays sim style. He's Montreal and he scored a shorty on me, and I said "so the league is going to be like this eh". He goes on about how his PK is terrible and he lets in so many goals. "it is my option to play offence while on PK, and I get scored on." I went 2/4 on the powerplay against him, and I won 6-3. I'm Washington, he's montreal.

I even told the guy to play proper because if he wants to pull the PK shit with me, I'll make him pay for it. So when he got a penalty, I simply took the puck down the ice and played keep away for 2minutes. lol. Just kept the cycle going. My guy gets out of the box and within a minute I score. He was steaming. I also had like 3 breakway goals on him.


And Dave, Price is possibly one of the worst goalies in the game. You are getting what you get with him. The guy I played yesturday allowed like 2-3 soft goals that shouldn't have gone in. Price is just a weak goalie, and you can play defence all you want, he isn't going to win you games. Don't know how people play as the same team all the time. I haven't yet played as the Penguins in a game.

I just can't do it man.
I'm a Canadiens diehard.
In Madden, I love using different teams even though I'm an Eagles' fan, but I just can't do it with NHL.

I'd rather lose with the Canadiens than win with another team.
