NHL 11 Impressions

I remember playing on team play was fun. That would be the main reason I would get this game.....

Anybody know when a roster update is coming out? I started a Flyers franchise and saw that the rosters weren't even close, Asham was still on the team.

I'm hoping within the next week after the first few games of the season. I'm waiting to start my Wings franchise.

Play EASHL last night for the first time in like a month. 9G, 2A, 11PTS in 3 games

Highlights of the night, 3 goal game followed by a 4 goal game, followed by a half hour of rage because EA has removed hat throwing after a hat trick. Now my hat tricks feel so empty .

We ended up playing the Pro Playoff Champs last night....which sucks because we shouldn't even be in the Pro division to start haha, but at that point we were messing around with a human goalie and they scored three quick goals on us, but he quit and we ended up losing 4-3. They weren't really that good, they just went for the cross-crease pass every single time.

They are in pro.

Our current team is pretty good. The guy we had playing defense opposite of me though was obviously hammered out of his mind or just bad. He was one of those goes wherever the puck goes kinda guys.

Funny note from last night. Our left winger at the start of the game leaves all of a sudden. Then he comes back and his fire alarm is going off. So for like two games he isn't talking. Then all of a sudden he starts talking to someone in his apartment. Turns out, he is showing the fireman NHL11. He then pops a goal home.

Yea my buddies are always hit-or-miss on D since they just love hitting, if they hit the guy then we play well and usually win, if they miss we lose. I'd ask them to stop and just play positional D but I just don't care that much.

I consider myself decent at defense but I find myself getting bored sometimes and I get caught pinching a ton because my defense partner is rarely staying back.

I really enjoyed sitting back and playing defense.....it was fun to constantly stop guys driving in.

One of the best feelings when playing NHL is when you beat up on a guy so bad, he quits and starts playing another game. Just having that feeling that you pissed someone off so much you got them to get up out of their seat, go to their system and eject NHL to put in another game is a godlike feeling.

Doing it as the Maple Leafs just adds insult to injury.

So I have over 150 games played for my on-line player, but I only have a B+ overall rating, A-,B,A-. I've been playing Defense to try and get my team play up, make easy small passes and don't take penalties but I'm still only getting a B during games....tips?

I'm pretty sure team play is bugged.

I had a rare A's across the board last night playing defense and I really couldn't tell you how I did outside of it was really one of my better games where I had maybe one turnover.

I played 1 v 1 again tonight and I've officially stopped now until a patch is out or they revert the tuners all the way back to 1.00 (not going to happen obviously).

Has anyone else noticed goalie stupidity is up 100% too. I pretty much abandoned playing as teams such as Colorado, Tampa ect ect because with an 80ovr goalie it was just impossible to have any chance again some of these guys who do the same glitched move in the slot anymore.

I don't really think I've said to myself that I've just had it with this game this early allready. I was playing NHL10 up until the day before 11 was released but there is just something going wrong with this and I can't put my finger on it.

I'd just like to see fucking updated rosters.
