NHL 11 Impressions

Cracked be a gm for about half an hour.

Good god there is a lot of fun stuff in there. Seriously thinking about starting a chise because i think documenting it would be interesting.

Going to wait for a while though. I have no idea what sliders to use and most rosters arn't fully set yet. I know on the leafs they're missing a bunch of goalies.

Is this never ending loading screen normal for everyone else? When I try to join an xbox live game, it just goes straight to this load screen forcing me to dashboard because I cant cancel or back out.

I had that the other night when trying to play OTP games. It would just sit there after selecting ranked OTP. Haven't tried since though.

[JOHNNYTHECLOWN]

yeah happens to me too, once in a great while.


i lol everytime someone checks themselves into the boards...

Epic epic game I just had.

Go down early 2-0 to this clown. Dude is doing every glitch in the book. Wrap around, holding the a button down constantly. I took 7 penalities total and was on the pk for half the game.

I manage to score in the 2nd off a sweet little move. I'm getting extremly pissed in the 3rd. Took most of my penalities here. With 30 seconds left I'm on a 5-3 pk. I manage to send someone on a mini break away. With him diving all over the place around me I pocket it with 13.8 seconds left. 2-2 heading into OT.

Get into OT again just playing the hardest defense i've ever done. I again send someone on a mini break and score it with 48 seconds left in OT.

I look at my player hub. The dude is ranked 30th in the world. I was his first lost.

Played this at my friends house yesterday on the 360 and was doing pretty good

When i got back from a hockey game last night I found out my dad was going to buy it but my mom told him no...

man I forgot how much I hate playing with random defensemen in OTP....PLAY DEFENSE!

[Ravin]

WIngs are you playing with your friends or something. Never see you on.

[wingsfan77]

yeah I'm on a club with them, I think I actually took all you guys off my friend's list because we hadn't played together for like 2 years haha

I almost need a random thoughts thread for my nhl 11 adventures.

Playing OTP with randoms is the most annoying thing in the world. I see why I never played it last year as it was 100X better playing in the EASHL.

That hut thing is not only stupid but its quite gay. Played around with it tonight and probably won't try and get to far in it after I get past the couple achievements needed in it. Mainly just getting another unlock slot is my goal. Outside of that EA can take their micro transactions and lopsided game play and kiss my ass. I hate shit like that.

I cant get into the Drop-in games. I keep getting that stupid loading screen. Forced to play OTP. But I'm not as good as most of the guys in this thread. But I sure as fuck dont puck hog, and make idiotic plays.

Did this game get a Madden styled locomotion treatment? Didn't follow the development too closely and I dont feel like the analog movement is there anymore. Theres times(usually on puck possession change at mid-ice or in the slot) when I need to change direction quickly and my skater feels like he's skating through mud. And for a few seconds casually skates down ice.
