NHL 11 Impressions

[leaffan]

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.

Its been like that for a while but every year the gameplay gets more and more slower. The whole feeling like skating in mud is pretty much just like real life. If you stop and then try to start skating again your not going to go 100% right off the bat. Same way as running in other sports obviously.

If I'm not playing EASHL right now its 1v1 with friends, Beagm or otp if I want. I really only play a couple of those mainly to get more games in with my player.

Finally won an online game.
2-1 in OT.
Scored with 8 seconds left in OT, because that's how I roll.

Next game, I beat Pittsburgh 1-0 (with Montreal).
He badly outshot me, but Price stood on his head for a change.

My offence is just offensive. Horrible.

That's because size matters in this game

Not with Price. He gives up soft goals almost every game.

lol you should be used to that by now.

lol you should be used to that by now.

I do, but I have to use Montreal. I feel like I am committing mutiny if I use any other team.

Could do what I do. I usually just hit the x button a billion times until they pick a team. If they choose any of the top teams like pitts, chicago, san jose ect. then I go with a counter team and if not its some random team.

You got to get out of this "play like the madden people do". Just because they are your fav team, doesn't mean you have to be them. I hardly am ever the penguins mostly because I don't find it fun playing them all the time. I'm mostly Tampa or LA before anyone else.

[dave]

I just can't use any team but Montreal. It just feels too wrong.

lol

Calgary players have a history of being dirty. Nothing new here.

I've officially had enough of 1v1 now. This shit is worse then trying to play madden online.

Fuckin mode is broken. I can't take the stupid goalies, stupid players, hell stupid AI all together, constant use of the a button. I try to play some form of normal hockey and defense which worked in NHL10 but simply does not work in NHL 11.

Defense is all but gone in this game so it can officially go fuck itself till they fix it.

Oh and fix the fuckin pass button too. That shits broken as well.

I'm heated. We need I'm mad picture.
