      The only issue coming is, the patch is going to ruin the game. Buddy of mine and leaf has a PS3 and has been playing with it, and the penalties are massively jacked up. To the point where it is just stupid now. Like if you hit someone without the puck (even after they just passed it) you're getting called for it. If you're in the corner and you hit them, called again. The way our buddy put it was "they turned it up from calling 5% to calling 95%".
      All you need to know when thinking of the NHL vs Madden series is the two people involved in making the games.

      "rammer" and "cummings"

      The NHL series is a giver, Madden takes the load.

            Whatever, let's see how it is for ourselves before we start saying that it is going to ruin the game.

            If that is the case then it will take some time to adjust. If it's really that bad, and I wouldn't rule it out because this is EA we are talking about, then that will suck but let's give it a shot.

              Yeah. It's just 3 games, it won't kill you to play.

              Besides, I think I'd prefer a few too many penalties being called as opposed to so many being missed.

              It's about time the 'race to the puck' didn't involve who is quick enough to check each other before you get there.

                  Yeah, I played a bunch of games of the PS3 version post-patch and it's fine. If you're going to be a jackass and hit away from the puck or play the body instead of the puck going into corners and all that you will get whistled. Nothing wrong about it at all. I played around 10 games or so and got called for like 3 penalties, so whatever.

                    FYI, I'm going to be out of town the entire week, next week. Will have access to the computer but not to my 360. If you're planning on running it then, then I'm probably going to have to bow out.

                            Funny thing is, a few of us in the old MMHL had you down as one of those people who always hit people in a race for the puck. ;) j/k

                            That is fine though, I hope they call those, but just from what I've heard, if someone passes the puck, and you hit them just after, people are getting called for it. When it real hockey, that wouldn't be called at all. Same when the puck is in the corner, guys are hit all the time. Like this: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXsk_qZTvLo"]YouTube - Brooks Orpik hits in stanley cup finals game 3[/ame]


                            So basically does this simply run
                            1) Play all in pool
                            2) top 2 in pool play each other
                            3) winner of that game "represents pool" in standard 1v4 2v3 with all pool winners
                            4) winners play each other. Losers for "bronze" lol

                            So if you go all the way, you can play 5 games total.
                            In the event of a tie is it most goals?

                              Put me in a group with my brother and another leafs fan. I will dominate!

                              I might have to record me playing the games with my brother. They are usually pure bitch fest of awesomeness.

                              Leafs offseason training!

                                Grudge match of the year already. To bad not another division. That would have been a finals to be proud of.
