Apparently BEAGM still is fucked. lulz.



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Did it say the coach is Claude Julien? ...

Be a Pro is great in theory but I just think it will always be one of those things that leaves you wanting more.

Until they have it where you play where it is best for the team, it will always fail. There is no reason for me to be put on the Penguins and within a season be the top centre over Crosby. Wish they would just dump the position and you play forward as a group, and if you load up on faceoff, your guy may go to centre.

Kind of excited for tomorrow evening. Will be able to download it with the season ticket. I know some people think the ticket was stupid, but I'll pretty much get a big bulk of the games offered with it, so I thought it was not a bad deal for me. ANy other ps3ers going to have be around for games?

It's a good thing I have a life and don't have to waste money on the season ticket thing lol.

On the flip side I just started two massive projects which I can't put off anymore without them looking :shifty: I might not be able to play all day like I did last year on release.

It's a good thing I have a life and don't have to waste money on the season ticket thing lol.

The small window I even have to play video games is late late Friday nights, and afternoon maybe on Saturday or Sunday. If I would have waited until release on Tuesday and got the game, probably would not have gotten a chance to play it until the weekend. So this just gives me a chance, and works for me.

That's kind of harsh implying that people who waste money on the season ticket.don't have a life?? Saying or implying I don't have a life or anyone that has a season ticket doesn't a life is kinda messed up.

I buy the second part, the first part not so much...

Tomorrow is a golf tournament all day.
Sunday is football all day.

So basically only Monday to 'wait out' for the game, which is easy to do.

Downloaded, installed, and played the whole Winter Classic that it starts you into. Got up to an early 1-0 lead with Pitt in the 1st period, then ended up blowing it in a powerplay with 4 mins to go in the 3rd period. Held on til OT and then on another powerplay ended up losing the game 2-1. Had a blast playing it though...and I haven't played an NHL game since like 08. The Winter classic was real cool, granted once you're in the game you don't really notice it.

 

[Ravin]

Winter Classic to me is like the broken sticks and glass. Sure its nice and all, but really, when are you going to care. Unless you can play people online in Winter Classic setting, it is just a waste of time that EA could have been doing something else. Of course, sadly, outside of the good things they added, seems like a lot of this year is 'filler'.

The very definition of what season ticket is sold for is geared towards people that don't have a life and play a ton of ea sports games.

To make it even worth it in DLC you'd have to spend well over $100 to even begin to show savings there and the whole $25 to essentially have a game rental for 3 days is silly and for those that simply can't wait.

So essentially season ticket was created for those that don't have lives. You could of waited easily another week.

I dispise season ticket and EA attempting to get into activisions realm of greedyness. If it was maybe a $10 purchase then it might be worth it to more people but $25 just to play a couple ea sports titles early is laughable.

Agree. The game does feel great though and NHL feels like crack. The things they added could be a patch but I'm sucking it up.

They're going to add a buttload of things next year though only because 2k is coming back just because they could afford to not do it this year. Looking forward to 2k.

I completely agree. People are spending 25 dollars just to get ahead of EASHL and exploit the points system even more. Maybe even try to find glitch goals before launch to have an unfair advantage, which the season ticket is an unfair advantage in the first place.

Apparently there's an update and patch on release day that's fixing a lot of demo problems. Looking forward to it.

If people are buying season ticket to get ahead in EASHL, then what leaf said about "no lives" is just made 100% true.

It all depends on the gamer you are. We will play 4-5 EASHL games a night at our regular 10pm to 2am slot like we do every week night, and we will still be a top 400 elite team no issue. That will not change with 3 days early.

I honestly can't beleive you can say someone has no life just because they bought the season ticket, and people are agreeing with that. It's pretty offensive to just be throwing that out there to people you don't even know.

I own one video game right now. It's madden. Played one game this week. I'll be buying NHL sometime next week. I want to maybe take a look at FIFA, and Tiger Woods, and I know I'll probably be getting Madden and NCAA next year. Those are probably my only purchases, maybe 3 games. I haven't bought NHL since I think 09,10, and if you don't believe that you can just look at my posts in the thread asking about the game.

I have no clue about what EASHL, buying points, whatever that means, and so on or about any advantage you guys are talking about. The menu itself is confusing to me..lol. All this stuff is new to me in this game.

I just don't see what the big problem is, and how people can just come out and try to insult people, especially when it is unwarranted and untrue. I wish I had time time to get more into games outside of the sports realm, but as you get older, there isn;t alot of time. The timing of the ticket and the small window to play games on the weekend actually works for me.

Initially came into this thread to get info about the game since I was pretty new to it. Ravin helped me out with some tips. Had no idea this thread would get turned negative for no reason.

Ok cool, I'll add you. Didn't get a chance to get on until late late last night. Looks like my only window to play games today is late late night again tonight. I'll try and look for you then.
