NHL 12

I'd definitely do it if the $25 came out of the cost of the game, which I'm pretty sure it doesn't so screw that.

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.

Stop catching feelings. My god, you obviously dont know leaf if you're throwing a hissy fit like this.

I'm familiar with his posting style from way back in the day at MM. But I don't post a whole lot as you can see from my post counts.

If the guy voiced his opinion, I'm gonna voice mine.

I just think we are just all a little too old for the name calling:runaway:

I dont get why there aren't more options when creating EASHL jerseys. I dont get why we cant use ANY logo in the game... and if not for that why are we stuck using the same logos for the last 3 years? They already have soemthing set up with teambuilder not sure why we dont have more options. sigh.

gameplay is solid

I said that I think season ticket is a waste of money and its geared towards people that play EA sports titles a ton then gave a reason for it. I then said you could of waited pretty much implying that because you don't play a lot it isn't worth you buying it.

Learn to fuckin read. I didn't call you names or anything.

How exactly are leagues set up for the the EASHL?

Are they created by users, than you join them, or are they created by EA?

Also how are games and schedules setup like the format? As far as when people are around, and setting games up vs. opponents. Do you have to have 5 other human team mates?

I'm hoping there are some beginner leagues out there that I can start with so me and my friends don't get owned. We are all pretty much new to the game.

Thanks in advance.

Somebody creates a team then send invites. You go into the "lobby" and pick your positions then start up a game. You can choose to either match human goalie (if you have one) or match club size if you want, but most of the time if you have 2 people they'll match you up against another 2 or 3 person team.

My comments were made based on what you said, that you had a life opposed to others who bought the season ticket who had no life.

You said your peace, and I said mine.

I'd like to go back to asking a ton of questions about this game, and having you guys help me out. :redface:

Game seems really deep even outside of a season franchise option, which I never play anyway.

EASHL is where the money is in this game. I easily have played 2000 games over the last 3 years in EASHL, and it will just continue. 1v1 is fine for every once in awhile, HUT is a personal choice/money grab, BAP can't get powerplay and PK shit right, and Be a GM always gets fucked up.

As I said to others the other day, Madden comes out, you see countless "Who wants to play" threads. NHL comes out, and we never play 1v1, we go straight to EASHL.

How exactly does the EASHL work? Sorry if its a super dumb question.

 

[killgod]

Massive table for all the OTP clubs. The top group is the "elite" division, then there's the "pro" divison, then the "amateur" division.

At the end of the season (one month real time) you go into the playoffs where if you win 4 straight, you are a champion of that league.

Basically sums it up.

You join a team with your friends. One of you makes the team, the others join. Then you basically play the game at one locked position. Then follow what KG said.


It works great when you got 5-6 friends all playing and everyone on the ice is a human controlled player.

lol how many times have you had a team of 5, get into a game against 2 people and they quit and yell "Why didn't you just set the team size FFS!"

I hope they make those team size options and human goalie either easier to find on the screen or advertise it a little more.

There's nothing like a goalie winning the vezina and conn smyth while having over 100pims.

Fuckin legend.

I think i follow it. So basically, there is no set schedule, it's just bringing your friends online your team vs. other teams that are ready for a game, pick up game style.

And this is all with created players right? So you and your friends need to make players? Guys online don't power up ridicoulously right? There is a cap for attributes or does it get out of hand?

Played an online game vs. PP, lost 4-2 (Boston vs. Montreal). Frankly, I should have lost by more, I don't play online a lot and it's painfully obvious.
Online smooth as butter, no lag ... but, of course, it's early. Last year the 360 was perfect online for NHL.

Offline, I'm loving this game.

No set scheudle. You all meet in the lobby, captain (first guy to select position) hits search and random game is found. Basically like 1v1 does it. You get matched up with someone, you go into the "game lobby" where you all hit A, see what positions they are. Load screen happens, and bam you start playing.

All created players. No real NHL guys. You make yourself, height, weight, traits, type of player you are. For example, I'm generally a 6"2' 210lbs snipers. Leaffan is normaly 6"6' 230lbs defensive defenceme. We both have different attributes and skills.

You get points to put into skills by playing so many games and getting good grades. So like, play 10 games, get atleast a C+ average and you get points to put into shot power and that.

It doesn't get out of hand really. By november/december everyone is fairly equal. TEAM PLAY >>> Attributes every single day of the week.


Honestly, don't worry. It is fairly easy to do and once you actually see it, you'll get it quickly. There isn't much to figure out. And it isn't like you are locked. You can remake your player as much as you want to find what is best for you.
