Just picked it up today, had a little bit of lag during EASHL today and we're still trying to figure out the game. Tough to score goals but there's only been one glitch-esque goal scored against us so far, the rest have been legit deflections/slap shots.

'other game modes' towards the bottom of the main menu.
I've barely played this since I picked it up, just not as fun this year for some reason.
That is why you should join the league we have. EASHL has ran its course. Hardly play it at all. The user games we have are amazing and the games vs the cpu are good as well.

I like the idea of joining a league, but past experience says it's a pain in the ass trying to get games in with people. I'd be open to joining though.

Do it. We're not that far into the season, so not much has changed with teams (other than a significant calgary/detroit trade) and everyone still in the race.
We only have 5, but all 5 are easy to get user games in with, so no worries there. 48 hour advances, so if you want to play every single game it's a bit tough, but we need to advance at that pace to get through multiple seasons in decent time.
Sims gonna happen, but we all agree this is the best way.
As said, it is actually very easy or us to get our games in. I missed one so far against krebs because he is a faggot with a bitch girlfriend. The rest so far has not been an issue. I've played KG, leaf and sigona without problem.
As long as you post in the threads, it is not hard to get ahold of people. Hockey games take 20min to play, so snagging someone for a quick game is easy. KG/Me match was intense, and one of the best games I have played 1v1 in any league. It just had that playoff feel, and it was a big game.
And don't be worried about sims and shit. It happens. This isn't football where you sim two games and you are fucked, here you could sim half your season and still be fine for playoffs.

Man, I love this game. I feel stupid for ignoring it for so many years.
Once I switched controls to "classic", I felt right at home and it was like I was playing a far more realistic version of my favorite game ever, NHL '95. The only drawback is that I haven't followed the NHL in something like 15 years, so I have zero familiarity with the league or the players at all anymore.
I'm going to look into this league you guys have going. This game is a fucking blast.

shit, you guys are on 360, oh well
having a ton of fun with this franchise, this game would be perfect if I knew who the players were
once I get a feel for the current scene, I can really dig in and start adjusting my lines and playing around with the roster. i can see myself playing this game until the next one comes around

NHL on PS3 is :rofl: Game is the same, just like 10x as many people on 360.
If you need help with the roster stuff post it here or start a thread in my league forum. Someone will help.

I literally know nothing.
Finally bought this game because I was craving a hockey game. 
uke: This game plays terrible. I don't see how I will be able to play this game much more than a few games.

I was so pissed too bc the last few years they have been slowly slipping but this year the gameplay is horrendous.
I actually don't mind it all that much. I thought the 1v1 games (with the right opponent) were amazing. The playoffs were great, KG's and I Stanley Cup finals were extremely competitive hockey. Maybe because I haven't had my xbox in about 2 months and haven't played the game I am missing something, but I didn't mind the game this year. I wanted to get some EASHL going again just for the hell of it.

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒ&
Ive been playing 13 now for a couple days.
On pro difficulty, Caps vs Shawinigan Cataractes/Great Britain (basically the worst couple teams in the game), I'm getting destroyed almost every game. I'm noticing the CPUs goalies all play like Roy/Broduer. WTF, they commit to my deke and go the wrong way, or are laying down after a save, then are leaping around and saving my wide open followup shots. Ive played about 10 games so far (against 1 star teams) and won about three (1-0, 7-0, 3-2) The rest, I've been completely blownout/shutout.
I'll be the first to admit, I'm not very hockey savvy, but should I be getting destroyed on PRO? I try to stick to the plays, although, if I can get to the crease with a F, I usually attempt a deke & a shot on goal. I work the puck around looking for 1x with my snipers or take a slapshot when I have a couple F's in the crease hoping for a rebound, but the tenders are like fucking brick walls. It seems as though its impossible to poke the puck away from the cpu, but they snag it from me anytime I get too close. If the cpu and I are both after a loose puck, the cpu gets it 90% of the time, even if I am between the puck and the cpu. My players often have difficulty making/receiving passes cleanly, but the cpu is crisp as a new $100 bill, and on defense, they are ALWAYS in the passing lanes.
All that said, I like the game, and I'm thinking about trying it out on line, but its probably not going to be fun if I'm hockey retarded.
Anyone else having these problems? Do I just have the suck?

Glen & CJ are secret Huns
Have you played it since the latest update? I just played two games of 1v1 online there. The goalies look to be set to rookie difficulty. I won 5-3 and lost 5-3, but I felt like only half of those goals might have happened if the AI wasn't broken. The AI continues to be fundamentally unable to do what it's supposed to do. This game 1v1 peaked in NHL 09, since then it has become less fun and less playable not just with every yearly edition but with every single mid-season patch too.
