This game needs to hurry up and come out.

GM mode is lookin pretty sick and will give me lots of play time.

I already said I won't be working the day of the release and the day after unless there is some emergency that can't wait.

 

[Ravin]

That day is going to be awesome. We've talked about getting 4-5 guys over to leafs, each with their own TV's and have a good 24 hour opening day game. Get the EASHL team set up and just pound out some games.

 

[Ravin]

56 Days!

ratings from fantasy draft:
93
inginla
malkin
92
pronger
dasyuk
chara
91
lecavalier
90
heatley
zetterberg

no crosby/ovechkin that high?

I imagine they weren't on the first pick in that draft. Can't see how both of those guys would be rated below 90.

 

[killgod]

was this posted?

entire period of DET/PIT

Nice goal by the CPU near the end of the period.

ROFL @ Crosby crashing into the boards and getting hurt.

FML @ that Alexisonfire song where all they do is repeat the same fucking 3 words over and over and over and over. First thing I'll do will be to remove that from the playlist so I don't shoot myself in the fucking face.

 

[Ravin]

Yeah KG, Max posted it awhile ago. Was funny as shit watching Crosby slam into the boards, but on the same note, I am glad they did something where if you miss a hit, you still hit the boards.

if u go watch the video it goes from the first pick, but who knows how the actual editing happened, thats why i put a question mark

 

[Tailback U]

have any vids of fighting been posted yet?

 

[Krebs]

8 Min of gameplay right here boys. http://videogames.yahoo.com/xbox360/nhl-10/videos/

LMAO at Crosby checking himself into the boards. The board play looks really nice. It seems fluid and doesn't interrupt the flow at all. Facewashing and after the whistle scrums will add an extra 10 min to your online game it looks like. Sounded like the new Green Day song "Know Your Enemy" was in the game.

i believe this video has a fight in it

 

[Krebs]

Isnt Malkin a 95 in NHL 09 right now? How did he go down 2pts after leading the league in points, winning the conn smythe and winning the stanley cup?

yeah i dunno, probably not final ratings, but who knows

 

[Ravin]

Malkin was a 93 I believe.

 

[Ravin]

No idea. I am sure they will have Crosby and Ovechkin at like 98 each or something insane. Last year it went Crosby 96, Ovechkin, 96, Iginla, 94.

This link has a bunch of screenshots with player ratings for I believe 4 teams. Haven't gone through them all yet. I believe the teams are the Penguins, Captials, Hurricans and Ducks.


And by this, Crosby's rating dropped to a 94.

And for the Malkin debate, he is a 93.

And what is kind of surprising is that Ovey is a 92.

 

[Ravin]

Yeah some of the ratings are fucked. Like Dupis is an 80 I believe, yet the guy got benched for the 7th dman in the Cup finals, and Talbot gets an 78 yet scores the winners. How did they come to that logic?

 

[wr50l]

No love for Max Talbot? For scoring both goals in game 7 on the road you have to give him at least a 97 rating. Ok maybe not that high but he deserves to be in the 80's. Also Sykora an 84 and Jordan Staal an 84, um no. Staal was a monster at the end of the season and throughout the playoffs. 86 to 88 sounds about right.

GTFO.

The ratings of the star players are just as fucked up as NHL09. Whoever does these ratings needs to learn that 100+ points does not necessarily equate to a great defensive forward.

 

[RKO BLACK RKO]

jesus really? is there really that much of a difference between 84 & 86 rating?? Its all about the attributes, whats inside the overall rating not just that 1 number.

 

[Blade]

From what I have been reading recently in this thread, you guys think everyone in the playoffs should be rated as all-stars. Just cuz Talbot scored 2 goals in Game 7, doesnt mean he should be rated as a mid 80s player. Too bad I can't see the ratings at work. Are you guys gonna tell me that Ilya Kovalchuk and Dany Heatley arent 90 ovr players, because they didnt get to the playoffs and do well?

Talbot showed up at game time, and did what he had to do. I say give Crosby a 25 injury rating, cuz he got injured for 2 periods in game 7 of the Stanley Cup, if you guys wanna go by that logic.

 

[killgod]

the NHL franchise needs a 'clutch' rating.

some guys have it, some guys don't. regardless of ability or talent level, some hockey players simply know how to get the job done when it matters.

Guys like Maxime Talbot, Martin Gelinas, Joe Sakic........would be the guys you want on the ice during crucial moments. From 4th liners to superstars....it doesn't matter.

Guys like Joe Thornton (ok fuck it, just about anyone that wears teal) or Marian Hossa.......perform poorly when it's time to shine.


It would be cool to see the franchise emulate this.

 

[wr50l]

Surely that's the purpose of poise although I've never thought poise actually might have had an effect on something that happened in my games. Thornton's NHL09 poise is in the 80s btw :y:
