NHL 2K9 / NHL 09

[CQI13]

How does one play defense? I am on pro and the other team always seems faster.

[Ruki]

Defense=hitting other people really really hard.

[Gabriel]

Positioning... keep yourself between your opponent and the goalie. Use the poke check, the stick lift, and yes, crush people at will.

Be wary though, going for the big hit can leave you out of position and totally fucked. Also, poke checking all willy nilly can lead to a multitude of tripping calls... and the stick lift will sometimes give you slashing or high sticking penalties.

The safest way to play is just to position yourself properly and not let the other team get off any good shots.

[Ruki]

If you want to.

[Cactus Drags]

Chuss.

[Ruki]

[Cactus Drags]

Balls, I need sleep.

[Maxx]

Tomorrow day/night is far more likely.

And I'm probably bringing back Dean Portman

I just picked up 09... I am creating Gunnar Stahl as we speak. So if you want to watch me, an Englishman who knows very little about hockey outside of the rules and teams, embarrass himself against a bunch of Americans/Canadians/Better Hockey gamers... invite me to the team. :-p

I realise I haven't sold myself very well there... but I let my game do the talking... >_>

Edit - Anyone know what shirt number Gunnar Stahl wore?

......we do well on our own. As a team, we fail. We need organization!

[rocksta]

My copy comes monday. I don't have live in the dorms but yah.

[Ruki]

Clearly you need to get Live.

[Whisper]

eeek... nifty control system... this is gonna take some getting used to.

[Ruki]

Switch to classic....hit and shoot should not be on the same stick......If you're trying to jam the puck in, you'll get a penalty for smacking some guy in the face.

Gunnar Stahl's Lowell Devils debut ended in disappointment

2-0 defeat. I did nothing.

[Clawson]

I played BAP one time, on my friends 360 with a controller I've never used before and I ended with 2 goals and 3 assists.

You women.

[Whisper]

Can someone briefly explain +/- to me please. I've always wondered about it and never bothered to find out.

Your team scores when you're on the ice = +1

Other team scores when you're on the ice = -1

[Ruki]

I'm not allowed to be goalie ever again.
