NHL 11

[Ruki]

I think Kitchener is actually one of the worse teams in their devision, according to the game.

Look!

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Yes, they have an overall rating of 71 in a division where the highest is 72.

I spy more than a few problems with those numbers though. Windsor's lost quite a few of their best players, the Soo should give them a run for the division title rather than come in fourth, Kitchener's legitimately the favourite to win the West if they get Skinner and Morin for another year (both look likely), and Mississauga just might be the best team in the league.

Are we sure they're using real players? And if so, that the stats guys knew what they were doing?

MPH, the default CHL Rosters for the game are from the end of last season.

Because so many of the players for this year have yet to play a CHL game, they are not available yet to be added to NHL 11. They will, however, be updated when EA releases roster updates this season. At that point, expect Windsor to receive a rather dramatic decrease.

I think I've already mapped out how I want to start Be-A-GM with the Leafs. If I start to struggle then I'll definitely try and deal Kaberle for one of either Backes or James Neal then use Aulie in the last 15 games of the season to see how he does.

[Gabriel]

Bah.

The supplier didn't get my game in with this week's new releases, so I either have to wait until next Friday, or see if we can cancel the order and buy it at fucking Wal Mart on Tuesday. Bleh.

IGN gives it an 8.5

Man this thing is an absolute blast to play. Ended the pre-season with the Leafs at 3-1-0. Started the regular season off in style with a 4-2 win over the dirty Habs. After Sjostrom made it 1-0 in the first, I had a 5-on-3 that I took advantage of with two Phaneuf goals then he assisted the 4 goal with a nice tip in by Kulemin.

I played a game with the Barrie Colts, then jumped into the Ultimate Team. It will be a bit of a grind to start getting some good players, but it is fun when your best player is Matt Carkner. He just mauls people.

[Clawson]

Is their a way to change it so your goal tends to allow a few more goals? I'm scoring 3-4 goals a game right on Pro but only allowing about 1. I'm clearly not good enough for All-Pro yet but I want to have to battle to win a little more.

[Toe]

Maybe mess with the sliders. Make the game a bit faster and fool around with the passing accuracy or something. I usually play on All-Pro, but haven't started my GM game yet.

[Clawson]

I'm starting to think I started mine too early. I checked rosters before hand but I missed some so Guerin and Poni are still on Pittsburgh. Oh well, at least the Leafs have a perfect roster right now.

[Ruki]

I went online to do a shootout, so I got the roster update

2 shootout wins in 4 attempts.

[Ruki]

BAP: Red Deer Rebels...currently in OT of the first game. I was out there for the goal against....last 5 minutes, I take a penalty, then fight....then shortly after we score. Yay! But then I get out of the box and get another penalty....boo.

Edit: I get a break away, and score the game winning goal!!!

Edit 2: Game 2 against the Spitfires....my first shot? Score! I'm a powerforward, I should be getting assists and hits, not goals

[Plubby]

I'm a PWF in NHL10, I get heaps more assists than goals. I have like..39 or 40 points so far, for 26 goals and 13/14 assists. I get a lot through deflections and rebounds in front, which is exactly where you should be as a PWF

[Toe]

The power forward puts up a stat line like this - 42 goals, 27 assists for 69 points and 175 PIMs in 69 games.

[Plubby]

Oh, i'm going to put up like three hundred PIMs >_>

[Toe]

I don't like Be-A-Pro, simply because I hate watching from the penalty box as the game goes on.

[Plubby]

I kind of liked that. The only thing I didn't like is that you always sat 8-10 mins for fighting because there was never any stoppages.

In actuality, I wanted to see ADDED realism in that sense. I never get injured (during a game), never get a game misconduct, nothing like that. I get to do whatever I like basically :\

[Clawson]

Man I totally got a game misconduct with Beauchemin tonight for murdering Ryan Callahan from behind. Except he wasn't injured so it shouldn't have been a major.

[Plubby]

Oh, i've gotten Game Misconducts before, just never in BAP.
