NHL 12

[Mountainous Cleavage]

My Windsor spitfires are 15-4-1, and I've been seemingly a better passer on with the difficutly at All-Star. So far in 20 games, I've got 22 goals and 38 assists for a combined 60pts, as well as being +28. Almost time to bump it up to Superstar

What difficulty do you guys play on?

Pro. Based on how, y'know, I'm still trying to remember RT is not sprint anymore.

It would seem Brampton is a bit shit this year, but I'm now playing FIRST LINE HOCKEY WOO using my freckled Sedin. I swear, a little less life in his eyes and I could pass him off.

Apsham please stop clogging this thread with awful puns. >_>

Best hit I've ever made.

Just seen on the news ticker: EDM sent down G Vesa Toskala to OKC.

What a perfect storm of catastrophe.

[Mountainous Cleavage]

lol, Toskala.

SUPERMAN DAT HOOOOOOO

That play button doesn't work, Plubby.

[Plubby]

Keep trying, works fine on my end.

It's an image, Sean.

I hate how every year there are locked jerseys. I want my alternate Leafs sweaters now!

[Cactus Drags]

I had a similar thing to Plub, where one of my linemates (user-controlled) essentially planked a winger coming into our defensive zone. Alas, EASHL games do not allow you to save highlights. Which is stupid.

Do any of you model your be-a-pro character on a real player at all? I made mine a two-way forward for...well, I'm not sure, then gave him Corey Perry's physical stats, but now I have no idea which direction to go with the stat boosts. Any suggestions?

[apsham]

I pretty much just play and figure out what I need from how my performance is. Eh. I wish I could go more deeply into it than I am.

I usually base my player on myself, and stats and style on how I like to play. So, when I'm a d-man, I like to knock seven shades of shit out of little wingers, so it's all agility, strength and checking, and then a fucking missile of a slapshot on the rare occasion I want to help out on offense.

When I play goalie, I put the stats into where I'm weakest. So, if I'm always getting beaten high but I can handle anything that comes in low, then glove high and stick high get some love etc.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Wooooooo. Brampton somehow makes the playoffs and we get the 67s in the first round, which is theoretically great because we've wiped the floor with them but practically rubbish because they take us out in six games. Aaron Regan, two-way forward extraordinare, goes 30-47-77 over the season (68 games), with a judicious amount of simming but a solid handful of games played myself.

I'm liking this game. And the controls are becoming less horrible.

[Also, Chicago won the Stanley Cup over the Rangers in seven and Corey Crawford won the Conn Smythe. Grabovski led the Leafs with 66 points, but Kessel was really disappointing. 25 goals, 21 assists.]

[Clawson]

Did you get drafted? If so, do you get a chance to break into the big squad?

[NobBe Nobbs]

I've still got another year to go. And ridiculously, my expectations of the season (which included stuff like 66 points) is to score ten goals, have 22 assists and 33 points.

And now (again with simming, I decided halfway through the first season I did just want to get to the NHL quick) I got drafted. 4th round to Carolina. Not bad, not great. Their top line for the preseason is Tlusty (81) - Staal (91) - Skinner (86), but I nudge the line viewer the wrong way and in goal? Ben Scrivens. Starting. I'm praying that's just because it's the preseason, because otherwise...ooh shit.

Dominik Hasek DLC?
