*vInTaGe* Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I think this is the best NHL yet. I play BaGM exclusively and the game has really taken a step forward in the realism department. It's the little things that happen in the game that make me think how that would happen in real life. Nope, it's not perfect, and I do shelter myself from n00bs and cheezers by playing offline, but man this is a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Go to the sliders, and find the strategy adjustment ones. I'm guessing you want full control over your in-game strategies so set the proper one to zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Again Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I have posted the reasons a few times. Club is fun, in fact, one of the best multiplayer NHL experiences ever. Online VS mode however, is a joke this year. I used to play NHL for cash and would routinely make $500-700 each season since NHL 08. This year however, there is no point due to the way they programmed the goalie AI. It is like everygame there is a little prize wheel that spins for your goalie, regardless if it is Tim Thomas or Martin Brochu and that determines how well they will play on a current game. There is 0 consistency with the goalies in this game and when they turn into beast mode, it gives noobs a crutch that no matter how well you play, you cannot get over it. I have said this since day 1 in this thread so this isnt a new rant or one resulting from a bad loss. That said; I lost a game yesterday 3-1. The shots were 35-5 (I took a screenshot). TOA was 8:32 to 2:45. Fleury stood on his head the entire game, and TWICE this guy passed it between Luongo's legs on botched cross crease passes. These were not tipped passes, but ones that Luongo was square to and let flutter between his 5-hole. After the game, I checked the guys record, it was brutal, but Fleury bought him a win. If that kind of game had been for 20-30$ like I played for last season, I would lose my mind, lol. --- Also, why does Stick lift do nothing this year? I want to know how it is possible to get your stick back down before the guy who lifted it... Physics says his stick is underneath yours. Then people bitch because I poke check too much, sorry that stick lift does nothing and Parise can shrug off a full tilt hit from Bieksa... For all the improvements they made, this was a major step back. The drive to make noobs competitive with better players in all video games is becoming annoying (Kill streaks in COD, crapty goalies in NHL, etc). I get why they do it, to attract more people, but wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ṣpiderman Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Stick lift works far more realistically. In the past, it was a joke. Getting your stick lifted usually doesn't make you lose control of the puck. Especially if you do it from behind someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_More_Larchide Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 +1 In previous years, a simple stick lift would cause the other player to lose control of the puck right away even if they didn't have the angle on them. This year, in order to have stick lift work, you need to have the correct angle and you can't be chasing. If you're behind him and you do a lift, it's a penalty. It's sort of like real life, how players get you to chase and take a penalty. Stick lift requires more skill now, you need to create your own angle and lift it at the right time. It's kinda like how most of the good players in the EASHL whine about how defense is useless this year and that as a defender it's impossible to defend a lot of things so this game was toned down for amateurs. To be honest, that isn't really the case. They made playing defense harder, but if you play it the right way, it shouldn't even be a problem.

KoreanHockeyFan Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Not liking it when players try to knock down a puck that's an inch off the ice and stay still in the animation for a couple of seconds. Interceptions never happen also, especially on cross-ice passes. Still happy with my 41-13-4 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I dont have an issue with the ease of stick lifting. I have an issue with the fact that If i stick lift a player, they should not physically be able to get their stick back down on the puck before mine... It's not possible/feasible with the amount it happens currently. And no, I am 60-15-2, (323-72-14 last year) I dont suck. This game is just tailored for newbs.

No_More_Larchide Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 You had 72 losses last year? That's horrible. I'm being nice and not counting the OTL's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Ignoring the win total? Majority of those losses are because, as I said, I played for cash online.... Meaning the talent level of those I am playing is much higher than "quick match" newbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaNuck Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The most annoying thing that really ruins the game (on PS3), are the delay and lag in menu changes. Essentially ruins the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
