"We are preparing and testing another Tuning Set now and planning for it to be out next week or early October. I want to be sure people know that it isn't an infinitely flexible system and we can only tweak parameters that were pre-arranged to be read off the servers. There are lots of them and we can do a lot with them, but we can't do everything we might want to."
 
Ok, since Friday is approaching I figure we should get some sort of role call so we can split up the teams somewhat evenly, and if theres not enough people just play as one team.

So... Im in for friday, who else?
 
I'd like to try it out, but I'm not sure that I can make the start time. I may be able to join in a little later. I'm not picky as to which team to play on. I've never played this mode. I've only done head to head on NHL 08. So, I'll most likely suck compared to others, but I just want to play for fun.
 
[quote name='Vulcan2422']I saw this on the GameFAQS board. Looks like I'm not bored anymore today as I have something to do. :D

is the best way to do this stream it from the PC?... ever since I have had NHL 10, the songs from my PC when i try to stream music over the game, they stop for like a minute at a time and then start where they left off, like it's buffering or something. I don't know if it's just that game or not, I should try it on Zuma or something.

I think I'd have to copy it to my xbox, what's the best way?
 
Ill be there Friday, probably not right at the starting gate, but within half an hour like usual.

As for the music, the file size seems small. I could have sworn it was lik 500MB+ last year. I didn't stream it last year (ripped CD's to my HD), and it worked flawlessly with the game. If you decide to do CD's, try to use CD-Rs so you can burn songs from one playlist (etc. one CD for Break in play, one CD for Intros), which will make sorting songs a lot less time consuming since the 360 wont read tags.

I usually burn it to a CD-R as individual stuff.

Exaclty like so Destro....Also this one is 279 MB. I'm gonna do it pretty soon. At least it will make the game a LITTLE bit more enjoyable.
 
tuner update looks good, last time we played my brother mentioned how last year poke checks were a lot more effective, and they up the effectiveness on the first update!
 
cool about the tuner update. hope it actually works. not sure when i'll be around. as mentioned, i've got some stuff going on, plus the yankees play tomorrow night.
 
Looks like I might not be around tomorrow night...but I'll be around tonight after 1030 and all day tomorrow if anyone wants to club it up. Or play league games, whichever.
 
Muse concert tomorrow. I won't be on.


So EA managed to make the goalies worse. Just wait till tomorrow when you all play. Now they stop break-a-ways, and most one timers, but now they let the 3 mph shots in.

All right, I updated to OP to reflect having two teams. Presently, Alan (moojuice) and I are the only members of the Crotch Sharks, but invites have been sent to Chunky, Gary, and Matt (can't remember if anyone else mentioned switching sides). I should be able to play after the Yankee game, but I made Alan a GM, so he can handle invites for anyone else who wants to join the team when he gets on.

Obviously, nobody is obligated to wait on anybody. Play randoms, play each other. Whatever. This just gives us flexibility for when the glitches and glitchers get worse (as slickkill pointed out, the tuners seem to have done some wacky shit to the game). Alan and I played a few games last night and glitch shots seemed to be better, but cross creasers were worse, and our AI passing was retarded to the 10th degree. Tonight should be interesting.
 
(haha...sorry Alan. Using a friend's computer.)

I played in my season a bit after updating with the Tuner and I had one goal where I went to pass it to the wing and he passed it down center ice instead and it went right between the goalies legs for a goal.

Ok, so like I said before, I haven't played this online yet, what do I need to do to be able to play with you guys on one of the teams? I'm assuming that I need to make a player first, but then I have to be invited?

There's a good way to stop the cross crease passes... just as in real hockey, have your center come back on defense, and press the shot block button to stop the pass from side-to-side.

Yeah, it's an added responsibility, but it works well.

I'll be on after the Yankee game, unless it's a 4 run cushion or something after 6 innings, the Yankees bullpen is at the point the game is only 6 innings long.

Hopefully Sean and Apathy at least are on for the Panthers, we can challenge you guys and vice-versa.
 
I are a Crotch Shark now. RAWWRR!! Also, got a new goalie today for 20 shutouts during BAP. 3 boost slots. Let's see how much better I play now in the EASHL as a goalie.
 
Sharks don't go, "RAWWRR!", Gary. :p

I'd love to play matches between the Sex Panthers and Crotch Sharks to get the challenge achievement, though.

Well, what the hell else do they say? Sharks can't talk Matt! Nor do they do anything but splash around in the water! (Insert fat joke of me here) :p
 
Well...I've decided to stay on with the Sex Panthers. Seeing as how Vulcan and I are both Goalies. I'm interested to see how it will go. Hopefully there are some Sex Panthers on to show the Crotch Sharks who is boss! (and to get the Challenge achievement.) :)

I smell a Goalie challenge coming on.....who will prevail? The 275lb goalie or the Panther? We will find out tonight!
 
This two team thing, I don't get it. We're all gonna end up on the same team again within 2 weeks when the herd thins out of who plays anymore since the game came out.


Are we just challenging each other all night?
 
^I'm sure the Panthers need you tonight, looks like they have 5 or 6 and we have 3 or 4 by my count.

be on after the Yankee game, about 9 pm.
 
Same here. I already said I'd be on after the Yankee game. If other people want to play other games instead, that's their business. Maybe the people who like to talk shit and make fun of others should take a little more initiative.
