Something doesn't seem right to me, maybe they changed the camera or something but it seems off from the last few years.


I'm probably one of the few who only uses the Overhead camera, it's all I ever use and it just seems different this year, I can't put my finger on what it is.
 
I'm also having the same problems. It kind of sucked when I won the stanley cup in overtime (nevermind the 2 goals I gave up in regulation) and when I scored the game winning goal, there was no sound for like 5 seconds.

Other than that, I'm really liking it. I've found a few glitches. First of all, I had an AI guy on my team get stuck against the boards and he just stayed there after the puck left. I ended up eventually getting offsides because he was on the other side of the ice. Then I had a few times where people kind of jumped around the ice, like I was playing online and there was lag or something. Really weird. Other than that, it's been great. I can't wait till it comes out.
 
[quote name='moojuice']A for the camera, for Classic anyways, the view seems more overhead and less angled. Maybe its that way for Overhead as well.[/QUOTE]

Definitely. The classic camera is money.
 
I use action. Cause Chuck Norris is allways in the action!

Hey Hockey buddies. We are doing a cag lowball sale for the childs play charity, Does anyone have anything they could part with for the sale. Please pm me if interested. I'll get ya the details. Or search for the the thread. Its in the title. cag lowball sale for childs play charity. Or search for mr_hockey66 should pull it up
 
Nhl 2k10: You can dive and shoot like Ovechkin, but not much else.

This was my favorite part " Video games have gotten really serious, and we take them really seriously."
 
Bumping from the depths of page 2...

I may have missed something, but are we still going to be stuck with the same crapballs league setup as 09, or are we getting an upgrade like EA's football games?

I'm getting a little worried about that too. It looks like they're changing a ton of stuff for the better, but it all looks like gameplay. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but hopefully they've upgraded the league features and the interface and stuff.

I'd even be happy with some global settings, like I always want to be oriented up. No matter way. Like, always. I should be able to set that once and never do it again.

Also, I want to be able to hit anyone at any time without a penalty. Freaking EA jerks and their penalties.
 
I was hitting people left and right and after plays and really didn't get any penalties. But I also picked Tough Guy for my defensive guy. I have a points card ready and willing to go cause YES, I am going to be getting DLC for it. So close and it sucks with all the games coming out the 15th as well. Oh well, At least this is a midnight release here at my local EB. :D :D
 
i'd pay for some cool gear updates. goalie gear seems to de a logical dlc content. different helmet paints that sort of thing. Then you can get free ones like a dr pepper mask.
 
I know this thread is for the "CAG Team" made up of our online "Be a Player" characters, but are we going to try and do another CAG League where we each get a team? I would be willing to set it up again but it would only be for the people who were active in the NHL 09 leagues from last year. Also how close to release day do you think would be a good time to start a thread about sign-ups and everything?
 
I got the Canadiens.

And, I guess this is a good time to bring this up. Does anyone like the idea of having 2 leagues. I'm thinking more for the actual OTP stuff, but it seems like we'll have way more than 6, and it might make sense to split up into 2 groups. 1 group can be the ones who take it really seriously and yell at you when you pass it at the wrong time (I'm not bitter), and the other can be the group that just wants to have fun and check some fools. Just a thought I had.

I had thought of something like this, but at the same time, I think getting a different mix of guys going each week is part of the fun. There is supposed to be a "challenge club" feature this year though. And I think that could be fun to have 2 CAG teams squaring off (Sex Panthers vs Crotch Sharks).

Granted, if we divided up as "serious" and "just for fun", the inter-CAG games probably wouldn't be very competitive. I don't know. I enjoy winning, but not to the extent that I would exclude anyone from the CAG community from playing with me. All I ask is that you try.
 
Ok, I just spent 120 points on NHL 10. Sadly enough they have a Skater Faceoffs Boost +3. Yes, I know....I'm gonna need all the help I can get the way I Play. :p

Geez...a faceoff boost? That's pretty significant. If I'm going to be playing center, that's almost a must have. Damn...maybe I'll spending some points after all.

I know you were calling people who buy this stuff idiots. But I'm sorry, I want to be at least good this year you know? lol. Like I said, I will need all the help possible I think.....MAYBE. :p

I also thought this was interesting to read how the Boost's work.

Also, Try scoring a Hat Trick....I'm VERY VERY Happy. :D :D

The 14th at 11:59 PM can't come soon enough!!
 
[quote name='slickkill77']If you don't want to do it manually then yes[/QUOTE]

Kinda bummed about that... I think the reward of playing well/a lot should be the only way to boost your player... not just paying money.

I have 5250 pts right now on my machine.. I could be Crosby tomorrow I guess if I wanted to??

Well, it's dumb all the way around. But you can't blame people for almost feeling like they HAVE to do it. It's like forced idiocy, lol. Like I said before, it's bullshit of EA to even do this because nobody is going to level up "honestly" anymore. Although, last year, your offline BAP stats were separate from your online ones. Are we even sure the boosts will carry over online?
 
Well on the EB website it says for either your BAP OR your EASHL Player. So i guess it's either one or the other.....but trying a hat trick. I think they took my advice finally and heard my pleas lol

Well, we know what everyone will be using it on...

Oh, and hats on the ice? :)

I think it will be half really. I know mine will be for the EASHL. Yes Nate....HATS ON THE ICE! I was so happy to see that when I got a hat trick (read about it on the GAMEFAQS board but checked it just to make sure....so yes, I had to play as Detriot...:() I will say...I think THIS is one of those games that won't be traded in really. I only have TWO Complaints honestly

1) I don't like the Penalty Box View, I liked NHL 09's view alot better. Just wish we could sorta look around our selves but what ever

2) I love the new crowd, BUT I would like to see a Variety of mixed fans. Some Pens fans and some Detriot fans. Seems like when I scored, EVERYBODY stood up and had Detriot jerseys on.

But thats my only complaints so far honestly. Looks like we will be able to customize our players ALOT this time around. Hopefully RUSSELL will be in the Commentary list. I am so damn phsyced for this game.
 
the view in the box looks like your sitting on a shelf. Me and you are probably the only people who would have noticed that though! LOL

Even Though this is NHL you do realize EA is behind it... As for the paying for boost or whatever shit you can keep it. I'm playing for my enjoyment (since I don't play it much in real life anymore...) or with friends not for this online bullshit.

Yup, we probably are the only people who noticed that. It's a shame really. Guess we will have to get use to it Mr Hockey

I don't mind. I mean, I actually have avatar clothing. But my brother in law bought me a crap load of Points cards(2 4000 points cards actually) for no reason (he is like that, just buying me 360 stuff for no reason lol but I also do the same with him and Vinyl Records, So I guess some of them were worth alot lol) So I don't mind spending some points that I got for free really. I can't start playing again till my Hockey pants come back in from being specially made
 
I didn't realized you play. I just started back after a 8 year layoff. LOVE IT. scored 2 on sunday winning the game with 2 seconds left in 0T.
 
Expensive for a guy my weight. But I play Defensive D. Alot of people really dont like crossing the line when they see me waiting for them and ready to check them. :D
 
Preordered through Amazon today. As much as I would love to beef up Mr. Marino in goal, I don't want to support the Gamestop monster. I will probabaly grab a goalie boost or two because why not? If you have a cousin in the Dominican who has the stuff to make you faster and stronger, then why not pull an A-Rod? It's probabaly something we'll need to get used to when it comes to sports games. As long as they add a Teambuilder feature next year and we can make full on aweome Sex Panther jerseys, I'll be hooked on the series.

I am extremely pumped for this game. Although I may be a no-show for the first week or so do to work and a vacation to Baltimore. But hopefully by the time I get back Amazon will have it waiting on my doorstep. :)

Adidasp - All. Day. I. Dream. About. Sex. Panthers. My team motto suggestion for the 09-10 season :D

That was one of my favorite things about '09 was drilling people as they tried to come up the boards into the zone.
 
[quote name='Mr_hockey66']Your taking a vacation TOO baltimore??? That sucks!


Well it could be worse. You could be going to Cleavland!


:)[/QUOTE]

It won't be too bad. We're gonna visit the wharf and try a unch of homemade beer, get some authentic crab cakes, see an Orioles game. It'll be a good time and a welcome escape from the ordinary for a weekend. :)
 
Went ahead and changed my order from Gamestop to Amazon. They finally put up release date delivery with Amazon and with prime and ECA discount it will save $20 over Gamestop's overnight shipping so I will go without the bonus attribute points.
 
It's good to know that many regulars will be back, but how about GMs? There's Nate, Pure Apathy, and myself, but I have heard nothing from FrankySox or Sean.

Well, I would definitely nominate Alan and Gary since they finished up last year as GMs anyway. I am surprised we haven't heard much from Sean about the game though.
