[quote name='enemyofusall']wow I just now found out about this thread haha. But anyway, does anyone know if there is a cag nhl 11 team for ps3? Yes I know i am in the Microsoft section but i searched and couldn't find anything, thanks.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, there is. I have no idea when the last time they played was, but the thread should be somewhere in the PS3 forum. I think it has "EASHL" in the title, so maybe try searching for that.

[quote name='jza1218']Just because you're not a scorer doesn't mean you can't contribute on the scoresheet either. Learning to see a play develop, notice when a teammate is in good shooting position or has a step on the defense and just generally anticipating the flow of the game on offense goes a long way to racking up assists in my opinion.[/QUOTE]

Amen to that.
 
I loved the demo, much more realistic feel. Gary you are spot on about the puck physics, it's definitely realistic.

When is everyone trading in '11? I might do it now cause my next few fridays are booked up. In any case, I'll definitely be playing a lot more '12 than I was able to with '11.
 
Well I won't be tradng in 11 because my disc has a small crack in it near the inner ring that has been there for about 4 months now. I'm just lucky I installed the game to my HD shortly after launch. I'm kinda surprised it lasted this long, haha.

We had a good night last night. Gary, Brandon and I went 5-0 (including 2 DNF wins), scoring at least 4 goals in every game. Our passing was also over 50% in every game (and like 80% in one of the DNF games). It really goes hand in hand.
 
I actually scored a couple goals! Quite rare for me!

Also, I'm tempted to trade in after these coming play offs, but then who knows what happens to 12 and they fuck it up. I'm so on the fence right now.
 
^Yeah but even if '12 goes through a rough patch, what are the real chances you're gonna go back to strictly '11?

It is pretty amazing with this group now we basically play up until the next release, 2 years ago or so by June I think there was nothing left in the tank.
 
See, lets look at the website, there is a button that says "Trade in Values". If you click that button you can see the Trade in Value. I just have to put this out there finally. Do you ask stupid questions just because you can or are you really that stupid?

If you judge my intelligence by how many features i know to use on this website, then I guess i'm a dumb guy. But I have to put this out there finally, are you an ass to people because your impotent or is your career and life in general just woefully unfulfilling? No wonder people stop playing with the league, when there's a rude bag of dicks like yourself starting shit with gentle kind people like me for no reason.

Let's see, I don't have a career so that rules that out, I play hockey in real life so that rules out my life in general, I'm expecting a kid on the way so that rules out how impotent I am. So I must be a dick, but let's count the ways that you annoy me in general. You post in a thread that is 400 pages long asking for a shortened version of whats happening when you could have easily browsed page one and maybe skimmed through a couple more pages. You come into the game yelling and screaming when we were in the play offs. We tell you to try to play serious as a goalie you play spider style. You ask us what the score is when you can easily pull up one of us who is playing and look at the score. Did I cover it all, probably not. But those are the main reason. Oh and you asked how much the game is going for when there is a TRADE IN VALUE right at the top of the damn page. I mean jeez, I can't help it anymore. I liked Magic King a lot better than you because he wasn't as stupid as you are sometimes. You can't fix stupid.

I think the only people on the team that have a problem with me is You and Magic king. But see, I can argue with Destro and bust his balls because I know him. I can play with him on NHL and HAVE a good time instead of being annoyed. Magic was alright but he did some stuff that pissed me off. Hell, ask Kaster. If you can't take the ball busting then don't play and I for one am glad to have Kaster as a new addition.

Here's the thing, I play with this league because I enjoy playing competitively and I like that everyone takes it seriously. I'm not a serious guy as you can tell and you clearly don't share my sense of humor which I can tell just by looking at your profile picture here. Anyone who thinks that posing in a department store wearing a 'wacky' hat is funny, is not someone I'd associate with in real life. Plus you say things like "you cant fix stupid" and you probably enjoy the comedy stylings of larry the cable guy. But if you wanna rage at people on forums because your overweight, poor, and quick to anger then have at it hoss. But maybe you should worry about that kid on the way rather then the stupid comments of some guy you play videogame hockey with twice a month.
 
Nice classy dig with the overweight comment. Way to stand out on the internet with a fat joke! Har har!
Yeah, please tell me how poor people play ice hockey? Please do inform me when I just got custom skates and paid for my rec league? You do know hocket equipment isn't cheap right? Or have you ever even looked into the sport beyond the game? I do worry about my kid, but I have played with you for over 2 months and you say stupid shit that pisses me off. I have played with others for years on end and are my best buddies because we understand each other and can bust balls. Trust me, it's a privilege to not know you outside of this board. Watch out for my whacky hats guys! Oh wait they still are my friends even if I wear whacky hats. Also, it's Ron White, not Larry the Cable guy. Get your comedians right. Hell I'll even UPDATE my profile picture for ya!

Let's all calm down people, no need to get all pissed at each other right when a new game is about to come out.

Calm Down. Move slowly. No loud noises.
 
Speaking of Kaster, I don't know if I'll be around for hockey nights before 12 comes out. My 360 is overheating about every 15 minutes or so. Plus, it's about 4 years old and it's RRoD-ed before, so I might not be back till I get a new one. Or maybe I'll try some DIY temporary fixes. Not sure yet. Either way, I'm not going to be around tomorrow until 11 at the earliest (if at all), my fake football draft takes precedence over the virtual hockey :p

I never had a problem with you Gary, I just always found a way to get under your skin and would uselessly defend myself afterwards. Trust me, you're not the only person I've ever pissed off here.

Yeah, but at least that night Gary was on his period.
 
By keeping the difficulty on "peaceful" lol.

Fun fact; assuming a block is about 1meter, the rink itself is to scale (the goal and lines/dots are off).

And I realized I forgot about the trapezoid...dangit.
 
Is it Olympic or NHL size?

Trading in NHL 11 today after gettng ripped off from EA for our EASHL Playoffs!

Boo. You suck.
 
[quote name='Vulcan2422']Better to suck then swallow right? We have UNO till then! It's not that far away really.[/QUOTE]

All right, finally got the year end evaluations ready. I've got them uploaded to Google Docs and it should be open for editing. I just pasted a bunch of tables with everyone's gamertag and their games played count in it, and then you can kinda just fill in what you want for the evaluation part. Should be pretty straight forward. Try to keep it somewhat civil, haha.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f11vETmgVZb8OPOQxdFIquDFtGjeS04-9ocXeR4FzPM/edit?hl=en_US

Also, hopefully I'll get the final stats calculated in the next couple days and make a new thread for 12. It'll actually be nice having two weeks between the last "season" of 11 and when 12 comes out. Putting together our highlight video should be a blast. I'm going to try to download all of the relevant videos from everybody's profiles, then if there's any more you guys have saved on your HD's you can upload them again and I'll get those added as well. I was telling Brandon the other night that we probably have enough clips to make a one hour documentary, haha.

I saved most of the relevant CAG team videos and pictures from everyone's EA profiles, so if you guys have any other good ones on your hard drives that would be good for our new highlight package, feel free to upload them, and I'll add them as well.
 
Nice feedback so far, I definitely tend to chase sometimes, and I guess I do need to see plays develop more, but I need examples of that.

Also, as I stated in my first marathon session this year on Saturday night, my worse fears confirmed... Lost power due to the hurricane at the last possible moment, and now they are saying I might be without it until Thursday(!)...

So I hope it shakes out better than that.

I'll keep checking in here.
 
yeah it really sucks but I mean, at the end of the day, it's just a huge inconvience other than all the food I'm gonna have to throw away. A little bit of a money waste.

I was more worried about trees around my place and nothing came down so I was lucky there. Today for work I'm basically wearing gym clothes, I didn't plan ahead and iron and do laundry, so I got screwed. I did have a little hot water left over from yesterday somehow so I could shower at least.

Gonna come up with a game plan now though, might go shower at my parent's so I can shave my head and face tonight so I don't look like a bum tomorrow. Then I can iron a few clothes.

In any case, thanks for the well wishes!
 
Sucks to hear Destro! At least everybody is alright! Did you bungie down the Propane tank? lol.

I will post up in the thing tonight. It doesn't work to well on the touch pad for some odd reason.

Also, I got 21 for trade in yesterday.
 
I hope everyone takes the time to read these evaluations and doesn't just gloss over them. Some important information in there for everyone.
 
Thanks again for all the well wishes, I thought I was out of the water cause my brother's friend works for the power company and told us we were on the same grid, and he had his power restored "convienently" But he isn't on the same I guess.

The power company told us we are on a grid with 600 people, and it's just a blown thransformer, so I'm screwed. Honestly, I don't see me getting power back until Friday, Wednesday if I'm lucky.

I had two football drafts tonight so it was fine, went to the bar with a bunch of the guys who also are in my league, I'm still here on my laptop. Tomorrow night I'll just go to the gym for like 2 hours hahaha.

It does totally suck though.

As far as the propane tank, I bungied the grill so it wouldn't move but it's a huge Weber, didn't see it going anywhere.

Like I said, thanks for the thoughts, we'll see what happens.
 
Appreciate all the feedback and mostly positive reviews. Thanks a lot, you guys.

So I preordered NHL 12 today, very excited to play with team at launch. Also planning on getting a 360 S to replace my old decrepit xbox, hopefully helping my connection issues. I'm not going to be able to join you guys if you do anything else with 11 until I upgrade my 360, but I'll be ready to go with 12!
 
I really like the evaluations even if I don't always know whose evals I'm reading until I scroll down and see that there's a blank spot or N/A in Sean's case next to their gamertags. I appreciate the fact that everyone's offering constructive criticism. I don't know if I can evaluate anyone at this point since I haven't played with you guys in months.
 
I don't have much to add to the Evaluation sheet. I think our 5 strongest players are the 5 core playoff roster guys and I haven't really played with anyone else. I will definitely play more than 133 games this year.

I think Brandon takes some penalties he doesn't need to from time to time would be the only thing I can think of, but I also think he is far and away the best scorer so the team can live with a few minutes down a man due to that.

I definitely feel I need to learn different positions better, maybe that will come with some time playing the game more, like I said, I should be able to double my games played at least this year.
 
I wish my teachers were as generous as you guys on evaluations. Stat mentioned I cross people up which is true I end up with way too many pucks that were intended for someone else. So I got to work on that and the other big problem mentioned about chasing. If I can stay out of the way and keep my ADD at bay It'll be a good day. Gary's gay. No actually gary's evaluation of me was pretty realistic for the most part. Mediocre indeed, but the learn to be serious part doesn't make too much sense as I hardly talk. Aside from the time that I guess I played goalie and dicked around which I don't really remember but gary apparently still has nightmares about.

On a side note I've been playing a lot of nhl 12 demo and was thinking about making a video about some reliable scoring techniques. If anyone has found any tricks to scoring in the demo let me know. A lot of my old bs doesn't work and the goalies seem to be much better 1 on 1. But definitely weaker against hard shots taken from good angles. But if you've got a reliable move let me know so I can replicate it, record it, and include it.
 
Yeah! One more person to add to the block list. I tried writing an evalution with out being a dick so what ever. Tired of aurging with somebody who thinks he's the best of the best. Buh Bye!


Anyways, I don't understand why the celebrations suck for NHL. The celebrations for Madden are awesome. NHL is really lacking. When was the last time you saw somebody score and just ignore his team mates? Never. I'm surprised they took out that cut scene honestly.

Also found this little gem. http://boards.ign.com/nhl_ea_sports/b6062/203005078/p1/?152
 
[quote name='Ltor']But definitely weaker against hard shots taken from good angles.[/QUOTE]

In my opinion, this kinda summarizes the best way to score just in general: playing angles, making good passes, and forcing mistakes (and we lose games when this is done to us). I'm sure there will be "tricks", but I'd rather everyone spend their energy learning how to be a complete player, rather than just figuring out what the bitch moves are.

I haven't played the demo in a few days, but shots I noticed that are "still there" are slapshots from the faceoff circles aiming near post, shots coming across the slot from right to left (for a righty) aiming for the left corner, and obviously, one on one chances with the goalie. However, these really only work when the defense is soft enough to let you take an open shot to begin with.

The way we get open for these shots is by making good passes. The way we prevent them is with good defensive positioning. To me, those are the only tricks we need. If we can create these types of shots and control the flow of the game, we will win. If we can't stop these types of shots and are constantly scrambling, we will lose. Pretty simple.
