NHL09 PS3 Team

Nice turnout! Too bad my team is playing on Monday Night Football, hopefully some of you guys will be on tomorrow too.
 
You live in Cleveland, half the people on this board are Dallas fans... I'll have a lot of enemies here if Philly finishes well. :cool:

How are the games going tonight, are the Hard Bangers back on track?
 
I know I'm new to this but were gonna have to work on passing for puck possession, we're average 1 to 2 shots a period and have the puck for 10% of the time.

I'm a jets fan, I guess the bills didn't have enough money to buy us gifts for xmas so they just gave us the game instead

Haha actually you wont because Dallas will finish well ;)


But no, I had the first game with the HardBangers tonight and we are horrible :p I think we had like a 3 shot game...

But we were playing a 2 person team, and its alot easier because one of them was switching players and all that, so it is whatever.
 
That Dallas and eagles game at the end of the season is gonna be huge, sucks for the nfl it isn't going to be nationally televised.
 
lol who said I even like the browns =P

most people like them in cleveland, but don't care what they do anymore.


but yea tonights game was meh, we couldn't get any rebounds and won like almost no faceoffs which led to almost no offense.

we really need to practice working on setting up around the net for some nice passes. I know I'm always looking for people down there and usually getting passes out infront of the net but half the time no ones there or I HIT THE PUCK OVER THE GLASS BEHIND ME SOMEHOW /caps. lol its still doing that iced =P

im up for playing tonight if anyone wants to. my aim = my psn, send a message on either I guess
 
Yeah i'd be down if the iggles werent playing. Need to get my NHL game up.

But hey... Philadelphia Eagles are much more important right now
 
Aramik88 has joined us, he'll mainly play D and brings 50+ games of experience to our blue line. It looks like Tuesday at 8PM EST will be our first 'game night' so hopefully we can get a full team going again.

I also noticed Hardforum was down a bit tonight, at least for me. If there is ever an outage like that we can use the board provided by EASHL to meet up for games, it can be found here - http://www.eashlforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=552 and the link is also on the main page. If/when you register there make sure to request to join our team.

It sounds like faceoffs are a sore spot for the team, I know I've seen us either win all the draws or lose all the draws so it is very attribute dependent. We might have to have one of us create a player for faceoffs only and have only that player play center. If you are thinking of doing this, the Grinder type has the best starting faceoff rating at 85 followed by Playmaker at 80.
 
I could change my guy from a sniper to a playmaker, I'm usually pretty good with passing in the offensive zone which I think would be helped by the playmaker attributes.
 
Sounds good. Snaggle has been our go-to Center so far so you two can split the duties I guess and that way we're covered if one of you can't make a game.
 
played a few games last night, i wasn't in any condition to try playing hockey, and it showed.

nice to play with 4 people on the ice though, things are definitely looking up as far as forming a cohesive unit.

how did the lady like her coke-laced DS cases? :p

yea that prolly had something to do with us losing every face-off ;)
 
she had no idea, i hit them all with some nail polish remover and a rag. that takes everything off of everything. she didn't notice the red stuck pixel on the DS either. excellent. it wouldn't have been a deal breaker if i was buying the system, personally. i didn't even notice it until i played FF3.


edit: the lacing was from long ago, just to clear things up. that junk is no good for anyone.
 
I am usually always going to the net, I am pretty good there for screens/deflections/rebounds...
 
Yea sorry man I was out watching the devils and leafs game last night. I'll most likely be on some time tonight
 
No problem, I should be on later tonight as well. I have to do some overtime work between 8 and 9 EST but I should be free after that.
 
I'll be on in 30 minutes or so, I don't care if we play with just 2 since I only need 1 game to qualify for the next card... also need a B- though.
 
Good games tonight guys. Now that I have my vet card I'll create a grinder for faceoffs and dump all 11 points into the skill, although RayZab was hot on the draw at the end there. Then once you guys get a few more attributes someone that actually enjoys center can take over.
 
did we win that last game?

edit - nvm saw the message =P grats on the 2 goals finally after like 20 good shots
 
RayZab scored both, it was nice to finally get a few in since that was the third or fourth game in a row where we had a ton of good chances yet barely scored.

Anyway, I created a grinder with 96 in faceoffs. He sucks in everything else offensive though so I'm not sure if it is worth it. I think a playmaker with 91 may be the better option.
 
Nice update Iced.

Glad to see we have plenty more people coming out now, that's awesome.
 
I think a 91 in faceoffs should be good enough. I won about 40% of faceoffs in the 3 games last night and that was with an 78 rating.

Those 3 games were definitely good last night. A lot of our chances came when we slowed down on offense and cycled the puck around in the offensive zone, it opened up a lot of chances in front of the net since it seemed like most defensive players collapsed to the net, so when we were moving the puck around the perimeter it opened it up a bit.
 
i have nhl 09 for ps3 can i join this team ?
how do i go about doing this ?
 
I wish I had a PS3...

...there's a new exploit on the 360 version that allows people to increase their character ratings to 99 for every category =\

with regards to faceoffs, i find i either win them all or none at all. ratings+latency matter.

i definitely agree with slowing down the offense and cycling the puck around.


and of course, the more the merrier, our team name is Hard Bangers. Post your psn id or add any of the members of the team (the names on page one are our psn id's) and we'll get things rolling.

that sucks, it's never any fun when an exploit like that surfaces.
 
You should edit the post so the current roster shows the forum names then the psn names then the position and put it in a table like the stats

Forum | [PSN] | Position

IcedEmotion [basstek] -- LW, LD
Snaggletooth [d3br34k5] -- C
Movieesa [mucdlihc891] -- RW
Lamil [kevkevsnowskate] -- LW, RW
DaRat [echoshizzle] --
Zach9Parise [rayzab] -- C
Bowhuntr11 [bowhuntr11] -- LW, RW
 
I'll get the roster/positions looking pretty as well, good idea. As part of that I would like to add player type so we can get an idea of who has what stats and so on. So everyone please post your player type (Sniper, Playmaker, etc) and your card status (found under the performance tracker, press R1 to change to online).
 
Last night was fun, let me know if any of you are going on tonight, message me on PSN if I'm on or I'm always on AIM and will most likely respond right away, my screenname on AIM is rayzab64.
