NHL09 PS3 Team

Ya, we at least need to practice a way of getting it into the zone for consistent pressure. After that we just need to get more good shots, and then it's a question of do we try and do the cheese stuff if the other team starts it. I don't really want to do the last second one-timers if we don't have to.
 
well first thing's first, everyone should be scoring B+ or A in position score.

second, if the lead puck carrier can carry it over the blue line for a scoring chance, awesome, but if we're about to get rocked we should take the hit but dump it into the opposite corner. trying to make that last second pass under pressure is alot touger than dumping it in. force them to try and recover it under a heavy hitting forecheck.

we've actually done that to some success.

we'll play around with some of the in-game strat settings tonight, possibly adjust our defensive setup to combat the goal-line chesse-show.
 
Sounds like a good plan. I also might switch to an offensive defenseman next time, I'll have to compare the stats and see how they stack up.
 
what time will you guys be getting on today? I should be out of here around 430 today so I should get home around 5-6 hopefully. We can get on then or if you want to get on later thats fine because I only got an hour of sleep last night and may pass out when I get home :p
 
I'm not sure if or when I'll be on tonight. If it does happen it will be a couple hours.
 
Well I didn't make it online last night but I'll be on tonight around 9EST, possibly a bit earlier. Did you guys play any games last night?

Also it looks like we now have a team forum over at EASHLforum.com. I'm not sure if we'll use it yet, but it might come in handy if we need more players or want to trash talk with other teams registered there. If you register there make sure you add yourself to our team.

ya i passed out at 6 and woke up at midnight so I ended up not getting on =P
 
I think I'm narrowing in on my final character and what his stats will be. I wasn't happy with defensive d-man, and it looks like offensive d-man has the lowest defensive awareness in the game so that's out. I think I'll stick to Dangler, bump his defensive awareness and shot a bit and then I can play either LW or D when needed.
 
I just got home, I'll be ready in 20 or so. Later than I expected, sorry.
 
in dressing room. just start game when you get in and ill see it on the tv and pick up the controller =P

That one sucked, since it was late in the third when it happened.

We did fairly well last night although I think the majority of the teams we faced weren't that good. I don't know what we are doing wrong with scoring though, but at least we were getting decent shots.

I should be on tonight I think, need to keep grinding out the game totals to get more attribute points.
 
Well we might be hovering around division 10, but there's hope for us. That LoBos team we beat tonight is ranked 23rd overall.
 
nice. I won't be back until monday night though =\ out of town for the weekend -_-

it was nice of them to not cheese-ball us even thought they could've. it was amazing we came out of that with a win.

:D
 
anyone else want to join our [H] team?

winning record!

i'm in for tonight, will be playing during the leafs game, 7est start.


also, any chance of linking our eashl team page on the OP, iced?


105 games is the next spot i'll get attribute points.

i think it's (roughly, from memory) 25 games, 65 games, 105 games, 165 games... not sure after that.
 
I'll see what I can link to. There's no way to link to the official ranks from EA as far as I know, but I haven't checked in depth. I can however update our rank and stats every Monday on the main post if you guys like. For personal stats do you want me to use the player names or just our forum name?

I already have links to our Forum on EASHLforum.com, but that's just a fan made site and nothing official. You can join the team listing on there if you like and it might help our recruiting efforts in the future if we go that route.

We do need players though, so if any hockey fans out there don't have the game yet go pick it up for PS3 or ask for it for Christmas. Online team play is a lot of fun, best online sports game I have played yet.
 
hrm, i thought for sure there was an official site.... i'll look into that also.

a monday update of records/personal stats would be great, actually. perhaps just the forum name with regards to that, since i used my real name for my online team play character...

not that it matters, anyone here on the forum can find that info out if they wanted to. :p


i still do have a couple of people who will be joining our team, probably after the holiday season. whether or not they'll help or hinder is up for discovery.


damn, i gotta head out for the game... friend is insisting i show up to his maple-leafs party... as an edmonton oilers fan. oh well. i'll be home after 9pm or so and i'm lookin to play some NHL09 for sure.
 
I will be home around 9ish so I'll get on either at 9 or shortly there after. If I'm not doing Life at home then I'm home and will be getting on =)
 
Guess I'll catch you guys after 9 then.

Edit: Updated the main post, let me know if you can think of anything else to add.
 
nice work on the OP. and sorry i couldn't make it last night, damn leaf loving friends.. :p
 
my 320gb hdd arrived today, just in the process of restoring everything to this new drive.

i'll be on later based on PSN download speed :p

(don't expect me to play tonight)

i'm gonna try and get on when it's all good and back to the way i remember my ps3.


ps: everyone should fight a little bit more. 1 or 2 fights a game (total, for everyone) would give people more feeling of, 'these guys are into it and i like it'.

i love hockey fights.
