My Be A Pro is always A+ Position, A+ Team, F Stats.

It's been happening to pretty much everyone. I think Littman addressed it in his blog, or something like that. I've been lucky enough to not have that problem yet.


I have to say that I enjoy BAP much better on the wing than at center. Can't wait to get the LGK team going.


There's nothing like lifting Orpik's stick and stealing the puck, then dishing it to Datsyuk in the slot.

hows your guys game running? mines a little slow, Im sure its just because it's the downloaded demo. It just seems like my shots lag about a half second.

Little bit of a FPS drop during cutscenes, but in normal play it runs fine.

yea I re-downloaded it and it runs fine in game, I have the same problem with the cut-scenes but I'm sure they will fix that. Is the release date the 9th or the 11th?

I think the ship date is the 9th, and in stores the 10th or 11th.

That was the case last year. Best Buy didn't have it on the 10th so I checked Circuit City and they had it.

You know, when you say things like that it makes me realize just how much I suck at this game.

I'm reading lots of stuff online now about the Be A Pro LEAGUE mode that we're doing. There are no line changes, since we're using our own Player, and that we're "leveling" them up.

That's personally a bummer for me, since no line changes are unrealistic as hell... but if that's they way it has to be, I'm okay with that. Just wanted to point that out to people here who are unaware.

Ooh, that does kinda suck. At least it's in the non-online version.

While it sucks, how else were they going to do it? There will be a day when 20-on-20 online play is a reality, but for now, it'll do.

The concern I'm having is "your" player's fatigue with online play. How is that being pulled off?
