Question about the Boost Pack:

The offensive d-man boost pack states that you must win the cup in Battle for the Cup mode with every team. I read on EA's forum that you do not get the boost pack if you play single elimination games. Has anyone else heard this? Are we allowed to sim games at all during the process?

That was my plan...that kinda sucks. EA's goals to win any of these equipment boosts are ridiculous.

Lame. EA is doing this crap intentionally just so people will buy the damn thing and they can roll around in some more cash.

I just found out first hand that simming is ok.

So we can sim, but it has to be a 7 game series? (Just one round right?)

Yeah. I wanted to complete the Stanley Cup and Calder Cup combo so I played the first game of both series, simmed the next two wins and played the clincher. The unlocked gear notice came up on the main menu after I exited the Battle for the Cup mode.

Ah okay cool. I'm going to try to unlock this Offense Defensemen Boost Pack again. Gotta start over with the Ducks and work my way down.

I put 7 game series, Rookie Mode, 4 minute periods.

It makes me start the game as if I'm playing it. But when the game loads up, I just quit. Go to the calendar and sim. The Ducks beat the Blues 4 games to 1 by simming.

Now I just picked Atlanta against the Avs. Thrashers up 3-2 in the series and was losing 2-1 going into the 3rd. I quickly decided to "intervene" and now I won the cup after scoring two quick goals. The only downside is that I have to watch the Stanley Cup celebration though.

Anyway, hopefully this works. I'm sick of the lamers who just buy this stuff.

Good thinking.

Today I went into grind mode and knocked out the Play A Game With Every German League Team achievement. Holy ****

Somewhere between the Kassel Huskies and the Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers I decided to start up the game and just leave the controller alone until the period ended. A quick note: LA Kings draft pick Constantin Braun is pretty dominant for the Berlin Polar Bears.

What a pain in the ass.

On my PS3 I just turn off the controller and it skips the celebration and goes to the plug in controller/select sides thing...then I turn it back on and go back to my team.
