Thread: NHL 11 News

TC- The other team is getting ALL of the lucky bounces. It's just so unfair. Like I said, we are not bad players. We are both on the wings (as of now) and we play defense, offense...and whatever else. We do everything to win, but still lose! Most of our games are 0-0 til halfway in the 2nd when the other team scores. Always seems like it comes right AFTER a powerplay for them. Weird.

Cardiac- I don't remember if I told you or not...but I can't join your team. I realised about a month ago that I would need another online pass since it's a different account. I was pissed.

nosoup (Kwan)- Yeah that was pretty annoying. I was going to try to play C again last night since I've been winning most of the faceoffs I take on the pk, but I kept forgetting lol. Remind me tonight if you see this. The only crappy part is I only have 1 move to win the faceoffs. If I face a cpu center, I'm probably screwed. About that cheese goal, I was constantly yelling "What the **** are we supposed to do?! No defense against that!" ...and that is by far the worst glitch goal ever. At least the pull and drag you could prevent most of the time. I don't want to have to play C just to make sure. It's BS.

Edit- Yeah, I know. It just sucks man. I'm sure you want to play as bad as Kwan and I want you to play, lol. This game is too hard and frustrating without you, D, and KLF.

Did you try it? I used my other account the other day and I was able to play online in HUT and VS mode.

Actually...I didn't. lol. I figured the online pass was just for 1 account, not the entire system. I will try it in a couple hours, but if it works I am going to hate earning everything again. I just hit legend the other night so this will be a pain in the ass, lol.

they scored 2 goals that way in a 3-2 loss for us.

It's the main reason why i always play on the left wing. I always go IN towards the dot after the drop of the puck and pokecheck. I stop those opportunities about 7 out of 10 times and haven't gotten called for a trip yet.

Reminds me of the time I messaged a glitcher for the pull-n-drag glitch and he responded to me calling it his "signature move."

Nonsense.

Except it's not a glitch, and if the defense is alert you can stop the pass or just tie up the Winger on the other side of the net waiting for the pass. Not only that, you can't do it on every faceoff setup. Only when the defending team has an aggressive fore-check set. Not illegitimate about it.

Max, Felix, I wish I could play more but my internet (that used to be able to handle 09 and 10) for some reason just can't cut it anymore and of course I live in a complex that does not have cable or fios or higher speed DSL access.

When I play it is really really hard for me cuz of the lag.

look for the Clearwire service (www.clearwire.com, www.rover.com) they will be live on december 1st. Wi-Max, so you buy a "puck" which is an 8 connection wireless router that can go where-ever you want. super fast speeds + no lag. also no contract from what I understand.

I'm so glad I didn't end up picking this one up on release. At this rate, I'll probably skip this installment altogether. It sounds like everyone playing this year's model has a gripe.

this sounded really cool until i went into their forums and people are complaining about paying $60 for 225kbs speeds even though they're within visual distance from the towers...

I'll let you know - I'll be getting one to mess around with and will report back.
