Thread: PS3 NHL09 online Club

I just learned how to do the deflection move (L1)! And last week I learned how to skate backwards (L2)...I never used the left trigger buttons except to block a pass.

Just goes to show you never stop learning...maybe I can play better for the team now.

you know you can use the right stick forward to call for a one timer after you pass to a computer controlled guy, right? Took me forever to figure that out. you can get computer scores a lot more that way.

You did a really nice job of moving the puck in the offensive zone last night. I hate playing this defensive defenseman, he's slower than dogpoop and I can't catch up to anyone after I make one of my many mistakes on D.

I may have to switch back to winger.

How about celebrating tonights win by playing?? anyone?

Good games. On the one we won I could hear the other team through the whole game.

I'm getting frustrated with online play. I think I am 1 - 9 in my last 10 games. I just can't score all of a sudden. Heck, I'm lucky to hit the net. Heck, I'm lucky if I can enter the zone! Why is it everyone can poke check and stick lift me with the greatest of ease, but if I dare even TRY a stick lift I get a penalty?? What am I doing differently than everyone else? Am I holding the button down too long or something?

Grrrr.

Basically anything that is intended to repeatedly exploit AI weaknesses, and scores on a much higher percentage than real life.

Ya I have seen the skating backwards.

Oh I see, Now sometimes when I get the puck in the corner I go to the slot (from right to left) then when im in the slot I shoot back to the left, it seems pretty reliable, because the goalie is moving to his left and leaves right side open, would that be considered a "cheesy" goal?

not to me, only if the goalie does one of those stupid ass split type saves when totally unnecessary, or lies down when someone approaches their close post from behind the net and leaves the whole top of the net exposed.

no fing way that any pro goalie would do that. except for hasek, of course.

Fisch and I got manhandled last night by basically one guy on their team that was very, very skilled.

and as much as I hate playing D, it is virtually impossible to beat a team that has a good scorer without having someone back there. too bad I suck at it. hahaha

Yeah, that was a bad game.
