We will be doing a server restart at 1am Pacific/4am Eastern to release a new tuner update - V1.01
V1.01 (effects all modes, except offline with V1.00)
-Small adjustment to goalie hug post to reduce vulnerability to far side goals coming around the net
-Small adjustment to guard the near post on shots
-Increase skating friction while doing protect puck (pretty small amount)
-Reduce stick lift penalties (hitting the hands is not a penalty now)
OTP Specific Changes:
-Disable hip checks (only in OTP/EASHL for now, but want input on this before we change it for Versus as well) The change makes hip check ineffective, but a proper fix will come in our 2nd patch
-Call interference on medium hits more strictly (0.4 to 1.0 – NOTE: not necessarily 100% because other factors are involved)
-Make poke check radius bigger (scale from 1.0 to 1.1)
Please play a few games and get a feel for the changes. The most noticeable being the poke check and the disabled hip checks in OTP.
hey guys ive been playing online alot lately...ive been wondering a few things... what is the best forecheck to use and also what type of defensive pressure would you guys use if the penguins are the team you use most. its weird some i dominate and others i get dominated. also im looking for a team to get on for the team play....pm if interested.
anyone notice a difference in wrap around goals... i feel like everyone keeps trying to do it to me and some it works way more often then i think is realistic...
Need some advice here. I think I have hit a wall as far as advancing my EASHL defensemsan by playing drop in games. It seems like 75% of the games i get into are full of mouth breathing ******s who do nothing but chase the puck all game long.
In order to advance my guy to Superstar 1 I need a B+ average but because I am actually trying to play my position well and not really concentrate on scoring, my stats and team play grades suffer. It is especially frustrating to see other defensemen joining in every rush and because they get a lucky goal every once in awhile their grades skyrocket despite the fact that their play has actually cost the team ~ breakaway chances per game.
Is there anyway to actually play my position well and get the grades I need to advance despite being on a team full of ******s who think about nothing but scoring?
In NHL 11 if you played as a defensive defenseman a single point would give you an A for stats. Just hit lots of guys and don't turn it over to get your A+ in teamplay.
Pocket i got mine last night, just play good D and you should get atleast A, B, A and your rating wont go down. But wait till you get it and see whats needed for the next Ledgends 1 :x
Make your passes, dump the puck from the right position and take some shots on target you should be able to get A,A,A. i managed it on a game lossing 3-1 cause a **** manual goalie.
October season starts today, no? In any case I'm ready muh' ****ers. Sorry about the games last night, I was in pretty rough shape. Feeling alert and ready to take on the world today!
whoa now, i probably work the most out of you kids and i have logged a lot of time, mostly grinding in OTP. i didnt play last week because I was livin it up in LV =p
