Pidesco Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I played the first game, plus all the demos, and I recall feeling that the games kind of lost something when the series went 3d. So I guess that I recommend that you play the first two games.

Kor Qel Droma Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Give the skill stick a few more games. It's not easy to get the hang of, but in the long run, it makes a much better hockey game. This IS NOT what is supposed to happen: This IS what is supposed to happen: You need to hit more often, Deraldin. And, assuming you're playing the 360 version, try using the R button and the skill stick to poke check the puck away from a player. Or use the left button to go down to one knee to block a shot. As for not being able to strip anyone of the puck, you do realize you're playing with the Habs, right? Not a very imposing team to say the least. Is Markov still on their roster?

As for not being able to strip anyone of the puck, you do realize you're playing with the Habs, right? Not a very imposing team to say the least. Is Markov still on their roster? Yeah, those were pretty horrible hit totals. Normally, I'm between 25-30. I'm not playing the 360 version. I'm playing on PC, but I'm using my Logitech gamepad. I honestly don't know how someone would play this on a keyboard. Yes I do still have Markov. I've only made a few substitutions. Halak has been sent down to the minors in favour of my created goalie. I traded Aebischer and someone else to Los Angeles for Ladislav Nagy and I picked up Martin Gelinas as a free agent. That's about it I believe. Markov is staying right where he is on my top line as my highest scoring defenceman, points wise at least. Souray has more goals, but Markov has more points. It's not like I'm trying to make runs at people with Koivu or Kovalev, although to be honest, my biggest hit came from Koivu, but he probably should have been called for charging on that play.

Hurlshort Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Wow, I didn't even know they had skill stick support for the PC, that's good to hear. Oh yeah, you really need to hit more, this isn't a girls league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, you really need to hit more, this isn't a girls league Yup. Skill stick works on the PC. And what would hitting people do? As Kor said, I'm playing the Habs. Unless you are charging the other guy, it's like running into a brick wall. I'm playing on PC, but I'm using my Logitech gamepad. How is it? The same as last year with roster updates? I wouldn't know. The last version I played was nearly a decade ago. Kor and Hurlshot might have a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kor Qel Droma Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I still haven't migrated to the XBOX live for the 360. Yet? So Hurly and/ or the Krookinator could probably fill you in on that. Seriously, though, about the hitting. You should still try to make more hits. It clears open ice. And creates turnovers and breakaways! Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, though, about the hitting. You should still try to make more hits. It clears open ice. And creates turnovers and breakaways! On the hitting, will this do? Hurray for shorthanded goals scored in the final 20 seconds! The Leafs came to me with a trade. Wanted Gorges and Halak for McCabe and Devereux (I know that's spelled wrong...). I ended up trading Cullimore, Murray and Halak for Toskala. I then went out and picked up Fischer and Yashin as free agents. Yashin replaced Begin on my fourth line and Fischer joined Hamrlik on my second defense pairing. I still hate those 40 foot wrist shot goals that everyone seems to be able to score except me.

Kor Qel Droma Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I really, really detest the shootouts. I'm just plain horrible at them, although I have picked up 14 points in ot/shootout losses. Game 81 is beckoning for me right now. In my first season the Oilers record is 42-24-14.

I'm currently 18-15-6 right now and sitting in 10th place in the east. That last screenshot broke a three game losing streak. Lost three straight games by a score of 2-1. The shootouts aren't so bad anymore now that I figured out how to score on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Yashin replaced Begin on my fourth line... OK, you automatically know a game is crap when it allows you to build a team that forces a player of Yashin's calibre to the fourth line. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Tale Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Trying to finish up Persona 3 before the release of Front Mission DS and Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Just finished off the 5th block of Tartarus. I think I may have done that early, so it's a good note for my progress. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

OK, you automatically know a game is crap when it allows you to build a team that forces a player of Yashin's calibre to the fourth line. I didn't say anything about him being forced to be on the fourth line. He's technically my highest rated forward. He's on the fourth line mainly because I didn't really want to break up the chemistry I had going with the first three lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karka Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I wanted to play something different than RPGs (CRPG and JRPG) and decided get some new games. And I ended up buying Killer 7 and Project Zero 3: The Tormented (aka Fatal Frame III: The Tormented) . Now, I'm playing the former one. I've been loving it so far. Really different and enjoyable.
