Volourn Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Here's part 2 to the 'awesomest post ever' (typos included): I'm the first one tod efend NHL 09/NHL 08/EA from the likes of Abiner, and his ilk; but as much fun as I'm having with NHL 098; there are quite a few annoying problems - espicially in the online sueprstar mode. 1. Everybody knows about the stat reset. Beforehand, I was 7-6 with very good stats, and since then I've been 2-10 with lacklustre stats. Will EA have a way to fix such unfairness? At least give me a full reset. L0L You reste my good stats so reset my bad stats. L0L 2. The game freezes a good amount when loading up a EASHL game. This makes one suffer losses. About half my losses from before and after the reset ar ebecause of this. I should be something like 7-4, and 2-6 respectively before/after the reset. Interetsingly enough, once I'm in the game, it';s very stable, and I don't crash. Ever. It's dumb to suffer a loss because you crashed when you didn't even get in the game yet. 3. Computer should take more penalties. Thanks. I often get slashing penalties with stick left (which is fair); but the computer nearly never does. 4. The following issue is more a rant against the peons you get stuck playing in the game. It's common fact that user goalies tend to be worse than computer goalies so it's annoying when someone gets stuck with goalie they'll quit. This, for soem reason, often happens against me which means I'm stuckl on a team with a human goalie trying their best but sucking versus a computer goalie who makes theft after theft. L0LLERZ@ Overall, it's a very fun game; but it certainly has issues. P.S. EA, fix my stats! I'm a stats ***** - but fair one - and, I hate it when my stats don't reflect my actual level of play. At least in 08, when you did crash before the start of the game, you didn't get an auto loss for it. Urgh. I mean, with my 2-10 record, I am still somehow managing a +1. That's because half of those games I lost when I didn't even play! HAHA! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'm not surprised the online play is buggy, it's the same with every EA sports game. They make some fixes every year, but one issue is the fact these games only really last a year. So every year they introduce a new title with new bugs. MMO's usually take the first year to get really stable, and they also have the benefit of a longer development time. EA has created a very difficult task for their developers. Anyways,s orry to hear about the wipe. Hopefully we'll see a patch soon that should fix stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 "it's the same with every EA sports game" Nah. 09 is a lot more buggy than 08 certainly was. I'v enever really had a problem with Madden either. Those are the only two EA games I've really played online so *shrug*. Until they get the EASHL issues fixed, I'm just gonna avoid one fo the features I was really looking forward. Certainly hurts an otherwise awesome game.

Krookie Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I haven't even touched the online yet, save for trying to get in a game with Hurlshot. Be a Pro will last me long enough until they get a title update out to fix the major bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kor Qel Droma Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 After 43 games in the pros, I finally earned my first hat trick. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krookie Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) Started a new game because the Devil's offense is TERRIBLE. 30 games and my center had 40 goals and only 10 assists because Elias and Roloston can't finish for their lives. Not to mention that I had played half the games the other centers had but they still only combined for 8 goals. Now I'm on the Sharks AHL team but I haven't played my first game yet.

Volourn Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Um.. instead of quitting entirely, why not play out your contract and then join a new team as free agent? Hmmm.. Anyways, EASHL seems to be working smmother now so it is safe for everyone to take part. My stats are still sabatoged but hopefully, I cna fix them through sheer skill and determination. R00fles!

Kor Qel Droma Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Nah, I just cleared the cache on my sexbox (which, incidentally you can do by going to the memory screen, press 'y' then 'x,x,lb,rb,x,x'), and after that it worked fine.

wesley2 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 My next purchase is lined up for the xbox 360: NBA 2k9. Definitely incredibly excited for this one and they've made a few really awesome changes since last year's game. The big on for me is the ability to change your shot in the air which means that every time I drive the lane on the Bulls I'm not going to get my ass blocked and I can actually adjust my lay in and make it.

Kor Qel Droma Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Well, I finished my first season. My team lost in seven games in the conference finals. I sucked pretty bad during the post season, but I must have impressed somebody, since I ended up winning the rookie of the year award, despite finishing second in rookie scoring. I simmed ahead to the next season, and the whole makeup of my team has changed drastically. So much so I'm going to restart Be A Pro, except this time I'm going to try being a dangler, not a sniper.

Krookie Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Has anyone tried being a playmaker? I think you've got to get like 59 assists which seems ridiculous considering I only have 12 in 38 games, unless your linemates are more likely to score when you're playing as one.

Volourn Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I'm a playmaker, and I have 11 goals, and 9 assists in 24 games. L0L I try to pass; but *shrug*. What can ya do. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krookie Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) Yeah, atm I have 46 goals and 12 assists in around 40 games Edited September 22, 2008 by Krookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Do you guys pass to the point? I've got 12 goals and 10 assists in 16 games as a power forward center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krookie Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Yeah, I try to work the points sometimes but I find that the opposing wingers can pick off the pass before it makes it to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kor Qel Droma Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I find my d-men totally miss the pass back to the point more often than not. And my team doesn't like to shoot pucks at the net, it seems to be my job somehow to score empty netters. Every time i dish off the puck and hit the right bumper they always seem to **** it up somehow. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Volourn Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) "Do you guys pass to the point?" Despite my 90% pass rating, my passes to the point tend to go wild or when I do pass it right, the D acts like an idiot. ie. They have alreayd elft the zone. This even happens soemtimes in 'normal' mode. L0L The AI plays too rigid sometimes, and doesn't use creativity. (not too surprising, though). "And my team doesn't like to shoot pucks at the net" Wweird. My teammates have no problem shooting the puck.

Llyranor Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Did you guys even manage to get a single session together? Geez, this is GTA4 all over again. I guess I should get my 360 fixed instead of playing PS3 and PC games lol (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
