another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

I put it in Rest Mode and it finished installing.

Really the only mode I play is Be A GM, so I've got it made. I'm OCD about Captains and took the Monsters' C from Jan Hejda and gave it to Ryan Craig to match real life, with each having a corresponding happiness change. That's...gonna take some getting used to.

So I miss playing EASHL with goons. Have the game for XB1, been playing a lot of HUT and I'm at a halt in progression so I'm just doing collections which gets boring after a while. Any teams looking to add a free agent?

I'm testing out Be A GM as CBJ for the eventual Be A Pro that I run in the spring.

1) There is a bug that causes the game to crash to the desktop if I am making the #1 OVR pick (which would be a 99 OVR prospect that I created in the same style as goons from last year)

2) In an effort to trade down, I proposed the following trade

BUF gets: #1 OVR pick
CBJ gets: #2 OVR pick

BUF rejects this trade, as they are not getting enough value.

I once received an offer in NHL 11 or 12 from Winnipeg offering two Blake Wheelers for Rick Nash.

The game is alright so far, but I hate the menus.

Did they do away with the customizable music and goal horns or am I too dumb to find them? That was one of my favorite things about NHL 14- inserting funny situational-appropriate music.

It has been discussed many times and said over and over there is no such thing as "Ice Tilt". The EA Development team has no code written into the game to give one team an advantage over another. From now on any thread, or post about it will be deleted. If you continue to post about "Ice Tilt" after your posts are hidden you will be warned and banned.

How does a team even give up 12 breakaways in a single outing. Short of trolling or gimmick games that's impressive. I'm not even sure I've seen an otp game with more than 7 or 8 in quite some time.

Even one and a half horrible d-men might give up that many (it's not even that many for triple OT) if one always pinches and the other tries to land a hit near the blue line every time.

Anyone know how to get sniper class player to improve on skating in bap? All my points go to different shooting skills, passing and few others but never on speed, acceleration or agility. Seems like I can't change anything on the training menu.

Only poke/stick lift/hit at appropriate times? I feel like if you're taking a lot of penalties it's due to your play style rather than discipline rating.

Yeah, that wasn't really my question. Just seems odd to have a stat that can go down but not up.

the internet makes you stupid
I spent the weekend playing hut and moved 5 divisions into division 4.

I think I realized the secret to winning in HUT easily is while defending, don't bother "switching" to the player closest to the puck and let the computer continue to defend the opposing team for you if that makes any sense. Most players do switch while defending and since the controls are so brutal, they end up just screwing up the defense to allow goals against. I literally do not switch players when the opposing team is on the rush against 2 of my defenses, I will be a forward and come back to help.

Anyways, I am trying to get the "I'm the best" trophy and once the HUT trophies are done, I'll try to find an active club in EA SHL since The Neighborhood won't let me in their club. :fuckoff:

Hope that tip helps someone!

It seems like it goes up for me when I can play games without getting any penalties, and I think you get more Discipline for drawing penalties as well. Drawing penalties happens so rarely though that I'm not sure if that's the stat that pops up when you draw a penalty or not. Since I'm playing power forward in Be A Pro my Discipline is pretty much permanently trending downward because of all the interference, boarding, and fighting penalties :v:

Nope, and the PS4 team is pretty much dead (if that's what youre referring to). The Neighborhood has at this point become a Bone Team™

This is definitely a way to play especially because player switching is not that great in this game. Also switching players too much may make the already confused AI even more confused. There are people that are going to get mad though, because "you let the AI play defense" while you playing defense with the lowest offensive player.
