Yes, although even if everyone on our team skips, if one guy on the other team doesn't skip we still have to wait.mixdj1 wrote:So I'm assuming that's why I kept seeing "Waiting on other players" last night?Naples39 wrote:#2 - For the love of god, please skip most replays and the cutscenes we see over and over again.

Finally! Now, if we can only play ourselves, we might get a chance to win.Zeppo wrote: One more thing - it is possible for us to play multiple Club games at once. Basically, you fill one dressing room and start a game, and then once that game is underway, others can gather in the dressing room and head on out.
Although, it won't do anything for our record. Good games last night, I was on the losing end only once. I wish I had better understading of the game, though, I find myself making dumb decisions all the time.Thats cause you were with meMACTEPsporta wrote: Good games last night, I was on the losing end only once.

...I know of one great pass you made.Ditto. I would accept Zeppo's invites and then the session was over as soon as I clicked OK. Fortunately I managed to play the league games but I was the only one lagging.ScoopBrady wrote:I don't know what was going on last night but I couldn't get into the private matches for anything. I rebooted, signed out of my profile, signed back in, power cycled my router.
Yeah, we had good understanding upfront yesterday. I remember you setting me up a few times, and I assisted on a couple of your goals.XXXIV wrote:Thats cause you were with meMACTEPsporta wrote: Good games last night, I was on the losing end only once.

Also... I would appreciate it if Zeppo would stop trying to poke my eye out.
I think last night it was just our turn to be screwed and left out.DrCosta wrote:I did shut of system and even unpluged cable and started again and the same thing happened, funny thing is I can do a shootout mode online, just the OTP was giving me the error, maybe after I bang my head on the table long enough it will finally work!
That was a pretty infectious laugh. You had us all going for a bit there:) Classic.nyisles16 wrote:Never laughed so much as to the time where there was a loose puck in front of the one goalie. Me and another forward were going around just doing the cross check animation, instead of picking up the puck..
PS - now made myself as a sniper that can fight...
You sir, should change your jersey name to "AutoPenalty".XXXIV wrote:Thats cause you were with meMACTEPsporta wrote: Good games last night, I was on the losing end only once. I wish I had better understading of the game, though, I find myself making dumb decisions all the time.

Since this is a "toggle", is there any way to tell what position it's in to start a game or do you just hit the back button once at the beginning of the game and then never touch it again?ScoopBrady wrote: Jack, it's a must to shift focus to the puck while online. It defaults to keep focus on your player. The first time I got online I was totally confused with where the puck was and who had possession of it. When I changed focus to the puck it was easy to control myself even if I was offscreen and adjust to the puck. I play with the classic cam focused on the puck. It's just like the single player game. Give it a try.

I wait to see where the focus is and press it once if I need to. I never really take the focus off of the puck as I think it's easy to adjust with my character offscreen rather than the puck being offscreen.JackB1 wrote:Since this is a "toggle", is there any way to tell what position it's in to start a game or do you just hit the back button once at the beginning of the game and then never touch it again?ScoopBrady wrote: Jack, it's a must to shift focus to the puck while online.

The default is to stay on the puck, I believe, unless you are playing goalie. In either case, you can tap the button during the faceoff and it should be pretty apparent what the focus is. As you said, for the most part, you will set it once and forget it. In rare cases, you may want to toggle quickly back and forth, particularly if you are the goalie as it lets you see the action down-ice.JackB1 wrote:Since this is a "toggle", is there any way to tell what position it's in to start a game or do you just hit the back button once at the beginning of the game and then never touch it again?ScoopBrady wrote: Jack, it's a must to shift focus to the puck while online.

I do just the opposite on defense. I keep in locked on me at all times except when the puck is deep in the offensive zone. I can park on the blue line and then switch to watch where the puck is.Zeppo wrote:Jack, I only use the 'follow the guy' mode when I'm playing Defenseman or goalie. With the D-man I pretty much use it when we are in the Offensive zone to try to stay right on that blue line and keep an eye on the cherry pickers, but I don't toggle it away from the puck all that much. As goalie, I toggle it a lot to follow the action up the ice. As a forward, I keep it locked on the puck at all times.
Right, i usually snap it back to the puck once I figure out where I am in relation to that blue line.RobVarak wrote:I do just the opposite on defense.

This is actually my biggest problem with NHL. I got used to pressing the "BACK" button in FIFA when playing upfront, and it is seemless now. I use my left hand to press that button, which means I have to release the left stick. Not a big problem in FIFA since you do this when you are not involved in the play. In NHL it's a whole other story. Releasing the left stick will result in losing precious momentum, which is very frustrating, since that half second could mean a loss of posession. I think in hockey they need to assign that button to "start" or one of the bumpers/triggers.Zeppo wrote:Right, i usually snap it back to the puck once I figure out where I am in relation to that blue line.RobVarak wrote:I do just the opposite on defense.

I do wish it were tweaked a bit so that when you follow your player, it would keep your guy at the bottom of the frame when the puck is in the neutral or offensive zone rather than in the center of the frame. That would help and allow me to keep from having to toggle. That damn Guide button is so HUGE right next to the teeny tiny Back button!
