Yeah, hence the jersey suggestions a few pages back. We can't customize the colors this year. You have to use the in-game jerseys as you find them.

Looks like the skating is much improved. Skaters move smoothly. Frame rate looks better than 15.

Those balloon icons are a total distraction. At least get rid of the opponents grey ones.

Why allow customization of the skating blades. I've seen neon green to pink blades, just ridiculous.

Cause that's what the fans wanted! :roll:


Those devs sucked, we would have multiple banners if we played them in the playoffs. :P

For those like I who had to work today....I started watching it on Twitch on my pc. Through the first twenty....This is GEEK CITY! :P

http://www.twitch.tv/easportsnhl/v/8984607

1) Hey buddy. Turn off the messaging. Its really annoying. Every other second? For the first 5-6 minutes...I really would love to play chess for money against these guys. They are ALWAYS not thinking and one move behind.

2) They say the they want feed back on the game play? For balancing before launch. They can still change game play mechanics 6 weeks before game launch?

3) It does look good though I do hope they will have a camera a bit higher up. Cause that wont work at all for playing defense.

No problem. I am laser focused on training camp (the beta :)).

I can see playing all of them except Sniper and Enforcer. The defensive and goalie ones look interesting too. I want to try goalie this year.

Beta shows up to download in the Xbox store on the console if you go to friends and search for rammer34 and view his recent games it will show he played the beta, click view in store then download from there, only works on the console, can't find it on xbox.com. I get home from work a few minutes past 4pm eastern, will create a team for us then so we can be ready to go tonight. I believe Tampa and Chicago are the only teams to choose from in the beta.

I'm downloading it now. If u want I can create the team. Im Guessing it's a simple process. Don't want to step on Merv's shoes though....that's why I'm asking permission :)

I happened to wake up early today and downloaded it.

It took a bunch of team hopping but I got in two games.

You see a lot less superhuman figure skating with the puck. Puck collisions are way up, but passing and positioning is better. Routine passes will work better, but defenses are much smarter about getting their sticks on passes or muting shots.

I think a patient positional game will work much better than ever before in this series.

Maybe a bunch of dumb asses are trying to play with all snipers?? Bottom line, for the past 2 seasons :) Vadar, XXXIV, 7 and myself have gotten beat more than we win but we play, I believe, selfish hockey. That should help us!

As far as what team/uniform we eventually go with...the Milwaukee Admirals was a good suggestion. It's close to our current colors. There is a team with a dragon in the logo but the colors are red. Something we can discuss up until the launch of the game.
