Hang on - I always save the downloaded roster updates I get when I jump on EASHL...does this overwrite my own updates?

Unless you have it set up specifically not to (for example, you have your regular rosters saved as "Plubby's Rosters")... then it will probably overwrite Rosters 1, or whatever the default roster file is called.

I'm not 100% sure... but if you put her on Latvia and she's come back, then it must... because the National teams are the only teams in the game who's players don't end up on the free agents list in Be A Pro or Dynasty.

*facepalms*

Oh well, we beat Tampa, and I personally put two past Patricia Roy () so it'll do for now

[JStarr]

Hell, I beat her 4-2, so I decided to just leave her. At this point, I consider her sort of like Manon Rheaume, but with talent.

Sure...but Ms. Rheaume was a sexy beast.

For all the Ladha kids' big numbers, she sure is easy to figure out... which makes me wonder... are the numbers just for show?

One would hope so. I don't think EA would be all about gamers throwing their controllers against the wall just to make one little cancer patient happy. After all, they do still have to sell games despite the word of mouth.

And yes, Manon was quite tasty. Possibly still is, I may have to Google.

EDIT 2: And she's still connected to the game, too. Nice.

There's a patch upcoming for NHL 09. In the recap I read at pastapadre.com it didn't specifically mention the toe drag but shooting accuracy has been turned down while on the rush and turning quickly etc, so that should help.

In EASHL overtime will now be 5v5 rather than 4v4 and it will be continous, so no shootouts. Shame really, I liked the set up but I guess it is good for teams that play with 5 skaters so none of them have to sit out. Plus it means the result of the game won't come down to CPU v CPU on a shoot-out.

Another fix is that for an own goal the proper cut scene will play, showing the defender who scored it being upset rather than sometimes celebrating with the opposition team as if he was playing with them. I experienced such when Wade Redden scored an own goal against the Devils, treacherous fag

Best news, though, is that they've made it so if you press the vision control and try a one timer, it won't try to check at all, it will always try to shoot. I'm sure Dragsy will be most pleased with this one

I had Cujo put one in then celebrate with the guy who was awarded the goal. Twas fucking hilarious.

Now THAT'S the sort of thing we should be able to record for highlights.

And hurray for vision control one-timers. Boo to eradication of the shootout, just rotate the human players FFS.

[JStarr]

Anyone had a player getting helped off injured, and on the bench in front of him sit two players...one from each team?

Lecavalier seems to like killing people in my BAP game, and it's twice this season I've seen "Um, dude, your bench is over there." "Oops, sorry." Just very odd.

[alldaws1]

That's also fixed in the patch. The players on the wrong bench thing, not the Lecavalier destruction.

[Cactus Drags]

Actually, the Lecavalier destruction might be too, hitting by players who aren't particularly known for roughhousing has been toned down.

I took out Jason Spezza out for 50 days with a shattering hit by Sidney Crosby. Momentum is a huge part of hitting in the game, that is why any player with good speed can crush people even if their checking ability is low.

[alldaws1]

That probably explains my awesomeness at checking in EASHL despite my small size, poor checking ability and being a sniper

And that patch is going to ruin it

[Ruki]

I seriously suck at this game. To even score (whole team, not just me), I had to put it down to rookie and drop the AI learning to half.

Maybe I will bump up the difficulty and keep the AI learning where it's at now..

[alldaws1]

You need to play more EASHL with us Ruki, me and Dragsy are catching you up in hits (may have actually overtaken you now) and you're not leading in PIMs!

[Ruki]

Like I told Dragsy, I can make up those hits in 3 games. Plus, EASHL is not fun when it's impossible to score and the other teams are cheap dicks.

[Toe]

I would be playing with you guys, but I don't have XBOX Live anymore. My gold membership expired and I don't really have the money right now to get it back.

Us = AD, Dragsy and Mr. X?

[alldaws1]

Obviously.
