  1. Well, I still have no computer (old one broke), so count me in the retirement circle. College is taking up most of my time nowadays.
  2. Well, I've been playing the demo for quite a bit now and I've noticed a few things. - Checking players is out of whack. Granted, it's better than last year (see: magnetic attraction towards players, devastating hip checks), but when I can deliver a bone-jarring hit with Sidney Crosby by flicking the right analog-stick, something is definitely wrong (could it be the return of the weight bug? ) - The defense actually plays defense now. No longer is it that every offensive attack is similar to a powerplay. - I'm no longer hitting the damned goalposts 5-10 times/game (i.e. players miss the net more often). - Pokechecking is more effective - The stick lift is very effective once mastered. Perhaps too effective... - The tutorials are an improvement, but that's not saying much. - The AI will make you pay for errors (trust me, I tried playing it 08 style and got routed. You have to play smart hockey to win) - Be a Pro mode is decent. Nothing groundbreaking, just decent. Although I will say that the camera is competent and actually focuses on the play. Overall, I'd say that it's an improvement over 08, but not by much. The clinchers will probably be Dynasty Mode (read: broken last year) and the EASHL (something tells me that EA will drop the ball on this one, considering that EA's servers have been terrible over the past few weeks in the games I've played). I'll probably buy it, but rent it if you can.
  3. The demo's actually available on the 360 right now. I'm downloading it as I post so when I get the chance, I'll give you guys my opinion of it (like my opinion matters around here, anyway. ).
  4. Not good at all. I've tried and it's still not responding. I fear that the culprit is the same as the reason my computer has been crashing on and off for the past few weeks. Unfortunately, it angers me to say that, due to this recent bullshit with my computer, I have no choice but to forfeit. Wouldn't have minded if this happened at the start of the season, but no, it's got to happen during playoff time when I have a legitimate chance of winning the championship. I don't know what you want to do with the seedings. I'd say advance ilikeeatingsouls, but I haven't seen him on in over a week. Do what you will.
  5. I haven't seen ilikeeatingsouls on AIM in over a week. That being said, you may end up playing him anyway. The reason: My computer. As you may know, the damn thing's been crashing to start-up frequently over the past few weeks (i.e. when I finished up my regular season). However, after my family decided to move a new desk to where my computer is, we disassembled the thing and put up the desk. One major snag: My computer isn't responding to the monitor input. This is weird, as the keyboard and mouse are powered and the monitor shows no signs of failure. This is another computer I have, but it's far older than the one I play NHL '94 on (that one is three years old) and it's a public computer. No chance I'm going to risk installing '94 on it. If I can't find a way to get that thing running soon, I'll have no choice but to forfeit. Trust me, if that time comes, I'll be as pissed off as everybody else is for waiting for us to get our games in.
  6. Ah, so THIS is the Dr. Pizza I keep hearing about. Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I didn't know who you guys were talking about.
  7. Game 1 - CGY - 5, DAL - 4 Game 2 - CGY - 2, DAL - 0 Game 3 - Game 4 - Game 5 (if necessary) - Game 6 (if necessary) - Game 7 (if necessary) - I don't know what I'm fighting more; my opponent or my computer. Why do you start crashing frequently now?! Damn!!!
  8. Confirmed. Same here, souls. I had to deal with Lag, computer crashes before and after the games, and Kevin Freaking Dahl, but I persevered in the end.
  9. CGY - 9, PIT - 6 PIT - 1, CGY - 3 First game was a defensive duel to the death... at least it would be in professional football. The second game was pain; Lemieux hitting the crossbar on a penalty shot, Fleury hitting the crossbar on a wide open net. It's all good. gg's Jetta.
  10. Tough luck, man. I know exactly how it feels to give up a multi-goal lead in the third period.
  11. TOR - 4, CGY - 4 (TIE) CGY - 2, TOR - 1 One word to describe my offense... snakebit. Be it from not taking advantage of opportunities or Gonzo's brilliant penalty killing, I have no idea what happened. gg's Gonzo.
  12. That just sucks. He had a potentially brilliant future ahead of him and it just gets taken away from him in a flash. RIP Luc.
  13. Confirmed. gg's Negative Nick.
  14. Confirmed. I'm just about ready to send Vernon back to midget league after that "performance" that was the second game. gg's Ryn.
  15. confirmed. vgg's Wags. EDIT: Actually, I think the first game was CGY - 2, BUF - 3, but that's merely cosmetic.
  16. MTL – 1, CGY – 5 CGY – 8, MTL - 3 And the offense shows up, surprisingly, against one of the better teams in the league. Maybe my team just stopped smoking the reefer and started to play some hockey... gg's Freydey.
  17. CGY - 7, EDM - 1 EDM - 2, CGY - 1 I have no idea what the hell happened to my scoring touch during the last game. It seemed like it was sapped from me right before my eyes... gg's Buser.
  18. gg's SSiG. You may not think so, but these were good games.
  19. Sorry I've been so late in getting my games in. Blame it on college finals and the sort. I've got one more series to meet the deadline goals, so I'll definitely be on on Monday.
  20. *digs into banana split* They sure are!
  21. CGY - 4, WPG - 3 WPG - 2, CGY - 3 These were close, good matches. gg's jtakkunen.
  22. CGY - 1, NYR - 3 NYR - 2, CGY - 3 (OT) Some really laggy games, but we managed to squeek out a few thrillers in the end. gg's Elio.
  23. CAL – 4, CHI – 3 (OT) CHI – 1, CAL - 4 Very good games, including an overtime thriller in the first game. Real nail-biters. Great games, sdogg.
