E... A... Sports. It's in the game. AND IT PISSES ME OFF.
So, one reason I have been absent is I just bought a PS3 (As I promised I'd do when a final release date for GT5 was announced). I also picked up NHL 10 and started messing around with the Be A Pro mode. So I played in their stupid prospects game. Scored one and a helper. Got drafted 12th overall by Columbus (an omen, I thought). Get assigned to Syracuse and played in 44 games and amassed 71 points (I am a winger). Steadily moved from the third line to the first. I figure any day now, I'm gonna crack the big club. Get that "Good news about your future" message. They fucking traded me. TO PITTSBURGH! I don't even want to touch the game ever again. Who wants to play in that shit hole with that pansified buncha bums?? Anyone have any tips on how to get myself traded to a better team in a Be A Pro mode?

And puck - I did yell, but the only person who heard me was Mrs 43. "YES I AM DISINTERESTED! I DON'T WANT TO PLAY FOR YOU!" When Free Agency came around, all I got offered was a 1 year in Phoenix and one in Pittburgh.

Are you playing the Be A Pro mode where you are one guy and one guy only on the ice? You get drafted and have to prove yourself and are responsible for being in the right place during the game as opposed to being able to switch to someone else when you are caught out...

What a poor business engine...Pittsburgh would never trade for such a lazy, disinterested primadonna

Can you bang a teammate's wife in the sim? I think that's a good way to get traded.

I always save a lot, keep two save files recent. That way if you get traded you can go back a few days. A lot of times the same things dont happen again.

I did that with franchise for the dumb thing where you have to get your GM rating between you and other teams up, and sometimes it messes up your team...

And I only became disinterested after the trade. Having Gonchar on D behind you is too much pressure to constantly cover for his stupid ass.

Of course, I play on "Pro" difficulty, which for the uninitiated is basically normal difficulty, but since it's so easy to take shots, and I love to be snipers, I usually lead the NHL in points. I've started a new save file as an offensive defenseman, because you have to be a little more creative to score there. I'd really love to be a playmaker, but unfortunately the season goals for them are so unrealistic, and you have to rely on the AI to score to meet them, which is always a gamble. Not sure how NHL 11 will turn out. I mean, new physics system looks cool, but stick breaking had better have the right frequency, or at least give you an option to pick a stick that breaks less. Don't want to see it happening seven times a game. |

i never could get into the Be a Pro mode.. love the idea.. but 1. i take too many penalties cause i wanna hit everyone.. and 2. i can never score.. the scoring in that game is insane.. i'll work the puck around and control it on the offensive zone for like 7 minutes (game time) and not be able to beat the goal.. they consistently get 40 saves against me while i outshoot them like 42-11 (and lose, 3-2
).. thats playing on all-star, i think, whatever one is above pro.. i haven't played in a while cause my roommate owned the game, not mecrazy excited for 11 though.. the physics engine sounds so incredible.. as far as the break stick thing, i'm sure it will be one of the frequency sliders that they have for other stuff (like penalties)..

ya i saw that too.. probably makes me just as excited.. i felt like when i was playing i was playing exactly how it goes in real life.. cycling around, working it to the point and getting guys to the front of the net.. it was so real to me (which was/is awesome), just never got the goals

gunna be honest haven't played much online.. how does the BAP online work? do you play with other guys that play a different position? aka 12 different users online at the same time, in the same game?
