Eashl goalie

[linny]

is there a better way to rank up because every team i get put on doesnt play defence so I cant get the wins to rank up. Am I doomed to be a 56 forever???

Re: Eashl goalie

I play a lot of goalie in EASHL, just be careful about how much you actually moved, it is easy to move to far and end up out of opsition when you try to get in front of the puck....Hold L2 and L1 if you have trouble with this, the precision movement slows you down. Poke-check them if they're pressured and are on a break. Always come out of your net to make them have to decide and watch for the short side since most people will want to go there. I don't got much more I can say, still trying to get the hang of desperation saves personally.

What system do you play on?

Re: Eashl goalie

i play defense every time, and even sag back to help the goalie when he sucks, which is probably your case no offense... and i notice 85% of the time im paired with a really good defender, so i dunno how you get stuck with bad defenders, maybe its you that suck

Re: Eashl goalie

I can relate on the 'bad defenders' part. I think defense is the hardest position to play personally. A lot of guys want to pinch up and allow for breakaways too often or you get stuck with cpu defense that are just too slow to do anything on a 2-on-1....I play PS3. Just work on the angles and work on the anticipation of a shot using the right stick. When guys have the chance to get right up close on you sometimes it can be too easy to score...just work the anticipation and the R1 button allows for a lot of variations in G positioning.

Re: Eashl goalie

came close to finally winning and the game freezes. Thanks for the tips guys but i cant handle playing this game anymore, after playing nba and madden this year nhl doesnt hold a candle to them. time to trade in for mlb

Re: Eashl goalie

That's probably the worst decision you could make. MLB isn't worth the DVD it was used to print on.

Being a fellow sports gamer, NHL is the only game I can consistently pick up and play with fun anymore.

Re: Eashl goalie

I just got into hockey this year knowing nothing about it except what I watched on the Mighty Ducks when I was younger. I'm loving so far. The biggest things that helped me get better at NHL was actually watching more hockey to develop and improve my hockey sense and watching tutorials on youtube by 2bcproductions.
