    NHL 10 Blog: EASHL Championships - Purple Cobraz vs The Regulators w/ Lots of Videos

    EA checks in with another NHL 10 blog. This one shows off quite a few videos between the Purple Cobraz and the Regulators.

    "Last week, two EASHL teams were invited to EA Canada to compete in a best-of-seven game series to determine our first EASHL Champions. Invited were the Purple Cobraz representing the XBOX 360 along with The NHL Regulators representing the PlayStation 3. Both teams earned the right to be in Vancouver after defeating three top teams on their respective consoles in the online portion of the tournament setting up the final that took place last Thursday.

    Despite the fact that Purple Cobraz ended up taking the Championship in four straight games and controlled the offensive zone for most of the games, the Regs still managed to keep the scores close. The first two games were played on the Regs home system, the PS3, while games three and four were played on the X360. The difference was not only timely scoring by the PCz, but also some great defense that hindered the Regs from entering the offensive end most of the series.

    Huge props should be shown to both teams who showed a lot of respect for each other and through the gamesmanship and friendly trash talking, at the end of each game and the series, both teams showed a great level of respect for the stellar game each brought to Vancouver."

    Sweet! Thanks Steve. It seems like players are all slick with the stick and puck though. Like they are all Sid out there.

        On another site, other people were saying these guys were the kings of glitch goals.

        It's nice that they were able to give feedback to EA. I'm sure they'll request more cheap stuff so they can repeat.

            Hopefully the developers watched this and want to fix it for NHL2010.

            How about the "4 man in front of the goalie" defensive formation?
            Go Sabres!

              Every player on both sides was human controlled. How do you glitch a manual goalie?

                  Things that would be nice to see next year:

                  hitting
                  forechecking/defensemen handling the puck
                  an organized crash, not dumps against numbers
                  more defensive alignments aside from 0-0-5
                  slap shots people fear enough to come out and defend against
                  a wrist shot saved
                  people not diving against wrist shots

                  The Regulators forwards looked overaggressive a lot of the time while the Cobraz mechanically surrounded the puck carrier. This wasn't a pretty match up.

                    lack of a forecheck is a major problem in the game. the good teams realize that unless you're right on top of the puck initially, forechecking is pointless barring a dumb mistake by a defenseman.

                    strange coincidence that the only 2 periods they didn't post videos for were the periods where 60% of the goals in the series were scored.

                      I've noticed more and more that if there is an human controlled goalie the quick shot against the post is a "go to" goal for glitchers. For some reason the goalie (even hugging the post) can't seem to stop the puck. It kinda goes right through the pads.

                          no you wouldn't. good team defense makes the game look ugly, although i thought both teams didn't shoot the puck enough. plus i'm not convinced the nhl regs would have even been a top100 team on the xbox.

                            Tgalv is right. One thing both of these teams did was play really good D. It seemed there were hardly any good shot opportunities.

                              Easily by eliminating the cheese goals (cross crease and side net cheese).
