Broken sticks

Re: Broken sticks

This has to be in the game. Its a major part of gameplay. They should just put generic sticks in the game if the companies are gonna whine about it. How many broken sticks do you see in the playoffs so far?? I bet its an average of about 3 per game.

Both broken sticks and too many men on the ice penalties.
For those of us that watched the '10 playoffs, we all know how many goals resulted in broken sticks and too many men on the ice penalties.

Both of these must be implimented in NHL '11

I'm thinkin these companies probably pay NHL '11 to advertise their products in game.

Too many men? Really? Why would we want a feature in this game that we have zero control over. If broken sticks are in, I'd say a MAX of 3 per game, and none in the final 8 minutes of a game.

Re: Broken sticks

sounds weird the reason it is not in the game cause the company would complain lol. i think it has to do with the fact they do not want to have to figure out how to implement it, the nhl crew like simple inclusions heck they seem more focused on making gameplay rather than making it a sim game

like the poster above said to many on the ice penalty would be great if it was in the game along with i allready stated in posts above.

i myself would like to see a dump meter so that when i dump it maybe i am trying to lead one of my skaters for a breakaway or maybe i just want to get it out of my zone but do not want it to go all the way down.

as well as shooting the puck from far away having it bounce off the ice like skiping a rock across water.

Re: Broken sticks

Users have ZERO control over penalties in Madden, especially holding, so I see no reason they can't implement too many men on the ice. And in a way a user does have somewhat of a control over that, with line changes and everything of that nature.

Re: Broken sticks

I like the idea of including broken sticks into the game...and/or losing them. At least for off-line play anyway.

As far as the too many men on the ice penalty, I'm in favor of this too. I mean..there are other AI controlled penalties you have no control over. Nearly every GM mode game I play, one of my AI controlled players commits some sort of call. So what the heck?...why not too many men on the ice as well? Neither one of these are a high priority for me. But any kind of small detail that adds more depth and realism to the NHL game...I'm all for.

Re: Broken sticks

This is the reason you don't see it in the game. The way around that would be to have players lose their sticks instead.

Well I guess we were both wrong, because I heard it made it in the game.

That was posted on the NHL11 facebook page, with a caption about a new physics engine.
It looks like broken sticks may be in the game now.
Awesome.
I'm all for new features.
Granted i'm going to obliterate my controller when i lose a game from a stick breaking on a shot with an open net, and my best forward.
This game's already cost me one controller!
Damn you EA!

Edit:
This screenshot makes me wish they would animate the bench a little.
I guess it probably eats up system resources, but i think it would be nice to have the players watching the play, maybe standing up and getting angry.
Granted that screenshot is probably from a way early build.

However, you gott admit that it looks cool that the crowd may be reacting to the hit by jumping to thier feet in patches. Nice.

I also love how all the bench players are all into the hit too.

I am all about presentation, so I have high hopes for this game to step it up in that department.

Ditto on that, bro.

Re: Broken sticks

i hope you can hit people with pieces of the broken stick
wonder if this means we can break a stick at the face off this would be cool addition.

Re: Broken sticks

i can't wait until the same people arguing for broken sticks come on here irate about their stick breaking in crucial moments and probably blame it on ai stickbreak comeback logic.
