NHL 11 Hands-On E3 Impressions (IGN)

Re: NHL 11 Hands-On E3 Impressions (IGN)

I play this game religiously and believe this is awesome. If you play online then you should have absolutely no qualms with this being added. Whats better then choosing which way to rub a hard earned goal in you're opponents face? I'm sure this didn't hurt any other aspects of the game. I don't see why anyone would be displeased with this. If you don't like it, then don't use it. Yes, it is a simulation, the best sports sim out there. At the same time tho its still a video game, have fun...

Now that was a nice 200th post...

It is the CPU that I am worried about. I hate those unreal celebrations. I am hoping that the CPU can't do any of those new off the wall celebrations. If it don't do any of those, then I will be happy.

Redshirt said over in my thread about Goal Celebrations and Broken Sticks that the CPU uses generic celebrations.

You might want to check it out...I actually pose a potential problem in the game, something you tend to believe I never do.

And did I just see that Halak was traded to the Blues???

Gotta go verify that one. Late.

Redshirt already said the CPU doesn't use them.

That is good. I like that a lot. Thanks, now I hope the generic ones are truer to real life celebrations?

lol, man I must be losing it, all of a sudden I remember reading that post OBG. Damn my mind is slipping!

Not to complain but...I kinda wish we would have been given an option with this. Cpu celebrations: on/off. Oh well...bigger fish to fry than is.

Yeah...so much more totally worse than ever completely for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, how do you know that??? Did you run an experiment???

Well, if that was a vid of nhl 11 i watched then thats how i know that for sure.
After seeing the new physics in action on the hits it just makes the skating stand out more.

And you simply showed, in microcosm, of what's wrong with the world today.

No one has class anymore (or sportsmanship, for that matter). Where's the class today?

What's *need* does it fulfill to "rub it in" your opponents face? People have gotten so comfortable with anonymity and rules/law that protect them - they've forgotten any sort of class.

It truly disgusts me to actually see that type of post.

I'm sure this didn't hurt any other aspects of the game. I don't see why anyone would be displeased with this. If you don't like it, then don't use it.

This whole "don't like it, don't use it" quote is getting old. I won't use it, but it will take my joy away to see someone ride his stick around the ice after scoring a goal. How do I prevent a random goof from doing this? And don't say "stop him from scoring", that's a douche answer.

And before you reply that I can exact revenge by beating up his digital character - that's not really any type of retaliation. Again, anonymity. They can act like fools, send stupid fool emails and say idiotic fool things because they don't know who they're playing. They have no fear of any real repercussion for being a jerk.

Yes, it is a simulation, the best sports sim out there. At the same time tho its still a video game, have fun...

Exactly. And while you see this as "fun", to me - seeing some jerk act like his stick is burning would take the fun out of *MY* experience.

People have been saying this for a longtime. I'm not holding out for anything happening to Ove anytime soon.

This past year he had some doozies. If someone doesn't cut him down in the next two seasons, then this league has gone softer than an 80-year-old man's sex drive.

No one would have gotten away with that nonsense in the pre-lockout.

Agreed, Bama... Ugh, it is people with this mentality (word used loosely) that make me want to build an EASHL Web Of Trust or something like that... Just a place to find FAIR, JERK-FREE teams.

People just dont know how to act anymore. Winning is about winning.. not making the other guy lose... I mean, what does that say about your character as a person and/or human being when hurting someone else makes you feel better about a situation?

I'm gonna smack my kid in the mouth if he ever says anything about rubbing it in the other guys face... then he'll sit a game!

This whole "don't like it, don't use it" quote is getting old. I won't use it, but it will take my joy away to see someone ride his stick around the ice after scoring a goal.

I agree the quote is a bit old, but sometimes it still carries weight.. THis might be one of them.. It has been confirmed in a video that Custom Celebrations is an option in the pause menu (I couldnt make it out, but someone claimed it and no one corrected him)... so I am guessing there is a decent amount of options for how it is used...

In this case if "not using it" just means that I can literally switch it off (which is seeming more and more the case)... Then the answer holds plenty of water, and I flip 180 degrees and want them in the game.. Like I said, if you can control it, it's better to have it in then not... If "not using it" means not activating it, then I am still leaning back towards not having them.

And don't say "stop him from scoring", that's a douche answer.

Yeah.. it totally is... Who wants to play a game where the CPU couldnt score anyway... If you are blowing the CPU out like that to the point that you think there is any semblance of merit behind saying that... THEN YOU ARE PLAYING THE GAME WRONG!

How do you prevent them from doing it? You don't let them score... other than that, don't play random goofs. Or you could ignore it and try not to get so worked up about it. The righteous indignation is also getting old.

No, your pulpit pounding, incessant complaining, and badgering of those who are excited about the feature is getting quite old.

Hmmm.. on many levels I agree with both outlooks...

The one thing I would bring up is that... by the very nature of it, a public forum is essentially begging for people to air out their opinion.

That of course goes for Qb and his opinion that some stuff is getting old.

It's just my opinion that I disagree.. this topic is generating good talk about the game.. I wouldnt change a thing.

Re: NHL 11 Hands-On E3 Impressions (IGN)

I loathe "it's my opinion... I can say whatever I want" discussions, so all I'll say is this. It only becomes an issue when one side of a discussion feels the need to paint the other in a negative light or pushes their views as the only way to look at an issue.

On a related note... why is it that many think the celebrations will be so over-the-top?

It's probably from that IGN article, where the author mentions doing a "Superman slide" after scoring, and things kinda stemmed from there.

Oh I dont like them either, and I didnt like making it here... But much like I dont like that I cant walk into a bank and take as much money as I want... It doesnt mean that isnt still the case.

In fact that wasnt REALLY what I was getting at... What I meant was that if we didnt all have our own opinions, this board would be either 1) Empty or A News site and not a forum.

My point was more about how it's the opinions that drive this (and any other forum) site, and that shouldnt be forgotten... not at all saying it was.. just making a point.
