Didn't he state that was the only celebration he did? So none of us know any of the other celebrations?

Radie... you lost me with that one.

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

Yeah that is where this started... but I wonder if things like the Spider and Flame and Graffiti equipment doesnt do it's share to foster that fear.

Maybe only a few will be "over-the-top" (the Superman slide being one of them), and the rest will be your routine fistpumps and so forth.

On big goals- a late tying goal, a game winner, etc. I'd love to see the ref rush towards the net and quickly chop his arm up and down to signal a goal.

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.


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.



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.



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.

While I'm not a huge fan of super over the top celebrations of which we don't even know how many there actually are yet mind you. Bitching about it like its the end of the world is kind of lame. It's not going to hurt the other aspects of the game that are either tweakable to be more sim like or moving in the direction of more realism, a few over the top celebrations are not going to hurt the integrity of the sport I don't think.

Yeah, it'll no doubt be annoying online but at the end of the day I hope this was just a little side project rather than something than being something in which they invested lots of time/resources.

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.

And here I was simply thinking we were all having a discussion. One viewpoint vs the other, merits and whatnot.

Guess on OS message boards we state our opinion and read the responses but don't respond to the respondees? Is that the rule?

Also, there was no "righteous indignation" as I never felt wronged until this post. I was simply having a strong discussion wherein I described my opinion.

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

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

"EA Sports"

As a company, they have shown a tendency to be over-the-top.

Yes, your opinion. Everyone else does not have to share it or be beaten over the head with it. That's all I'm trying to say.

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

Opinions drive message boards...

It's that simple... When someone on a message boards say they have a problem with opinions that means they have a problem with your opinion*.

If you really had an issue with opinions, you would just go to a news or a review site.. not a forum.

You obviously shouldnt express your opinion all the time.. there is a time and place for that (funeral.. not so much). One of those places is a internet forum.

Qb is right about not wanting to let it get out of hand and maybe he went with a pre-emptive strike, but he is still right... like I said before about a time and place for opinions, its those very same factors that dictate how you should present that opinion.

*Then again this could be a chicken or the egg thing.. maybe spending enough time on a forum (or even modding it) makes you dislike opinions... knowing some of the opinions out there.. it wouldnt shock me much.
