    Re: Dump 'N Cheese: Dead Attributes in EASHL

    you know what, i have a playmaker build set up without the speed and acceleration and its not bad. sure, if you run into teams of power forwards you get hit now and then, but its not that bad.

    depending on the plus 5's etc you have unlocked, you can get balance, strength, and endurance all to 90..

    sure, at 90 you still can get clocked, but if you know how to avoid the guys that run around you shouldn't get hammered all that much.

      Re: Dump 'N Cheese: Dead Attributes in EASHL

      After last night, I think I'm missing part of what makes this method effective -- making your guy tiny! I stayed at 6-4 and when we ran into a team of midget bodybuilding danglers, my change in attributes was more noticeable.

      Why does size need to have such a big effect? It sure seems to, but I've been wrong before.

            ea nhl team, YAWN.. for making the speed attributes basically mean nothing, same goes for agility and shot accuracy!!

            ea sports - if its in the game, it possibly dont work right!!

              I don't think spd/acc/agl mean nothing, only that they might not be as important as they were in past (or thought to be). Perhaps the spread between 75 to 85 isn't as drastic now, or at least not enough to justify the cost in some attributes.

              I think I'll ultimately take the middle road, as I did notice a difference with spd/acc at 70. I'll definitely keep my agility high as I see a big change having it around 90 (remember my guy is 6-4). Speed & acceleration I might try around 80 or so, which gives me some points to keep balance & strength high. It fits my game -- straight-ahead, usually nothing too fancy.

                I've got back to NHL 11 lately.

                I was playing with a 2-Way D and had a good mix up with speed ratings and balance-strenght.

                By accident, I found a player build online for a Defensive D. I tried it and couldn't believe what I saw.

                My guy as no offensive skills whatsoever. He only have 91 passing, 90 puck control and 99 slap shot power. Did I suffer offensively? Not at all! In fact, I'm racking up more points than before.

                On the other end, defensively, the guy is a beast. I'm 99 in those categories : Body Checking, Discipline, Def. Awareness, Stick checking, Shot blocking, Strenght and balance. Anyone who come toward me with the puck and I touch will lose it 9 times out of 10. My guy won't go down most of the time and will be sounded in front of the net.

                On the speed ratings, I'm 75 speed, 78 agility and 77 acceleration. I'm slower than most guys, but overall, I stay at my position, don't rush with the puck and don't pinch too much.

                The hitting in this game is so important. I've seen proof of teams beeing intimidated by the physical play. If it's not for the passing or shooting that's way off, the guy will circle before entering the zone to not end on their back.

                I won't go back to the 2-way D ;-)

                  My theory on shot accuracy:

                  You don't need any if you have 90+ offensive awareness.

                  Reason being, offensive awareness adds a bit of "auto-aim" to your shot.

                  So instead of spending all those points in an expensive category like shooting accuracy, just spend them in the inexpensive offensive awareness category.

                  I roll with this for my tough guy center:

                  mid curve

                  92 offensive awareness (+8)
                  54 slap shot accuracy
                  98 slap shot power (+5)
                  I am 6'5" 225 pounds, and I shoot fine like that.

                  Wrist shot accuracy is 50, too.

                    Re: Dump 'N Cheese: Dead Attributes in EASHL

                    ive always thought like that with offensive awareness.. helps your accuracy and passing and its cheaper than accuracy in general. but i cant get my team to drink the koolaid with me on that.. oh well, maybe thats why we stink lol.

                    QB, yeah, i agree with ya, but when you bump the other attributes up, they do not do much at all. i fly up and down the ice like i did with 95 speed/acc and im only a 65 in both now.

                      I'm not sure what to tell you. Let's go between the benches for further analysis... Pierre, what do you think?
