The EASHL Survival Guide


About five to 10 years ago, it seemed like an awesome, albeit far-fetched, idea to picture sports games that would allow you and your friends to take on other organized teams from across the world. With the advent of online leagues in FIFA and NHL, this type of online competition has become commonplace. With the EASHL, it's important to be aware of all of the wrinkles in the league so that you don't get overwhelmed by more established teams that have been playing for several years now.

My guide to winning in the EASHL:

1) Buy $20-worth of attribute boosts

2) Shoot glitch wristers all game

3) Taunt your opponent by pressing the left bumper repeatedly after every whistle.

Actually, the only reason human goalies are so difficult to play as [speaking as one with 250+ games] is that its impossible to play a 2 on 1 properly with a CPU defense; they don't attack the guy with the puck, which forces you to play halfway to cover the pass. The lack of a good sliding save animation doesn't help either. With a decent human defender to take away that option, playing Goalie is easy.

I've found the optimal lineup to be as follows:

Center: Two-Way [Help on defense and faceoffs]
Wings: Power Forwards [Good mix of scoring, passing, defense, and puck control]
Defense: Defensive/Two Way

Snipers are unneeded, as the AI goalie is easily exploitable [two on ones and short side]. Plus, they loose the puck too easily. Playmakers are decent all around, but like snipers, fall down too much to really be useful. Offensive Defensmen are a waste, as all builds have a good enough slapshot to be able to score from the blue line, nevermind you don't want them jumping the play too often.

As for strategies:

Forecheck: 1-2-2 low works wonders with two human players, as it helps the CPU defense not get beat.
Defense: Staggard [unless there is one human guy doing all the work, in which case collapsing makes more sense].
Breakout: Aggressive [for those two on ones the CPU goalies can not stop]
Defensive Pressure: Puck Side Attack [so they do SOMETHING constructive without always getting beat...].

The fact that you just told people to cherry pick makes this guide worth throwing in the trash. I cannot believe OS would feature an article that tells people to cherry pick and play as all 3 forwards with no defensemen... Just embarrassing...

Agree, embarrassing.

As well its a terrible idea... as with 2 Dmen its pretty easy to solve and create about 1000 turnovers a game.
