NHL 12 help thread

[JOVE23]

I did it!!! 50 goals in 38 games. I had back to back games against weak goalies and 7 goal game followed by a 5 goal game got it for me!

Congrats!

Anyone know how to "cancel" a pass after you've already been holding down the right trigger?

Congrats. Here's my new issue...the coach told me to crash the net, then got upset when I ran Kiprusoff three times in one game. If you're going to crash the net you might as well take it to a Lady Di extreme.

I aint figured out what the hell coach wants when he says that. That one I usually ignore and hope I magically get it.



Man I aint looking forward to my next two games. They are against the hawks who are the only team better than the ducks in the league. Crow's numbers are fucking scary good. The team record is 31-7-2. **** me my we are like 25-4-9 (My team refuses to win shootouts). Crow's GAA is like 1.63 and a S% of .92



Those are going to be rough games. Sucks I'm going to probably have to meet them in the WCF and I dont think my squad will take them in seven.

Just go to the front of the net on every offensive possession, like every one. It relegates you to hoping for deflections, but I saw every time I parked my ass in front of the net the bar for the task incremented up.

You sure that isn't the screen the goalie one?

yes. The screen goalie one ive only gotten specifically for power plays.





Heres one thing Ive always wondered, how exactly are "skill points" allocated.



like what is the maximum points for offense defense and athleticism you can get per game.



Ive never played BAP enough to get higher than a mid 80's overall (with boost slots). Was wondering how fast you can actually get your skills up.

Have you guys ever got the

Have you guys ever got the "we need you to block a shot" one?

I've been skipping through the first two periods and every other game to fly through a BAP season.

I get that message and I'm supposed to block a shot in 3 or 4 shifts?!?!? As a forward?

 

[LordKOTL]

Playing as a powerforward center, I usually block about 1 shot a game, but then again I play deep in our zone when playing and try to play the shooting/passing lanes rather than taking the man unless they are in the corner, I also crash the net like it's instinct (and usually go to far, Kipper and Lou know that all to well).



Playing it a bit more last night, The screening goalie is pretty easy. Crashing the net is similar, but going hard I usually end up obliterating the goalie--and not on purpose). "Make Something Happen" and "Prove you're deserve to be in the hunt for the Art Ross", I have no clue what they are asking me. Hell, I also got one telling me to help () out of a scoring slump--but in the parentheses, the name was blank.



TSD, in NHL 11 i topped off in the 2016 season at about 90 overall. The highest you can raise a skill is 99 in 11, and that's raise it up to that position naturally, no boots, if you have a boost applied, say a +5 to faceoffs, and have faceoffs to 94, you can raise the score naturally to 95, but your boost won't put it any higher than 99.

In NHL I used to get 40-50 per category per game. 12 **** it is all over the map. Something that I dislike is getting next to nothing when you lose. Well you aren't the entire team, you are one guy, if you get A+s across the board you did your fucking job and you should get the XP for it.

Unless you are going for the boost unlocks, you'd benefit more from just playing the game entirely, with the skip to the next shift option games dont take long.

I think make something happen and art ross is score a goal

Yeah, I'm just going for the boost unlocks.

Gotta get through two season @ 40+ games each.

The funny thing is about make something happen is that certain times i've just laid a big hit (ended up injuring Iginla), or putting up a shot on goal and got something. Other times, doing the same actions...nothing.



The worst one was "prevent them from scroing in the 1st 10 minutes". Since I don't play special teams (yet), i didn't take my 1st shift a #2C until 8 mins left in the period where we were already down 2.



I like the new system they have for BAP, but I think for 13 they need to iron out the kinks in it.

Exactly. There's no reason a defensive Dman should need to be a point per game player to get a good stats grade.

You would think in that case, +/- might be the defensive dman's main stat for "stats", not points or takeaways, blocked shots et al. Because I agree, why should a defensive D-man need to score to get a good stats grade.

 

[Ruhtra]

Amen on the XP. It's like EA doesn't believe losing is a learning experience, very maddening. It's shit like that, especially after being robbed of big time XP on tasks because of "goaltender interference" *ahem*, which makes me put down the game and move on to something else.

 

[CaveMan]

I am a small statured sniper and I was great in the juniors. However I am boycotting the game until I get home because I was drafted 2 straight times by the Canucks

That is almost a disc snapping offense but I have bad news for you. depending on where you saved you are stuck on the hawks, the draft order is set, you are going to the nucks every time.

 

[TSD]

I just finished my jr's last night, i got drafted by phoenix 1 overall.



I owned jrs (but got eliminated from the playoffs).
