EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NHL 12

This deke is basically a well timed Spinorama interupted halfway through. Hold down Vision Controll (L2,) then you half circle from left down to right, halfway through interupt the animation by taking a shot.

There's a lot of talk about glitch goals - wrap arounds, curve shots etc. Personally I consider any type of goal that you can score IRL not to be a glitch. What do you think?

As far as I'm concerned this is the only real (since it couldn't happen IRL) glitch goal that someone ever scored on me (the guy basically scored on every shot he took, winning 11-1 - man was I mad):



Yeah, and afterwards he sent me a message: Bitch! How sportsmanlike...

When it comes to the curve shot, I think the animation is what's wrong. You should have a better chance scoring taking that type of shot, but the way the puck moves is just wrong.




Here's an instructional series from Canadian television:

Think Hockey part 1 - 9




This is from a match I played on friday and it shows the most common misstake that beginners make when on defence. I know I allways nag about this but you should never go for the body if you're not certain that you'll connect the tackle. Better to concentrate on small moves and being in the right pos with your D's like I've written in previous posts:

Keep your defenders in the slot

Discipline

This video also shows how much can be accomplished just by being positioned right:





With that said I must admit that I tend to be too passive when defending. Well timed tackles in the slot is very effective but like I stated before - you need to know what you're doing.

A couple of days ago I played another guy who tried the Pull the goalie stunt on me. Actually he tried it three times and I scored on him every time.I havn't seen the move for a while. The idea is to pull the goalie so that he skates into the player who's moving towards the goal, which automatically results in the player falling. I have never used this strategy and I never will. I think it looks stupid and the guys who tried it on me have only had success with it 20% of the times. I don't know - do you use this move with any success? I mean, I score 8 times out of 10 when someone tries this move on me and on an ordinary breakawy I do NOT score that often.

Saw some nice promos for this years NHL Playoffs. I definitly recognize myself in the Look up promo.



Decided to post another match. This one I end up loosing but I think It's interesting to see the different types of strategy me and my opponent use on defense. He (playing as PHI) is much more aggressive and go for body checks where as I try to minimize my misstakes by allways controlling a D in the slot for pokes and blocks (letting my AI do most of my body checks by using the Tight Point strategy). I think this a good strategy, when playing Tight Point, as the AI is very aggressive and often leaves their positions.

PIT plays Tight Point with Normal Pressure.
PHI (my guess) plays Tight Point and High or Puck Side Pressure.
