I played 58 of the games in the regular season and 13 games of the playoffs, won the cup (with Calgary ) and nothing.

Wondering if you heard anything about that?

Thanx

Which difficulty setting? I read somewhere that it has to be at least "pro" to unlock stuff.

On another note, headsets seem to work great this year! Use em if you got em, I say!

SEND MEEEEEEEEEEE!

When we chatted about this last week I pointed out that none of my boosts unlocked if I had simed even a minute of a game in a season. Did you sim one even after my warning?

Wtf, our game where Schick scored his crazy goal didn't end up registering for some reason.

[C-ero]

Man, I hate this game. I usually score like 2 or 3 times on my 10-12 breakaways I got in NHL 11 but here...man, it's really hard to score on a breakaway. Maybe im just not used to it but man, im getting frustrated and pretty sure my teammates are as well. I can never score on a breakaway.

Got any tips? Cuz if I get another breakaway and I don't score, im gunna be a goalie for the rest of my life.

Of the 71 games I played, only 10 of them I intervened and played the 3rd period. The game still counted. And the game ones unlocked, like the get all a's in a game as a sniper, get all a's in a game as a 2way d, etc. The ones that didn't unlock were the end of season ones. Like the average 1 goal a game for one season playing at least 40 games, the average 2 points a game for 1 season playing at least 40 games, and the play at 1 season playing at least 40 games. Those are the ones that didn't unlock like they are supposed to. Even the card one's unlocked, but not the end of season ones.

Could an invite be sent to my buddy Domenic? He's good at NHL and hockey-smart. His PSN username is Wopinator13. Is it OK if he isn't a CP member?

On another note, that team we just lost to 5-0 was nothing special. I hate running into these fully boosted teams.

I have been running into lag issues lately.
Most 5v5 (or more) games getting laggy. and I lose connection to EA server all the time...

Do you guys have the same problem?

This is an important announcement that is intended for everyone so please read. Over the past several weeks I’ve been contemplating the route the club should take this year in regards to being a fully open club for all CP members or a club that takes a more competitive route and implements a user skill requirement to be part of the club’s roster. (While keep CP player exclusivity) It’s been a discussion that’s been brought up multiple times in the past, but after consideration of which method would be best to appease the majority of active players and the club direction in general, I’ve decided that the club at the beginning of the October season (October 1st) will transition from a fully open club for all CP members to a competitive closed club based on the player skills and team play ability. (Not to be confused with player stats and performance tracking grade) This pertains to everyone even if you’re on the club currently and have been in years past.

Obviously this isn’t going to be popular to some of you, and I understand why. This is something we've tried in the past and didn't work out too well. It may be unfair to do it again since it's alienating, but I feel that the majority of the major active players want the club to be under a more competitive setting to play with a group of players similar to their skill level, being able to compete against top clubs, and climb up the rankings each month. Please understand it’s nothing personal and this is being done because we don’t like you. But the flavour of this club has developed into having a wide range in skill which yields inconsistent team chemistry and team performances. It isn’t that enjoyable of an experience for most when there are 3 or 4 players that play on an even level and have chemistry with one another but 1 player isn’t at the same level and plays the game drastically different from their teammates and has difficulty handling the competition play level. It disrupts the lineup ability to play as a team and leads to underwhelming results.

Let’s not forget the issues with playoff rosters and the bad taste it can leave since only certain players are given permission to play playoff games so we can boost a competitive lineup. Being an open club for everyone, it doesn’t make sense to be restrictive for certain games. So with that being the case, it’s probably better to remain consistent and players on the club will be able to participate in any type of game no matter the importance.

This does not mean that players are gonna be kept off the club forever no matter what. In the scenario you’re removed from the club after the cutoff date (I’ll get to that), it doesn’t mean you will never be able to rejoin. Anyone is always open to tryout to join the team at any time. There will never be any bias held against you. If it’s considered you will be a good teammate addition and would be able to compete against elite level clubs, you will be added to the club roster. Again, this change is to cut down the range in skill levels between all players so each games teammates will be on the same page which leads to a more enjoyable experience.

So what does this mean for the next week and half? Everyone is still on the club and allowed to play games whenever they please. If you are a new member and wish to join still, you will be allowed to. The days up to the end of the month will be considered ‘training camp’ and will be used as an evaluation period. Again, judgement on player evaluation is based on the users skill and team play rather than being at a certain player level by games played and overall. Whether you have played many games, or not that many yet, your eligible to make the club if you perform at a good enough level. Things we’ll be looking for is strong team play; players whom are good at playing their position(s). Be at spots they should be on offense and defense, move the puck smartly, limits bad turnovers and mistakes (and forces them), and in general plays smart, makes use of their opportunities and be a positive asset on the ice. If you want any feedback to improve your play, don’t be shy to ask. Constructive feedback will be provided.

So what do I need to know from you? If you want to be on the competitive club, post in this thread stating you wish to be considered. To be honest not everyone that states their interest is going to make the club initially, as well some may not want to play under a competitive setting yet still want to play with fellow CP members in club games. A new casual club for CP can be created by whomever wishes to do so.

I know this news is gonna be upsetting to some of you, but again it’s nothing personal. I feel this is the best concept to go with for the majority of players on the club who’s playing ability are at a competitive level. If you have any question or concerns, post away or shoot me a PM.

The mother of all typo's

Having two teams will work well with the amount of players we currently have on the roster.

Agreed on both points

It will also add an element of fun and competitiveness for players trying to crack a spot on the competitive club's lineup.

[CMPunk]

The downside is we can't do split squad games, so some people aren't going to get as much chance to play as others.

Personally, if this is how the team is going to proceed, I wouldn't allow anymore players to join up as it will limit the amount of time more serious players have to play

[Kipper is King]

I am on the fence about which way I want to go, personally. Most of the longtime fatas will be on the competitive club.

[Dime_On_Flames]

Hey Jobo, my psn is funkthat81....I'd like to be considered for the new direction. I've played in a bunch of games (mostly right D) and I agree with the decision you made. I've played in both scenarios of a great game and a horrible game and I noticed that when we had a bad game the whole team was just running around in circles and when we played great the team looked like one unit! Cohesion is the key to success! Personally, I find that I am more in control when my D partner and I are on the same page.

[dobbles]

jobo, i am definitely interested in the new team. i have always been a supporter of a closed competitive team even if that means i am not always on it. because of my inactivity in nhl 11 i fully understand if i am not initially on the team but am definitely very interested in trying out.

[Kipper is King]

Do we have a series of tryout games, then?
