Oh goody!

Quote:

here are the unlocks for equipment / boosts. The more i read about it, the more i am really disliking this whole unlock thing. Don't have the time to spend playing three seasons of bap for that one boost unlock? You can buy the boost... But remember, you need the correct equipment in order to equip the boost, which needs to be unlocked.

Or you could purchase any / all of this. Apparently, purchasing the best stuff for your player will cost you a little more than $30.

I find this to be incredible bs, especially for those (like me) who exclusively play eashl hockey. I don't want to play through the sp portion to unlock equipment / boosts and i certainly don't want to pay money in order to get boosts / equipment so that i'm somewhat competitive during eashl games.

Stick boost slots:
Wrist shot power: In playoff mode, win every game on default settings without losing once.
Wrist shot accuracy: Play 3 be a pro season and play at least 40 games in each season
slap shot power: Get all a grades in an eashl game
slap shot accuracy: Average 2 points a game in a be a pro season, playing a minimum of 40 games
faceoffs: Get 70 points in one be a pro season

skate boost slots:
Speed: Get 200 goals with your eashl team
acceleration: Average 1 goal a game in a be a pro season, playing at least 40 games
agility: Score 250 goals in season mode
balance: Win the stanley cup with a european team (you can substitute a euro team in for an nhl team)
aggressiveness: Win 10 fights in bap
checking: Get 200 hits in bap
endurance: Average 1 offsides in one bap season playing at least 40 games

glove boost slots:
Passing: Unlock the legend gm plaque in be a gm
deking: Win the stanley cup in your first bap season
discipline: Get 150 points in one season with your eashl team
toughness: Unlock/purchase all aggressiveness boosts
puck control: Get 3 assists per game in 4 straight bap games
durability: Average 1 turnover per game in a bap season, playing at least 40 games
deflections: Win the cup twice in bap, playing at least 40 games, with the same career
shot blocking: Block 200 shots in eashl

note: All of these are for +5, the most (there are +1, +3, and +5). The +1 and +3 requirements have nothing to do with the +5 requirements. For example, for +1 shot blocking, you have to win the calder cup in battle for the cup mode

note: All of these are only for equipment with 3 boost slots. I'm not typing out the ones with only 1/2 slots.

Sticks:
Get all a's with a playmaker in one bap game
get all a's with a power forward in a bap game
get all a's with a tough guy in a bap game
get all a's with a dangler in a bap game

skates:
Get the legend plaque in be a gm mode.
Get 200 hits in a bap season
win 10 fights in bap
get promoted to the first defensive pairing of your nhl team in bap

gloves:
Win against the cpu with the montreal centennials on all-star difficulty
average 1 turnover per game in a bap season, playing at least 40 games
average 1 goal a game in a be a pro season, playing at least 40 games
in playoff mode, win every game on default settings without losing once.

Helmets:
Average 2 points a game in a be a pro season, playing a minimum of 40 games
get 200 goals with your eashl team
play 3 be a pro season and play at least 40 games in each season
get 70 points in one be a pro season

defensive d-man: Play 40 games in 3 consecutive seasons and win the norris
offensive d-man: Win the stanley cup in battle for the cup with every nhl team
grinder: Complete 4 bap seasons, playing at least 40 games in each
playmaker: Play 40 games in 3 straight seasons and win the lester b pearson
sniper: Play 40 games in 3 straight seasons and be playoff mvp
power forward: Play 40 games in 3 straight seasons and win the frank selke
dangler: Play 40 games in 3 straight seasons and win the hart
tough guy: Unlock the legend card

haha it's like equipping materia in final fantasy 7

Only hot chicks in short skirts, on the big arms of guys with popped collars, in the lobby of an office. Besides that, nothing better.

Roster were updated a few hours ago to current rosters today. So Heatley is on the Sharks.

Human Torch · 09-14-2009, 10:21 PM

Holy crap, a roster update before the game is even out? Bravo EA.

yeah, that stuff kinda saddens me. while i have gotten into dynasty finally, the odds that someone can honestly earn most of those upgrades is slim. so then it boils down to which 14 year olds get their moms credit card to buy the upgrades. i think offline modes should not effect online attributes.

You're only 14 huh?

The sad part is most of us will probably have to buy the upgrade just to compete in EASHL. It sucks how NHL 10 is going to end up costing us $100 to enjoy

CMPunk · 09-14-2009, 11:35 PM
