I would love them to allow private BAP leagues - like we have here. It would be great to just scrape data instead of inputting stats
We got to play the DEV team on '10. We only got to play for one period because the servers ****ed up. In that period they had... 0:06 time on attack.
Let me set the scene for you. Its September 15th, you are playing NHL 10 and can't win ANY faceoffs. What is a man to do? Practice this skill? Play more to earn attribute points? NOOOOOO! You go here http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-CA/games/offers/0ccf0001-0000-4000-8000-0000454108ba?cid=SLink and you buy +3 for your faceoff rating of course. Silly goose. !!!!!!PRE ODER YOUR +3 FACEOFF BOOST NOW!!!!!
it's going to be like Tiger Woods...you can grind and level up your character the old way...or just buy it.
yes indeed. it's the EA way. But I will be earning it. The first day will be dedicated to getting my full cage mask.
That's somewhat true. But EA said although you can get that boost, your guy still won't be as high as those who get their legend card and the equipment. So still those who the play the most (or goal trade) will have the highest rated guy (I think 90 ovr is the max this year.) I heard a rumour that they will be looking out for goal traders this year though, so we'll see.
With how much stuff they are going to be able to control server side this year it kinda makes me think goal traders will be dealt with this year.
Are they doing like an online store to boost all your attributes, or just select ones? Can you downright buy your way to 90 overall? Thats lameee.
there were people saying that if you buy all the boosts you can only get to like mid 80's but if you do it the legit way you can get to 90.
Guess we'll have to wait and see. Seems kinda lame to buy stats though...not to mention a waste of money.
Bingo. Had a long discussion with Matt Mahar, the online producer, while I was at EA about the whole win-trading/goal-trading nonsense that goes on throughout the community. He basically said exactly that, that there is WAY more things that they can control server side this year both quicker and easier than in 09. They're aware of what goes on and have more resources this year to police the community.
Yea it's pretty much along those lines. Everyone better make sure they have some MS Points handy on release day
So does that mean people who buy their way to 85 overall, then get legend would have even more points to go over 90? how is that going to work. Each card gives you points to put towards your player, then if you buy attributes thats even more. So will it be possible to go into the 90's or are they going to cap it at 90 for sure?
A. At least make the equipment look respectable, camo and hockey is as vile as crabs and vagina. B. Why make it so you can just buy your attributes, what about the poor!!!! haha
