Reply With QuoteMan, I think I'm actually getting WORSE at faceoffs. Went on a 3 game streak where I literally didn't win a single faceoffs and then won 2 and 1 the past two games.
"Official" NHL13 Game Thread
We seem to be talking about/complaing/etc... in various threads about NHL13. Might as well make one thread for it.
Feel free to talk about:
a) Techniques
b) Features
c) Share info...etc
Be cool to have a GMConnected league with a few forum folks. The usual suspects from my office have been running a 7 person (so far) league. About 21 games into the season, it is going smooth... aside from some pretty iffy trading going on. Seems even if i don't approve a trade, the league processes it on a schedule move. ooops.
BOS User player traded 4 or 5 first round picks for STAMKOS off the CPU. lol...
----------------------------------
My discussion topics/questions:
a) Has anyone figured out the best FACEOFF technique?
b) What is the best strategy vs CPU? (team settings... i.e. crash net + 1-3-1 NZ trap??)...etc
cheers!

DUDE, it drives me crazy... i'm going to look up some youtube videos ont he subject later.Originally Posted by dyzfunctioned
I keep trying different timing and it just doesn't work... This game makes me angry more often than not.
Anyone had success??
It makes me extra mad when people i typically dominated are now beating me. WTF :@

I was finding the same thing. I did the built in face off tutorial and really started paying attention to the handedness of the opponent and it helped a lot.

For faceoffs, I use the strength technique usually. Unless you have a player that is really good at faceoffs, you just wait until the referee moves his arm and get ready to win the draw.
I'm serious when I say this, I think Craig Anderson is the hardest goalie to score on in the game.
The goalies are unreal, but I love it. It makes the game much more interesting and challenging as well.

when you say "strength technique" do you mean tie up/push ahead?

My last season was so messed - finished as the 17th seed (in BAGM), so one spot out of playoffs. The brutal part is I had more points than 5 Eastern Teams. Yea... based on points standings I was like 12th or something and tied in points with Calgary for the last spot in the West but they had 1 more win than me.
What difficulty setting are you on?

I'm about 50 games into my first season as "Be A Pro" and it's going pretty good.
I'm the starting C for Victoria Royals and the team is pretty shitty. I lead the league in goals but I'm suppose to be a playmaking C. He started off with a 68 rating and we now got him up to a 71. Pretty tough. My team is below .500 and making the playoffs will be tough. The D make terrible passes breaking out of our zone.

All-star... the 2nd hardest.
In prior years I played Superstar but tried a game or two of it in 13 and yea, got killed.
Quick question, I have the game on 360.
My buddy created a goalie for Be A Pro and every time I try to create a forward or D it goes back to the pro he created but just for a different position.
Anyone know how I can delete this pro? I want to play BAP with a forward at some point.

wow you werene't kiddin. First loss in 8 games, got shut out by Anderson behind a brutal Sens team(injury riddled).
So anyone figure out a reasonable way to play the CPU?
I can beat them on the score-board and the games are good for the most part, but I cant touch them physically. My guys bounce off there's like it's Gionta vs Chara. My players fall down so easily!!
I've tinkered with the sliders and settings, but I still get dominated physically every game.
ps. I'd play strictly online if they'd let you tinker with the "Game Speed" setting, hate how slow the default setting is.
