played a few games of NHL 12 today.



Let me sum it up this way.. level 25/26. First two players were terrible. Won the first game 4-3 I think, lost the second 3-2 , totally owned both guys in TOA, shots, hits, faceoffs. The game rewards figure skating big time. You basically have to do it to get ahead. I already knew that, though.



I only had 47 versus games played, and 9 HUT games. 56 versus games played and I had the game sold.. that's odd. I dont' remember playing the game much, to be honest. Played more of the 6 on 6, I think.



Vs. mode is too frustrating. The one guy scored at like 1856 and i couldn't quit but I did anyway 'cause he was figure skating hardcore. No way i'm dealing with that for 20 minutes.



The pressure is too high with every movement, and the Defensive abilities are terrible, probably worse than Fifa. Sticklifts don't do shit. Poke checks go through pucks/sticks. That singlehandedly ruins the game for me. How can you call it a real-life counterpart when the defense is left out to dry? I got at least 5 breakaways, coudlnt' score one. The other guys all scored most of theirs, 2 or 3 total. They'd go backhand every time and the goalie would go down. wide open net, game over. So lame. Anyway, I don't think I'll be playin' it much, wasn't plannin' on it anyway. Gonna enjoy the outdoors.



I was outside on Sunday for 3-4 hours, got a nice tan, just relaxed. I did 28 math GRE questions and took it easy the rest of the time. Feels good sometimes, though most of the time sitting around doin' nothin' isn't exciting to me.
