NHL 12 Longest Winter Classic Goal: Probably First recorded?

i hope this wont be a recurring theme in nhl 12...

@MadMacanian haha! yeah I know it was pretty big in 09 so maybe they will patch it eventually :) so start shooting from a long distance while it lasts!

@MadMacanian Yeah, I'd like to think that we have come a long way since NHL 99 on N64, where you could score like this at will.

[IceWarrior101]

@Rosvolainen Well I'm 76 games into my first be a pro season and I have at least 10 or 15 more of these and the goalies do look weak when they attempt to save it so I think it is a glitch in the game..

[Rosvolainen]

@IceWarrior101 That really disappoints me. Do you know if it's in any earlier games this gen? I've played NHL09, 10 and 11 and seen the occasional goalie slip up like this but never really that frequently. I think that the goalies were very unpredictable yet balanced in NHL 11 and saw that as maybe one of the biggest improvements gameplay-wise.

[IceWarrior101]

@Rosvolainen Yup well I use to do it quite often in NHL 09 I think I have a video on my page somewhere...

[Rosvolainen]

@IceWarrior101 Ok. Well, the goalies in NHL 09 kind of depresses me to this day. That game was so much about learning the ways to score that worked every time. NHL 10 and 11 was a big step up in that department.

@IceWarrior101 Can you play the winter classic in be a pro?

[IceWarrior101]

@TheHockeyPro17 um not sure I played a full season be a pro with Calgary and it wasn't an option so maybe it depends on the team selection.. hopefully it is a random selection though for other teams but I dunno..

[TheHockeyPro17]

@IceWarrior101 Okey, i really hope you can, it would be an awesome feature to the be a pro mode!
