hey nhlvet, in bap is there any way to get your player to 99 overall, or can you only get as good as legend 3 gets you? i guess what im asking is is it the same as eshl with the cards, or do you get attribute points after each game? thanks and sorry if this was stupid
Also...Testing on ice also has no shitty EA server connection issues favoring the host and slower connections. Height and weight are lame. I can hit better with my 40 checking center than my 6'5 two way or defensive defensemen. The game is made by the Top 10 boring clubs that average .8 hits per game. I guess it reflects the real shitty No Hitting League (or fighting) (NHL)
Oh maybe it's just me? Guess top 50 defensemen on 5 top 30 teams over the last 3 years means "it's just mean". (what it really means is that I have too much time on my hands nowadays...now that I have made my money in the Market. Everyone I have ever played with agrees with me that hitting and defense is horrible this year. Even top scorers who never play D.
Why do people think you can combine boost packs with slots. Do they know what the definition of each are? Since they took checking out of the game unless your 6'9 275 and with 99 poke can't poke and the stupid algorithm with passing, where it goes right through your stick at 99 def awareness...After 4 yrs...I will not be playing or possibly buying NHL 13...let 10yr olds score! Latest patch is garbage!
Hello NHLVet was just wondering if you could send me a friend request on xbox live my gamertag is thePH3NOM3NALx1 im a huge bruins and wings fan from Michigan I play nhl 12 all the time
One more....forgot ....11s (skate blades) on a Two Way....and DDmen. 13s only on offense. too much accel=no agility....Build is most important by far. As in Playmaker, Pwr Forward, Two Way etc TOO MUCH coffee
This build is a 81 overall I believe. 83 overall is better (not 84) (leg 3 as well) Im ranked around 150 overall with 290 games around as of yesterday on D. Points mean nothing (almost). Put it this way Bob Rooney has 1400 games played and is #1 in OTP. Clearly not the best Dman...destroyed in around 10 games Ihe played on other team. Look at +/-, assists, and wins...Still not a barometer...I play usually purposely against the best players. (points just mean plays offense all game...usually)
Best build on D is Two-Way (don't do the 5'9"-5'"10 defensive defenseman cheat). Puck control at 90 hand eye 80 passing 90-92 for charging up passes and stupid pass algorithm, 85 acc 95 power up off aware 5 and 5 for Deke. (must have Leg 3) I'll tell u height and weight and others later. Accel=hitting
grab an offensive dman and put a dd man boost pack ( i know boost slots are better but not for dmen ) and make it where they need updating. you have 95 bchecking and 90 stick and shot blocking and u can put 99 on both def awr and discipline. ive used this for the whole time and its the best. and u get great offensive stuff
@TheGamegangsta2 bro. my off is siick and i can really tell a difference cause the dd man boost pack barely covers offence. so i put deking and all those shits up to 90 sum and its awesome
@purplesquirrels1993 as gamegansta said....those pts mean nothing. Last year for the 1st 4 months there was an attribute glitch with a boost pack +15 and u could 99 juice overall very early. (maybe that was 10...get confused...no 11) Put on a boost pack and ur points u add mean nothing...nice placebo though. Gets u too like a Superstar card cheaply. (a boost pack that it) but puts pts in unneeded categories ...like fighting etc
Sorry for all the posts...limited characters. You're an Islander fan as well. (I think) I thought there were none of us left? I guess Jurcina is my favorite player? Should have been Chara or Luongo ....rrr. I'll see u online. Motto: I'd rather lose and play fairly than, win and cheat. Game was designed to be played with all positions in the HIGH cam. A player is not in a blimp when he views the ice. Ok. I have to lay off the coffee.
@sawink and I'm actually a Bruins fan (season ticket holder for years now, die hard since birth). I LOVED jurcina when he was on the B's (wasn't long, a few games where he was our 6th/7th dman). And I agree the game is MEANT to be played with that high/action cam but it is sooo much easier to play (as a forward at least) with the blimp's view lol. Are you on a club currently?
Got good for years defending 99 Juicers, glitches (who I eat alive) and +15 attribute boosters. I heard PS3 NHL 12 is virtually dead. Heard no one is on PS3 in 12. I'm on Xbox only but have a PS3. Would only play on 360. The game is designed with and for the top 10 clubs only for online. Hence no hitting this year and a 12 hour wait rule for club. Boring...played top 20 club for 2 yrs on D and you do all the work and get no reward. (like giving birth each game) ...I hear :). Videos are great!
Thought in one of the vids u didn't have all the boosts. I might have made a mistake...seems like at leg. 3 I was getting more pts on my 2way Dman than this. U might just be showing this for the attributes and not perfect boost distribution. Like a small gain such as putting a +8 on say stick check rather than the +5 on inexpensive Def Awar. Great to have someone who knows his stuff backwards and forwards (pardon pun) in videos. Been watching ur stuff 4 a king time. Been on NHL since 07 as a D.
@sawink Admittedly like I said I've probably played 20-30 games on D this year, my boosts probably aren't perfect like you said. I should've looked into that before I made this video, good point though. I'll make a note of it in the video. And yeah I play on 360 but have ps3 as well. PS3 community is pretty slow compared to 360, less competition too. My club is ranked about 70 right now, we're in desperate need of a top LW that plays often. Tough to find a competitive guy that is also laid back
@NHLVet i play often on lw but i just started nhl 12 today and my scooter fell on my xbox like 20mins after i got the game now theres a perfect ring ill have it fixed tomorrow maybe we can go on live together and play?
Lastly, the tough guy Dman is the best at poke checking and stick lifting a 99 offensive Dman has less poking and lifting than a 70 tough guy. (It is stupid EA) (also after 4 years EA needs to get rid of the goalie AutoSave but, that's for a different time) At 99 stick check and 99 Def aware- the 2 way won't pick off or poke check better than a 70 DDman but has more speed, better passing and more agility.THE BUILD matters not nearly as much the pts. (not good EA)
@sawink and yes EASHL is in desperate need of a major update IMO. Needs to be touched up like the things you said, theres always a bunch of things that get past the devs and they don't care enough to fix. How lame is it that when you win the EASHL championship your team calmly walks into the locker room? Not a big deal but still lame lol. and WHY DO AI GOALIES PASS THE PUCK OUT THEMSELVES IHERIUHSEGFHBSD
Cont) I go (yes) higher speed than Accel. More agility by 5 or so than this build. The build is 10 times more important than the attribute points or boosts. (I notice you never have full "boosts" on your leg. 3 or in any video?) You need agility if u know how to play D. Forwards are very agile and you have to stop in a dime but, not be so agile that u can't control ur plyr. (offensive Dman is too agile and can't hit) speaking of hitting..it is 10 times more difficult to hit in 12. So learn hip
@sawink I appreciate the support! It's good to here from a full time Dman like yourself. I'm a full time center usually (sitting just outside top 100 but i'm getting there). But I can play D (i was a full time Dman from nhl 09 til about halfway thru nhl 11). Its especially tough this year, NHL 12 is definitely a forward's game.
What do you mean about me not having any "full boosts" though? Do you mean +9's?
This is great stuff. You guys are the most objective and detailed our there. No bias whatsoever. I've been playing with the 2wau Dman for most of 12. (4 years online top Dman). Started Offensive and tried Tough guy D and DDman as well. To keep up with Top 100 skaters on D, you must play 2way and (not try the cheat with a 5'7-5'9 DDman) Passing, skating, "agility", and to get the puck up, take the body and poke check are most important.
Hey i also use a 2WD but i dont put any points in handeye and my player seem to have no problem with one-timers, i dunno if u tried it without any handeye...i actually put the extra points into offensive awareness for puck interception
@Shawsby7 well i kno defensive awareness does, but offensive awareness can be useful when you need to pick up broken passes or intercept one yourself in the neutral zone. when i didnt put any points into it, the puck just glides through my stick even though i was perfectly positionned...
Wanna get ahead of 2bc? I am starting to like you a lot more than 2bc. but the thing that sets you apart is how he helps out in EASHL tactics. As a suggestion show us EASHL plays we could do. Show your playoff runs. This would be the start of 2 GREAT nhl channels.
@ArmchairSum Quit your job, drop out of school, move in with your mom and play 24/7 :). Really though there's no "easy" way. Just keep playing (350 games played) and do well and you'll get it.

No aggressiveness ?? You need that man, unless you prove me wrong with a hit test or something lol... Also seems to be taking a lot less abuse with that attribute up.
@PierLucLL Agressiveness factors into intimidation which i could do a 8 minute video on by itself lol. Basically it "shakes up" people that you hit and makes it more likely for them to lose pucks, miss pucks etc. Would probably make the other team hit less so it probably does in a round-about way make you take 'less abuse'. I'll look into it :)
@NHLVet Hey man. What are your height, weight, blade radius, and stick curve? i have a build similar to yours but my guy seems to be wobbling around when skating laterally against attackers. Thanks
@NHLVet i just dont understand how people compare you to them all the time like, they're soo much diffrent from you. You should send them a message telling them the hell you've been put through. And if any other gay ass motherfuckers have shit to say about 2BC, go say it to 2BC and leave nhlvet alone
Your shit! This build is terrible! You suck! 2BC is better... My ass dude you got it all figured out, i tried theres an yours and yours is waaaaaaaaaay better its not even funny
