Official NHL 12 Thread

Paging Jonesy... club games tomorrow night if you are around. We are on a 7 game win streak and want to get the 3 more for 10 game streak club accomplishment. 5-0 tonight with 3 shutouts including a 4-0 win against a top 250 elite team. Finals are officially over and I want to knock out as many games as possible before leaving for DC for the summer job.

What's your team name?
 
What glitch?

Mainly the drag from side of the net, waiting for the goalie to drop, and putting it top shelf short side. Our team doesn't have enough people to field defensemen and lots of teams have used that shot against us when we only have 2 forwards, including the game winner in our 2-1 loss in last month's playoffs.

I understand the whole "play better defense and they won't be able to do that shot", but when you have 2 players on your team against a team of 3-4, there's no way to stop the cherry pickers who only try that glitch. Especially when it goes in like 75% of the time.

For the record, I love teams that only know how to cross-crease. That is not a glitch, just good hockey. It's also incredibly easy to defend against.

The other (arguable) glitch is the drag/top-shelf shot from the top of the circle against a CPU defenseman on a 1-on-1. I don't really think it's a glitch goal but others do. I think it's a combination of terrible CPU defense coding and the goalie not being able to see the puck behind the defenseman's legs. It's also pretty easy to defend against if you play a solid 2-way game as a forward.

edit - my description of the side of the net glitch goal was pretty terrible and sounds like a legit goal... the glitch is when a guy drags from the top of the circle off the side of the net all the way to the side of the net ~1/2 way from the boards, then curls toward the goalie at the goal line and top shelfs it when the goalie fails to react. It's like a 1-3 second hold on the drag until the goalie fails to react then shooting

edit 2 - I found a youtube video of basically how it works, but with a left handed forward attacking on the right side. NHL 12 - Goal Line Curve Shot Glitch - YouTube It's pure cheese and lots of elite teams have used it against us in the past

I get what you are saying, but have you not noticed that this glitch has pretty much gone away since the last tuner? We have noticed that it is pretty much gone. I run with a team full of Canadians, but none are French so we pretty much play legit. I think we are still in the top 100 in Elite, I will have to check, but I know we are up there.

If you are interested in clean hockey with great rules, you should check out League Arena and the VHL (Virtual Hockey League). We are starting season 9 in about 3 weeks so there would be time to sign up if interested. The league is made up of CHL, AHL, and NHL teams with owners and GMs and a very well ran site. When you sign up, you go into a player pool and will be picked up on waivers and more than likely start at the CHL level. Its a blast to play in this league and has made this game that much better for me anyway. If you are interested, here is the site.

If you have any questions about it, just let me know. Oh and it is always 6v6 hockey and you will play with a team of people who you most likely wont know at first.
 
I had no idea you could do that glitch.

I score goals where it almost looks like that, but I never get that deep and never go across the line.

I'll go along the board and usually the defenseman will play too deep, and I cut across the middle and the goalie will move to the middle of the net and I go top shelf short side. But I never get past halfway of the circle..is that still part of the glitch?
