That thread is where I pulled the stats from for his scoring after the WJC and in the playoffs. Hell, it was a post of my own I stole it from!

Ok, I have a 15 year old step son and he and I jam out every weekend. I can tell you I hate thumb controllers, to a guy my age they are fairly new and I am learning the different moves with the controllers, bumbers, etc...etc.....

I do keep the games fairly close considering he smokes me 9 out of 10 times (He's a Detroit fanatic and Datsyuk and Zettershit.....errrr......well, you get my meaning, cause me fits most games). However, there is Miller, and he carries me most of the game, its not my lack of defensive play, I keep him to the outside most of the time, its my inability to bury it against OzGod or Happy Howard. I have learned to use the stick in a rolling fashion and am getting better.
(Just carried him to a game 6 this past weekend in a Battle for the Cup game).

I have jammed on the NHL series for years, same thing with football back in the late 90's too.
But, he still uses the dam bumper move to get around my defense and Dammit Rivet and Montador, stop taking slashing penalties, that frickin lift stick has to be time just right.

I will beat his ass one of these weekends, but for now, I have to suffer humiliating defeat after humiliating defeat at the hands of Detroit :(.

Here is the surprise to me in the 10 game, Gerbe is a terror and my step son hates to play him, Roy does good, Vanish shows up once every 3 games and I too have demoted Staff infection to the 4th line. Pomminville hits the net in the game and Connolly isn't that bad either. I love playing Weber and Gragnani over Butler and Lydman.

I can't find Myers or Ennis in the game, come on NHL11.

Oh, and my stepson calls Miller Jesus and he should be on the cover :D

Haha slesh, I hate playing against the computer on Superstar Hardcore mode, it's impossible.

I hit the net all the time with my players, and also you need to download the latest Rosters, because Myers and Ennis are both on my rosters, or at least Myers is in the game for sure.

Now this makes sense. Usually the coverguy doesn't get leaked until the summer.

Yea, my buddy Adam (sabrescup08) got the pic from his buddy at Gamestop and apparently the manager clued him in.

I think that's silly. I knew they put Alfie on the cover in Sweden and in FIFA games they switch the cover too, but change it for each city?? Stupid idea.

Ennis and Myers are in the game. You have to get the roster update.

In order to be good on defence you have to use poke check a lot. In order to stop that bumper move you can press left bumper and your player lays his stick flat on the ice. Stops players dead in their tracks. If anybody wants a match online against me let me know!

It's not that. It just loses its appeal if the player is changed in every city that you go to. I was half upset that they removed Heatley from 2004 edition.

Just for the promo materials.

Ok so they just change it before the game is released?

The only reason there are multiple players on the cases right now is for the on-shelf boxes used to promote the game. There will be a single cover athlete chosen when it's time for the game's release. OMG how many times am I going to explain this.
