What was great was I played the Jets in Winnipeg as the Devils, with the Jets rocking the blue throwbacks, and the Devs in the white Christmas trees. It looked the game was being played in 1983, and it was fvcking awesome. :P

Haha I did the Winter Classic from hell [in the NHL's eyes] - Devils hosting the Jets.

I got the achievement for knocking a guy into the bench in the 5-1 route.

Larsson has to sign a waiver or play an NHL game in order to be created in the EA $ports world

Larsson is in the game but he is still on Skelleftea. My thoughts are they are waiting to see if he makes the big club or goes down to the minors. I anticipate a roster update this weekend as camps open so we may see him this weekend on the Devils roster.

I wish I had taken more then the 10 minutes to check the jerseys to find him! Whoops!

Also, apparently the Isles, Panthers, and Leafs? all have another jersey to unveil?

Hopefully this year with the PS3 version, you don't have to keep entering the jersey code. It just wouldn't stay for some reason in NHL 11. How EA goes with bugs though, I expect to have to enter the code every time I play.

I think you just had to save your settings or profile or whatever after entering the code.

Man i can not wait for the next tuner set to come out. Maybe this is just sour grapes after being really good at last year's game and losing so much in this one, but for me the online play is so aggravating. I was good at using the stick lift in NHL 11 but now it does nothing for me, it's either a penalty or I lift the guy's stick and he's still able to continue skating with the puck. The passing is horrible too, I understand they want it to require some skill but I've never had such a hard time completing a pass in a video game, this is NHL 12 not mite hockey 12. They also need to up the game speed, I feel like they are skating through quicksand.

Other things that bother me is that the line change menu seems to stay on the screen after stoppages about 20% of the time, and in offline play whenever I try to do a change on the fly while I have the puck in my own zone, it slows the game play down bigtime. They also still have not bothered to fix the problem of your own CPU teammates blocking you from entering the attack zone for like the fourth year in a row, and when it comes to getting open for a pass they are dumber than ever. I can't seem to do a normal breakout because instead of getting open along the boards, they all try to get open for a breakout pass at the middle of the blue line, and if I skate in the direction of a CPU teammate, he just stands totally still instead of trying to get open.

How about the fact if you play as Jets in Winter Classic, coaches are wearing Thrashers jackets?

Does anyone else get a bug in BAP mode, where during a line change the player coming off the ice gets stuck along the boards? Pretty much have to wait for a stoppage in play and attempt the line change again.

Oh my god that garbage glitch is back again?! It was gone last year but was there 2 years ago.

I gotta admit, I haven't played it at all since I bought it last Tuesday. Definitely wont have time to play tonight nor tomorrow and with Gears 3 launching, I'm picking that up.

To be fair, I wasn't going to start until camp ended, lol.

Does anyone have a problem putting in forwards at the point on the power play? In be a GM mode I am trying to put kovy on the point and it shows up in the lineup, but in actual gameplay the power play pts can only be defensemen no matter what I do...Help?

No, I play Kovy at the left D on the first PP and it works fine. I know that last year when you simmed, it would give you retarded stats, i.e. guys who are not on either PP getting PP goals. They said they "fixed" the sim engine this year, which I was skeptical of, but it seems to work a lot better at giving you reasonable, logical stats.
