I just want to let you know that NHL 12 is so accurate.

1. Jody Shelley scored shorthanded.

2. Jody Shelley scored on a breakaway.

Two separate incidents.

Ehh, I dont know about off the field, but I think things certainly changed on the field.. I dont think everything changed, but the defense certainly started to come together after that Sea Hawks game. I hate the revolving wheel that is the Defensive coordinator. Let somebody work with the players and build a team defense.

The biggest problem coming into the season was the fact that Juan was made D- coordinator , yet the defensive scheme was created for Washburn. Handcuffs the coordinator.

I would like to see Juan back next year, and to see the changes he makes back there. He is a super smart guy...

EDIT: Not a fan of either of those guys to be honest.

Not a fan of Juan, Next year will either prove that Juan is capable or he was really retarded and doesnt know jack poop.... I think its the latter of the two to be honest

I remember a few years ago, me and my friend were playing one of the NHL games and we got Donald Brashear 65 goals in a season, and he only went up like 1 OV point. We were happy but yet sad at the same time.

Ray Didinger also knows his football as well. I saw alot of the play he broke down and it was bad.. also Ray said that nothing changed except for the fact that the Eagles faced garbage teams at the end.. Next year will be the same

Exactly. Pretty much what Baldinger and Didinger said.

He's no Jim Johnson, that's for sure. I think bringing back Castillo as DC is a huge mistake.

and there were times when the bad play and lack of effort was still evident but since they were playing teams that didnt really care it disguised the fact that Juan still doesnt know what he is doing. Juan doesnt know how to adjust his game plan and Juan doesnt know how to utilize his players... also there were many time when they saw players friggin walking or not really caring about the play.. Thats BS if your a DC and you see that

What are their options at this point.. I think Juan is a reallly smart guy. If he gets the correct players for the wide 9.. or continues to play the modified way that he ended the season I could see a big change in next years play.

One thing about Juan.. he is diligent...

Because they have an XBox and not a PS3, I assume. Personally, I was very satisfied with the "have my information stolen followed by months of downtime" feature my PS3 had for a bit

I agree, but that was a team wide issue.. and something Andy should have handled.

Making Juan coordinator was a mistake.. I can agree with that.. but having a revolving door for d-coordinators is a bigger one..

I didnt have that problem... But then again I never put credit card info on my PS3, so I didn't matter to me either way. I've had both x-box and ps... PS is by far better.

I got an XBOX in a package deal with my TV, that's why I have it. I don't have NHL 12 though. Anyone have any reviews/comments on it?

I haven't played a hockey game since maybe NHL 09

I like to do the be a GM mode, and each year it gets worse and worse as they try and improve online play.... Its upsetting. It takes FOREVER to sim a season, and you used to be able to control more then 1 team, so if your friend was over he could be 1 team and you could be the other... Well it just sucks now....

Try updating your system. I had the same problem when my ps3 wasnt connected to the internet.
