[quote name='Mr_hockey66']how did you guys do?[/quote]
Well, last night, we just played private OTP sessions against each other rather than the normal club play. We had to play unranked so neither the stats nor skater grade count for anything, but the biggest losing margin the entire night was 3 goals. We had several games go into overtime and even had a 2-0 game turn into a 2-2 game, before one team came away with a 3-2 victory in OT.
Overall, it was much more competitive this way, and I think most CAGs enjoyed it far more than being cheated and raped by players with names like "URMOMLUVSCOCK". It kinda sucks that the skater grade doesn't count at all because the only reason mine had dipped back to a C+ is because of these losers who glitch the entire game.
I checked the EA forums and they're saying the patch is 2-3 weeks away. It would be amazing if they could somehow make regular club play like these games. There will still be idiots who go for cross crease passes all game, but I'm hoping if their speed and passing aren't both 99, it won't be as easy to pull off. Anyway, until then, playing against each other definitely seems to be the way to go. I had a good time last night.
[quote name='Vulcan2422']Well thanks to some CAG'rs and a unknown person called Acerfan84, I got in a few games before 10:30. I like this CAG's against CAG's really. We all know we won't get bamboozled by a glitch goal or some 99 glitcher's, but you will be checked ALOT by my self as I think I am the Official CAG NHL 09 goon/enforcer
I did get home at 1:10 but nobody at all was online. I suppose cause we started early. But all in all, it was fun times.[/quote]
Yeah, people were slowly dropping like flies. We played one or two games of 2 on 2, and then somebody else had to go, so rather than play 1 on 2 and wait for your drunken ass to come back, haha, we just decided to call it a night. I'd actually be ok with keeping hockey night earlier (as Mr Hockey initially wanted to).
The main reason I kept it late was for the west coasters. But Matt seems to play more throughout the week, and less on Fridays (and oddly enough...seems to have more availability earlier in the night anyway). The other west coaster (that I know of) was Wpark, but he just moved back to the east coast. moojuice and darktower are in Colorado, so that's what, a 2 hour difference? Would playing from 8-12 make things easier on anybody?
