Not sure if this has been said but.. if you have a nvidia card and the game is crashing try this:

Quote:
Go to the NVIDIA control panel (open "Control Panel",
double-click "Display", select "Settings" tab, click "Advanced",
select "NVIDIA" tab) and select "Performance & Quality Settings".
Then click on "Vertical sync", uncheck "Application-controlled"
and make sure the horizontal slider is set to "Off".
That's how you disable vsync for all games.

Nice, glass breaking better then last year?

Yea, that's awesome. When they miss the net terribly and smash the glass, their like OH SHIT. The glass breaking is a lot less. Happens maybe once every fifth game with me.

a lil out of topic...but nyway....how the hell do u tackle in the damn game??? I mean....personally i always play at difficult lvl, but this is ridiculous. I can go at full speed against someone and presst the tackle button, but the dude just shakes me off and keeps the puck under complete control....i mean gimme a break....even if the dude would be 30 kg smaller he would still b able to knock the puck away when hes getting speed for the tackle from the blueline and the other dude is in the corner. it doesnt make ny sence...so plz......tell me:

1. if there is a "load" button (to make u tackle harder), like in the demo, which button name does it have?(function name that u then assign a button).

2. How the heck do i change the lines manually? in the demo u could set button for this. IN the game u cant even change it with the F1-F8 buttons. So plz...tell me how to change the lines???

these factors, especially the tackle thing really bugs the shit out of me.

So...plz do reply on this...

European version out for xbox now Surprised

Give swedish commentators Smile

I havent tried the game on the PC so i have a question for the ones who have. Do the replays (the auto-replays, not the ones you can do yourself) seem funny to you? Most of the replays i get aren't correct at all. They are showing completely different things. I might do a one-timer but the replay shows a different situation. Is this intentional? Like showing other highlights? In real broadcasting it's often like that but it really bugs me in the game.

Also flamergris you said that the tackling is a bit bad, it's the same on xbox. I often have to tackle once then skate backwards and tackle again. All in all the Difficult setting sucks. All it does is make your players weaker and the opponents players better. It should add better play instead. Also it often feels like the opponents gets very easy goals, from impossible angles etc.

Yes, it's intentional.

Let's say there is a 2 minute break between whistles and you get 4 shots on net during that time - the replay isn't always the last shot but sometimes of another shot during that period of action.

The highlights at the end of the period though are all accurate.

Really? same on xbox? well...not that surprising i guess...but still...i mean the difficult setting should be for more passing, more dynamic and aggressive style of play, better marking of opponent and tighter defence and so on....NOT for the players attributes. I mean the players should all b the same...n not with those weird goals and most of all - impossible hysique....i mean it just gets silly if u play it that way. I mean u used to b able to set the player and goalie attributes better/worse then the other team in the previous versions.

in this one its like its better to play it at medium lvl...but then its often too easy instead . damn...i had high hopes for the game. now its just another medium lvl game. Back to NHL2003 then Razz

OW! PLZ tell me the name of the "change the line" function is, so i can assign a button.....

Unfortunately, EA NEVER cared about their customers (yeah, yeah..I bought it and can't be refund..the bad thing is that I met the minimum specs..)... if there's no patch coming out, I'm forever done with games from EA since they always put their own profit interests first.

you can send your copy back to EA and they will send you a sealed one to return it to your dealer. thats what i did....but you gotta get in touch with support first, so they know you have an issue with the game....

Im using an EMS ... its a converter for using psx controllers. Im using ps2 controllers.... its from hkems.

It has the same problem as the other dude...the menu keeps scrolling up. Only option for me is to press downwards on both psx conrollers simultaneously ... then the selection is still and i can use the menu... otherwise it just keeps movin.

It works fine to play with....but i still cant change the lines. I suppose it thinks of the z key as one of them, but everytime i press select it keeps pulling the goalie Razz dunno why.
