Anyone playing this? Having finished Mass Effect 2 (And I can never sit through an entire second or third playthrough just to see a few different cut-scenes over the course of another twenty hours or so of rehashed gameplay), it's become my latest time sink.
Digging me some Be a Pro mode. Hockey Trav was drafted, sadly, by the Edminton Oilers in the 3rd round. After a decent pre-season, made the team. Tons of fun, though I wish there were some way to speed things up when you're not on the ice.
Have one regular season game to my career totals. Playing an Offensive Defenseman, and got my first assist over the course of a 6-0 freak buttwhupping of the Flames.
It was a pretty annoying assist, actually. I had a ton of free time, so blasted the crap out of a Happy Gilmore shot on the net. Cogliano clipped the puck as it zipped by, deflecting it roughly half an inch into the corner of the net it was headed for already. He gets the goal, mass celebration, lusty groupies, etc... I get a pat on the ass and a 'Nice Assist'. Jerk.
Also got my first PIMS after Bouwmeester, apparently thinking I looked too much like Maxime Talbot, started jacking with me after the whistle one too many times for my taste. I got pissed off and bum rushed him. After what was probably the wimpiest slap-fest in the history of the NHL, I dropped the dude. Five for fighting. Totally worth it.
Don't think I'm in any danger of becoming an ice thug, though. I'm in the ballpark of Patrick Kane on the 'Physically Imposing' scale.
