Doesn't deserve its own thread, but pretty cool.

A camera and software allow you to change focus AFTER you take the picture!

Occasionally, in NHL 11, the computer decides no matter how well you play you must lose. it pisses me off something fierce

I guess I need to update my NHL then. I think 07 or 08 is the last 1 have and play (which I do like because its fun as hell to trade for guys who are now stars for dirt contracts a few years ago), but I routinely go like 79-1-2 on medium difficulty early on in franchises, and about the same on difficult once Ive raised my players potential, abilities, etc. 

Still love it though

2011 is friggin amazing. broken sticks, sick dekes & the ability to strip the garbage default music out of the game & insert your own music are my favorite features. It's pretty awesome when Briere blasts one in the net & O is the One comes over the arena sound system

One more day til the weekend!

Didnt know what you meant by insert your own music, but that is cool as hell (although I usually just silence games and listen to tunes when im playing video games).

Good thing you have Briere shooting the slappers and not Richards  :(

[bluesky]

second that

What I meant is that there is a sub menu in the game that displays a default playlist for all sorts of scenerios. You can strip that out & insert your own playslists. So instead of C&C Music Factory playing when the Flyboys score, I get to hear random songs in a playlist I created. Some of the other scenerios are in between periods, menu screens, pre-game warmups ect. It's pretty awesome as I do like to listen to the commentary while playing.

Call me crazy, but I'm not all that upset with the Richards & Carter trades. Carter habitually went AWOL in the playoffs. I also never liked Richards as a captain. He's just kind of, for lack of a better word, douchey. Cap room was cleared & we finally got a top tier goalie. The players we got in return for the trades have a lot of upside. Plus we got a 1st, 2nd & 3rd round pick. I honestly don't think the Flyers are done making moves either. I see them picking someone else of value up as well

Hey peafunk, is that song feature available for NHL 11 on all formats?  What system are you playing on?  I've got a 360 and I want to get this game for that feature alone!   8)

I play on a PS3. But I believe the feature is available across all systems for EA games. I know you can do it in the baseball games as well. There are some fairly simple online guides that explain how to do it. It's actually pretty easy. But I'll break it down as simple as possible here for the PS3. I'm guessing it would be similar for the 360. If you get stuck, just look up an online guide

1) Either copy a CD to your PS3 or bring over selected songs from an external device (hardrive)
2) Go to the music menu on the PS3 & select the Playlist sub-menu.
3) Select Create New Playlist
4) Go to new PLaylist & press triangle for options
5) select Edit
6) Select the songs from the left half of the screen by pressing X. That will bring them over to the right side of the screen in the newly created Playlist
7) Run the EA game (I'll use NHL 11 as example)
8.) Select the MY NHL 11 option
9) Select the EA SPORTS MEDIA HUB option
10) Select the CUSTOM MUSIC option
11) This is where the magic happens. You should have 2 categories on this screen. Select BE A PRO GOAL & you'll get a prompt asking what you want to do. Select SELECT PLAYLIST & then find your created Playlist. Hit X.
12) Repeat step 11 for the MENU MUSIC option. You can even customize further by scrolling through the ALL LEAGUES screens by pressing R1 or L1.

I highly recommend anyone w/ EA sports games to do this. It really adds to the games. You'll no longer have to mute the game or mutilate your eardrums due to the shitty default music that EA uses. Enjoy!

I finally beat the original Super Mario. It was the first game I had as a kid and I've spent thousands of hours on that game over the past 20 years, but I had never beat the game. I bought Super Mario All-Stars on Wii yesterday, and I've spent most of the morning trying to beat it and I finally did!

Way to go, man. I did that in my dorm room 24 years ago.  :P ;D
