Odd Quirks in NHL '12

Did you start off playing in the CHL? (I mean for a season, not just the pre-draft/Memorial Cup) I started mine as a 17 year old so I could play the entire season before I get drafted. I've talked to a few people about it and I seem to be the only one having the issue. Very weird!

I actually played two years with the Petes in the OHL, and yeah asking around other places I've found varied results, what team did you play on in the CHL?

OP, your second issue (the "poop" spot inside the net, as I've taken to calling it) has been in the game since at least 09, but likely even before that. There seems to be a spot inside the post where, if the puck comes in at the right angle, it can hit a spot of net completely inside the post and then bounce out, without ever fully crossing the goal line. This is some kind of issue with the net it seems. You'd think EA would have fixed this by now...

Yeah I just had that happened to me last game. I scored right near the inside post and it was clearly over the line but it did not count because it bounced out after going over the line

Regarding #1, I've had the same issues. I save all of the time and my sound settings are never right when I load up my BAP. I turn the announcers to zero, so it's especially annoying. The only Visuals I alter are setting the puck and puck shadow to authentic.. and those always need to be reset when I load up as well.

Regarding #3, I'm with you on the tasks. When the coach says "go out there and get the crowd behind us in the first 10 minutes" and I take my power forward out and make a few big hits, that should count toward completing the task. Sadly, it doesn't. Or when it says "we're behind in shots, go out there and put some on the net to catch us up" and we end up ahead in shots, with me having like 7-10 for the game I fail. Those are just two of the issues with them off the top of my head.

In Be A Pro I have to change my shooting settings to "camera relative" every time I play. This existed in NHL 11 too but not in Be A GM.

Drives me nuts that I cant save auto shot aim either, but I think that issue has been around since 08.

In NHL 11 my visual settings would sometimes reset themselves. I never noticed a pattern to it, and it wasn't every time I played. Hasn't happened to me yet in NHL 12.
