Odd Quirks in NHL '12

[jwilphl]

I wasn't sure where to include these because I'm not sure if they are bugs or not, but they are fixes that should probably be made via a patch--that is if EA plans to implement one.

I've only played a couple games thus far, so I will likely have to add to the list. I'm also curious if anyone else has run into these issues.

1. Settings reset when reloading Be A Pro.
- The main settings that I saved seem to load outside of any game modes, but when I set them within Be A Pro mode, they reset every time I reload the game. This is an extremely annoying bug/glitch/whatever you want to call it. This may happen in other modes (i.e. GM) but I haven't checked yet.

2. Goal does not count when scored in the side of the net.
- This is probably more along the lines of a bug, but when I score into the side of the net, it doesn't end up counting. I actually had this happen in the demo, as well, and thought it was just a "demo goof," but it just happened in my last game and I was not too pleased. The puck went through the goalie's armpit and hit into the side of the net just behind the post, but nothing happened. Oddly enough, the skaters on the ice seemed confused, as well.

3. Tasks given in BAP mode are not specific.
- This is sort of an annoyance more than anything, but when I get side tasks during a game, they don't really tell me what to do. They are a too vague and I think it would be better implemented if those tasks were specific about what the coach wanted. "Let's keep up the pressure and force turnovers" is not really unambiguous. I had a few turnovers but the ticker remained at zero the whole game, so I'm not sure what I was supposed to do. Another odd one was "Let's give it our all on the powerplay." Okay, and do what exactly? Shoot? Pressure?

Did you use the EA Bug Thread for posting your Freezing Problems? if not, please do.

For number 1, did you try and save your settings before quitting. If you created your settings, played some games, than quit without saving the settings, that may be why it keeps going to default.

Here's the weird thing I've noticed (360) - I've played through the first 7 games of the CHL season with Tri-Cities (in BAP). In those 7 games, there have been 39 goals scored. Of those 39 goals scored, 36 of them occurred while I was on the ice.

There have only been 3 goals scored while simming between shifts.

Has anyone else noticed this playing BAP? That a vast majority of the goals scored are scored when you're on the ice and VERY FEW are scored while simming between shifts?

What level are you playing on? On Superstar I've had nearly the exact opposite experience, I've only been on the ice for a few goals per week.

Yup,....it works fine for me,although IIRC,there may be one or two options that aren`t being saved.

I haven`t played the game since yesterday afternoon,and I can`t remember right now which ones they were....I`ve been spending countless hours at the rink lately.
Thank God I get a day off from real world hockey today.
My hockey season started the 3rd week in July,.....and it feels like I`ve been at the rink everyday since then,....almost starting to burn out a little,and the pre-season has just barely begun.....

Did I ever mention how much I hate training camps and tryouts?The WORST part of hockey season.....and this year has been the MF`er of them all.

I'm playing on Superstar as well. I set the game style to Hardcore to keep it slower and more like real hockey. After the 4th game I started messing with sliders to see if anything would change.

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!
