Well online VS is supposed to be 1v1 head to head. It annoys me that they even allow guests in ranked matches. Out of curiosity, what's the problem w/ just going into the OTP (not Be a Pro but NHL teams OTP) lobbies and setting up games there?

Because I dont like playing with that first person view. My friends and I love playing at my house together in an online VS game. They added this functionality into CC GM and I am very surprised they didnt add this simple functionality.....

dude, thanks for the info on connected BAGM. Do they have a timetable for EASHL news? I have a boatload of suggestions but want to see if any are addressed prior to making a whole thread about it.

Maybe I should write a book...or some volumes...tomes?

This! +1


I have 2-3 friends whom I play offline co-op with regularly.
We usually start a season with a random team, and work us way through the series.
We'd always said that it would be so amazing if we could just pickup our season online, and have a co-op game like mid-week.
All in the mid-30's with wifes and kids and whatnot, it's not all as easy to setup long offline gaming sessions, and all we want is to finish a season.

I really like playing Online VS match with a guest at my house. One of my best friends moved down to Miami this year and I really wish they would have added the functionality to invite him to an online VS game so that we can play CO-OP just like we used to at my house on the same console.

Luger doesn't think they added that functionality this year other then it being in Connected GM mode. I am really dissapointed by this

I actually played around in NHL 12 last night and it does appear you can play OTP from normal view and invite friends. (Unranked only) It looks like you can make the lobby 4-12 people and then invite your friend and make the rest public. My question is, if the other two guys who join in start playing and one backs out during the game... Does this disconnect the entire game?

There also seems to be an option to invite an XBOX Live party. For those who have experience how does this work? Can I just grab my party and go into an online ranked OTP quick search? Do I have to play unranked? And if I am using a party do I have to create my own custom match? (I would prefer to just take me and my friend and do a quick search for a game just like online VS matches)


Thanks for any help with these questions!!

EDIT: I am not referring to the EAHSL (first person camera). I am just referring to online team play where me and a friend can play co-op using the standard camera view)
