NHL video game tips

As a very smooth gamer who specializes in playing NHL 10 for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, you've probably been dreaming of crushing your opponents each and every game. Of course, you're also hardcore and there's nothing better than facing off with rivals in heated sports video game competition. Now it's time to show your skills to the rest of the video gaming world, as you strive for another notch in the win column when you take to the ice for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 NHL. In a hockey game, the other team is always going to be voicing their superiority and trying to say you don't have what it takes. But you'll show them they're wrong, of course, by winning game after game online in Xbox and PS3 video game tournaments. Still, it takes a lot to be victorious against the very best of the online gaming world, so you'll need to learn to fight back. Not literally, of course, but with your Xbox 360 or PS3 gaming controller, to send your rivals home empty.

 

That sort of strategy may be your tried-and-true approach for picking up women at a bar on a Saturday night, but this is serious stuff - the video game world is far less forgiving. So make sure you know all the moves, offense and defense, body checks and dekes. If you don't, and your rival does, well, there's nothing colder than a humiliating defeat. Look, don't follow your NHL 10 tournament rivals around the ice, and especially avoid chasing the man with the puck behind his own net. The best way to do this is to sit back and play some kind of neutral zone trap, making the opposing team skate into your wall of players with absolutely no room. In this scenario, they will be forced to dump the puck into your zone, where you can gain possession. See? Easy and simple is the way to go. Another great idea is trying to lie down and take some rubber off your body. In other words, try to block your opponent's shots from the point. Sure, it might hurt in real life, but you don't have to worry too much about your virtual defenseman's bodily functions. Trust us, he'll be ok, and your goalie will thank him later.

 

Yes, PS3 and Xbox NHL 10 has done a solid job raising the bar of EA's popular series. And once you master some basic defense skills, you'll raise the bar of your rep in the video game world. Gaming can be intense, but we know you can handle it, so get out there and find sports video game tournaments for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 and battle opponents from across the globe.
