NHL 10 console advice

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. With all the testosterone being thrown around and the unabashed smack talk you're dishing to your buds, no doubt you're ready to take on the big guns at Xbox and PS3 NHL 10. Sure, you just want to hit up the video game console, throw on your skates, head to the rink and get in the game. Who in hell wouldn't? But - and this is a big but - you need more than a cocky attitude if you want to ice your rivals at PS3 and Xbox NHL 10. Make sure you know what you're doing out there… and more importantly, make sure your trash talk doesn't exceed your abilities. Or, in simpler terms: know the game. Don't be the guy who goes in without a plan, doesn't know what he's doing, and crashes and burns. Most importantly, don't be too overconfident, because all that will get you is a quick lesson on fundamentals and a frustrating gaming experience. Instead, it's just fine to be confident, but make sure you have an idea of what you want to carry out each game. Your opponent might have an ego that is just as big, so the time is now to make them shut their mouth. The best way to accomplish that is by playing tight defense, which can be accomplished by mastering the NHL 10 controls for whichever console you own (PS3 or Xbox 360). Once you have your thumbs and fingers all ready to go, it's time to devise a plan that works. So, here are a couple of quick defense tips for PS3 and Xbox NHL 10. Though your first instinct is to vigorously chase your opponent when he's in possession of the puck, this isn't always the best way to go. It could backfire in a big way. Once you lose control of the action on the ice, you'll give your opponent just the opening he needs to score a goal. So, make sure you don't skid out of control when chasing after your opponent. Of course, if you'd like to be a little more adventurous, why not try blocking some shots. Like they say, "if you don't shoot, you can't score," and that also applies to any shots that don't reach your goaltender. By allowing your defenseman to sacrifice is body for the good of the team, you will also be one step closer to claiming glory. You can also try lifting sticks, hooking or even slashing. Hey, if the ref does not see it, it didn't happen, right? So, it's time to play NHL 10 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles, as EA once again provides a chance for hardcore gamers to clash head-to-head.
