Protect the net in NHL 10

So you are the slickest Xbox 360 and PS3 NHL 10 player, and you've been putting all your rivals on ice. You're a hardcore player who likes the thrill of sports video game battles. You know how to brawl with the best of them, and now you're ready to show the video game world that when it comes to Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 NHL 10, you skate to victory every time.

 

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.

 

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.

 

So, what are you waiting for? Those tips should help you on your quest to become the best sports video gamer for NHL 10, dominating online gaming challenges and tournaments for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Your time is now so go win some real money online!
