Clamp down on shooters in NHL 10

There is nothing like taking your sweet gaming skills to the next level against online opponents. With NHL 10, we know every player is excited about the prospects of smacking a rival defenseman into the boards or about lighting the lamp with a perfectly placed shot into your opponent's goal. By playing online sports video game tournaments for both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles, you'll have the chance to do all that in more, but you'll also need time to learn the basics. Here are some tips and strategies for avoiding the bottom of your online sports video game league standings. 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.

 

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. 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!
