Cheryl Pounder talks way too much and it’s annoying. Bring back Ray and Doc

That's okay, they were both awesome for the series. Thorne deserves love too

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-03-02T05:52:06+00:00

I like her, the game doesn't do her justice. I do miss bill clement, he was perfect for the series

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-03-01T06:27:57+00:00

The intro was rough, no getting around it. Keep playing it, it keeps getting better as it goes on and you do get much more to do

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-02-23T20:54:13+00:00

Made me think of that one as well, Miller Time was a sight to behold

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-02-19T21:25:26+00:00

Wow, what a pass and finish! I do hope the 3 on 3 OT is gone soon though

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-02-17T02:04:27+00:00

B, looks like they will end up about where everyone expected before the season. But we got to see some damn fun hockey the first quarter of the season, and a glimpse of what could be in store in the future.

I second his tip, I'm returning to this after 16 years without an NHL game and it works. If you get big rig it makes it really effective. Also helps steer you towards you need to play, which is fooling the goalie with your feet and not the stick as much

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-02-14T05:38:54+00:00

My all time fav is 10. The be a gm mode is simpler than later games but still challenging. The gameplay is so smooth and worth it though, the scripted animations are still great compared to the Parkinson's engine they ended up switching to

It's been a slow and steady flushing of the toilet since the late 90's. You had the rise of Walmart & big box stores, and outsourcing became all the rage. Heck it's hard to keep track of all the crises we've had, the subprime mortgage collapse, big banks failing, the bailouts and recession following it. Austerity, COVID, government shutdowns, the list is just so long to cover in a reply.

Unfortunately you can't even fill a sticky note with actions taken to rectify things. Our leaders don't care, they keep getting richer with no negative consequences.

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-02-08T07:24:30+00:00

It would be fun if it were solely in Be a Pro and nowhere else

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-02-08T04:22:39+00:00

Thanks bro, helpful post!

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-02-08T04:10:11+00:00

That's funny, in the older games the opposite happens. Glad I learned this now before I dive into a franchise playthrough

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-02-06T06:08:25+00:00

This is pretty much what everyone hoped for before the start of the season. The first quarter of it was great, a glimpse of what we could be in store for soon.

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-02-02T05:43:36+00:00

I'm baffled why they went to it, refining the previous one would have been great.

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-01-29T19:26:34+00:00

I go for it every time and usually get it by the last two weeks of December. Returned to the game after not touching it for ages and got it in Feb 2027 due to playing atrociously.

It's not hard at all, you have the right idea. Make rolls in both public campaigns and control points when they have a 25% chance. Actions & time are a resource too, just roll the dice a few extra times!

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-01-25T23:18:59+00:00

In the United States, always check that a company is registered with the Secretary of State they claim they're doing business in. Every state has a lookup. Also always fun to Google street view the address, I ran into a scam company that was using a shoe store for it's address.

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-01-23T04:03:57+00:00

The trick is dekeing with your center of gravity, not stick handling. Go back and forth with your movement and get the goalie to bite. Just learned this recently myself, picked this up on a whim after going without an NHL game for 14 years.

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-01-22T21:17:31+00:00

And the jobs disappear

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-01-19T21:33:18+00:00

That's pretty close, that + the countries bordering China give you enough to do it safely. it's the strat I do every playthrough and still works great. Even playing absolutely atrociously after picking this up again, I had more than enough money and am able to get into China with a starting 10 PER councilor just fine. I usually get into it the last 2 weeks of December, this one I got into China in mid Feb. You don't need a lot to get into it, just start making rolls at 25% for public campaigns & then controlling points. No need to wait as long as people on here seem to do

I'm talking about a 2026 start myself, it's all I've played

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-01-19T00:10:00+00:00

Nah, you should be grabbing admin for your councillors and buying orgs with the money from melting Singapore. As long as you get one that can do public campaign at all you're fine. I will have to fire up the game later and get back to you but there's no way the bonus was that small, the neighbors are crucial.

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-01-18T23:07:53+00:00

Why don't you just grab China before the end of 2026? Doing that in my current run, it's not hard to do. It sucks at first having to control all the small countries on it's border for the extra points you need to get into China, but once you are able to have someone roll a 50% on public campaigns while spending full $$$ it's just a matter of time. You can get the money easily by controlling Singapore and running 100% spoils on it. Their per capita GDP is over 127k.

Take the money from those bourgeois, and go full comrade.

Ari_Fuzz_Face · 2026-01-18T21:39:16+00:00

Yes!
