Unfortunetaly, I currently live in Ottawa (Canada), which is FAAAAR from Denver. However, I *did* get to ONE game in Denver 2 years ago (wore my authentic #21 away jersey). Got to see Peter the Great rack up 2goals. Amazing. He's by far my favorite player in the sport today (he's not at the top of the leader-board, but he can DOMINATE the ice quite easily). :-D Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: A cheaper solution though is to rip the CD, and download Daemon Tools (www.daemon-tools.com) and mount the bin/cue-files as a virtual CD-rom. That way you can use all your three CD's while playing NHL2k3. Hmm... that's a cool idea.. I should do that with all my games (got a few gigs laying around). Shouldn't be too hard. Tak så mycket! (can I safely assume you're Swedish?, given that you like Forsberg and your name is.. well..very nordic) ;P <blasphemy!>I still prefer nhl2000. less arcade-y, more simulation-y :) </blasphemy!> That's why I ramble so much.

I think I'll try again some day. My dad's in Denver right now, and I made him buy me a brand spanking new Avalanche cap for me. :cool: Atlantys wrote: Got to see Peter the Great rack up 2goals. Amazing. I was sooo close 2 years ago to see him play with the Avs against Dallas Stars. My friend and I tried to get tickets, but it was sold out. :( I couldn't even watch the game on TV since they don't show local games in the US to promote watching the games live.

(can I safely assume you're Swedish?, given that you like Forsberg and your name is.. well..very nordic) Varsågod! I am Swedish yes. But I think I would have liked Forsberg even if I wasn't Swedish. I simply like his way of playing. Oh yeah, keep an eye out for Henrik Zetterberg in Detroit. He's Swedish and is a rookie. He's an excellent skater and can read the game very well. If NHL doesn't get too rough for him, I think he can grow into a quite talented player. Atlantys wrote: I still prefer nhl2000. less arcade-y, more simulation-y I know what you mean. I was quite disappointed by the coach settings in NHL2k3. Auto, crash the net, behind the net? Is that all you get!? What happened to the funnel strategy? :( I had to change my playing style a lot in order to adjust to the new game. But I must say that the players move more accurately now, and they handle the puck more cleanly when you're close to net. Try passing the puck to a player close to the net and hit "Shoot" during the pass. You'll see the receiving player lift the

Atlantys wrote I *so* gotta try that!! Also, hit the shoot button when the puck is loose near the net after a rebound. If the puck is gliding slowly and there is chaos in the box, your player will sometimes lunge on the puck and shoot/lift it towards the net. But be forewarned, it doesn't work out all the time. Either the AI isn't very sharp or there are some random factors embedded in the algorithm. The game detail really amazes me sometimes. -- Master, I'm so glad to feel your presence. But you don't seem to share my impatience. I relied upon you to break the silence. I cannot understand your reluctance. Master, I feel so warm and I'm so happy, oh master. Give me some more of the warm little beasts I'm so fond of.

I hate to take your moment away (no, I really do), but I bought a Sony 48x/12x/48x just a couple of days back. :cool: No free CDs for me, but it cost me only 5050 Rupees (one US$ is approximately equal to 49 Rupees). W00t! Yes, buffer underrun protection is a nice thing to have, but 2MB is a little less than what I would like to have, though what the hell. <> But I know the feeling. Before I bought this burner, I had a (please don't laugh, please!) 4x (yes, four) thingy back from the days when men used to live in caves and technology hadn't come in vogue. X| What? You are laughing? <>
