Crisis Core is the best PSP game I have ever played hands down. As for which person I chose. Miranda seemed to be the best option since Ashley was not an option in the second one.
That's been happening a lot in Ground War too. Last night, I got in a lobby (don't know why I stayed in) that had 2 guys split-screening who were always on my team. We were fine in Domination because there were enough people going hard at flags, but they singlehandedly lost us a few Deathmatches. They combined to go 2-40something in one of them. We lost by about 3000, so that was all them.
It's beginning to annoy me even in Domination. You can play a competitive game of Domination with that going on, but it's tough to win consistently if you got two or three guys just getting slaughtered. They create too many killstreaks for the other team, and, more importantly, them always losing gunfights means you have the other team getting to and maintaining advantageous spots. Obviously k/d isn't all that important in Domination, but you at least need to be keeping it respectable to knock the other team off their streaks some and get 'em back into their spawn.

In other news... I've decided Grid is infuriating in TDM. Maybe my favorite map to play Domination on (medium sized, and the flags are positioned so you get lots of good battle areas), but the spawn system in TDM puts people behind you and/or right in front of you way too often.
I guess so . But still, I do what I can to be good. I hate sucking. I also ****ing hate it that my college's yearly BYOC LAN party is having Madden 2010... AGAIN. Every year it's ****ing Madden and it's in the middle of ****ING APRIL. NO ONE GIVES A **** ABOUT FOOTBALL THEN! I swear to ****ing god I wish there was an NHL 11 tournament, I'd probably kick all their ***** .
Yea there is more of an incentive to be good on xbox 360. If I suck, then I'm unlikely to pay to get online to get stomped even further.
The other factor is that the PS3 enables much more casual gamers to just jump online and play if they want. Especially if you're talking about a very competitive online game, it's tough to be all that good if you're not playing regularly.

Anyone here any good at playing goalie in NHL 11? I just started and could use some help. When I play with a solid team in front of me I am pretty damn good but when the other team dominates play and can impose their will I can't do anything right.

My suggestion, don't use the right stick too much. Using that too much can make you move more than what you want to most of the time. Only use it if it's something like a complete cross crease pass and you really need to stretch. Solid players come and go, but usually, people who play defense are total dumbasses and act like forwards, so you are usually left out to dry, which sucks.
Yea some times you just get **** luck with the team you are playing on. Selfish players who won't pass, defensemen who don't play defense, or goalies who just plain suck. I suggest joining a team and playing with reliable players. Drop-in games can be miserable. I'm not exactly good, but I suggest trying to learn some of the fancy moves. Just practice a lot try using some of the dekes and if timed right you can beat goalies fairly easy. Two of the dekes I have been practicing lately are: push the right stick right and without letting go push it around down and then left. Another deke is to push left or right on the right stick depending what handedness you are, then push L1 and let go of the right stick. Once you let go of L1 hit the right stick down. Hope that was understandable. It is hard to explain.

I have no problem on the offensive side of the puck. I have my legend card and was one of the better players on my team before it became inactive. Now I'm just looking for a new challenge in goaltending.

Sorry completely overlooked the part where you said goalie.
Anyone playing NHL11 BEAGM mode having this problem with awards...
All Calder Trophies, Conn Smythe, and Hart Trophies have gone to goalies since I started. Last season the Calder Trophy went to a rookie with 45 losses and a GAA over 3.00 while I had a rookie D man with 20 goals and close to 80 points. The Vezina winner also won the Hart Trophy and he wasn't in the top five for wins, GAA, or save percentage (which begs the question as to why he even won the Vezina). The Conn Smythe Trophy wasn't really ridiculous, but just every year since I have started it has been the goalie, and its been like 9 years so far. Is this just a coincidence or is this some type of glitch?
I got into a Ground War lobby that seemed to involve a gigantic party. The party murdered my team twice on domination...not only did they manage to keep all the flags, but once they had them there was no way to spawn without being blindsided.
It was frustrating as hell, but at the same time, pretty awesome.

My goalie has a .86 SVPCT and 2 GAA overall from playing with the HFboards team and some random drop in games and in 20 games playing with a top 50 Xbox team I have a 1 GAA and .92 SVPCT. Moral of the story: no matter how good you are as a goalie (and I consider myself one of the top goalies on Xbox - I was ranked in the top 50 last year when I played more in every goalie stat before I stopped playing in February for 'Where Legends Die'), the team in front of you is at least 50% of your stats.
As far as goalie controls go...
1) I never use the right stick, let the computer make EVERY save for you, just focus on positioning - and come out to challenge shots, don't be a 6'5 fagot that sits on the goal line, that isn't skill.
2) I use the butterfly a **** ton because it helps rebound control and allows you to save deflections better because they are generally aimed at your five hole.
3) Don't be tweaky in net. The less movements the better, there is nothing worse than moving out of the way of a puck and letting in a softie.
4) Use the hug the post (RT) to move side to side on cross creases and break aways, it is MUCH quicker than manual movement.
5) Make sure to hold the post when the puck is behind the net and on an angle, bad angle goals are backbreakers for your team morally.
6) Don't be afraid to use the desperation poke check on breakaways; however, don't abuse it.
Hope that helps.
PS. I play with a 6'2 goalie, it makes me tall enough to allow me to make glove saves in the butterfly, but small enough to be quick on one-timers.

That's impressive with a triple cap... usually in that situation you have a chance to do some damage. Which map?

It was Array.
I just played a Ground War Deathmatch where we won 10000-2600. I had nothing to do with it. My teammates were insane. I went 4-2...I barely even saw anyone to shoot at before they were dead.
edit: ouch, just got put on the opposite team for domination. 201-80, them.
