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.

 

Look, it's not rocket science, but it's not easy either. You need to have all the right plays for both ends of the rinks, along with a solid gameplan to attack your rival successfully. Take the body on defense, and make sure to use all the proper tactics when you have control of the puck. If you don't, you'll go down in flames at the hands of your opponent, who might come in better prepared than you. Because we're helpful, here are some clues for playing defense in NHL 10 game for both the Playstation 3 console and the Xbox 360 console. You might initially want to go after the opposing player when they have taken control of the puck, but there are likely better options available. Like we said earlier, any wrong moves could turn out very differently than planned. In this case, chasing too hard after the puck-carrier could often lead to a great goal-scoring chance for your rival, with nobody left to defend the crease. You need to stay calm on defense and always have a backup plan.

 

Of course, if you'd like to be a little more adventurous, why not try blocking some shots. Like they say, "if you don't shoot, you can't score," and that also applies to any shots that don't reach your goaltender. By allowing your defenseman to sacrifice is body for the good of the team, you will also be one step closer to claiming glory. You can also try lifting sticks, hooking or even slashing. Hey, if the ref does not see it, it didn't happen, right?
