General Trophy Discussion

[Nazcaman]

I skip the sports game and buy them every other year, and am really annoyed by the fact that you have to get into HUT playoffs. This is my third month attempting to get into the playoffs on NHL 11 and I hope the servers aren't as laggy and shitty as 11.

[Iceyice]

This is what pisses me the fuck off....more luck-based trophies!
I STILL can't get 'on bended knee!' I have NO desire to be a GM...of anything!
I'm even far away from 'One great career,' by about 1000 points!
Damn, you, you lazy trophy idea makers.
Why not just give us an 'easy' trophy year, ala Madden?
It's like they are either punishing Platinum hunters, or forcing you to play all game modes.
Then they have the balls to bring back trophies that are in '12.
I think i'll wait to finish the coveted One great career trophy first. Screw this BS list.

Savior (While playing as a goalie in an EA SPORTS™ Hockey League match, make a desperation save in OT) is annoying and will require boosting.

Winning the Vezina and James Norris Memorial trophies will be an annoying grind.

The Change Team item and Assign Captain item could potentially be hard to get.

NHL® Moments Live could be annoying.

Everything else is super easy.

[DarthPunisher]

It's kind of depressing how few of these trophies I'll probably end up with for this game. I just play around a little bit with the offline Be A Pro, but never touch the EASHL mode.

Should be an interesting year that's for sure. Although, having to do 3 different BAP careers is going to be a pain. Also the 30 EASHL matches without a disconnect, cause I don't think I even got 10 in a row in 12 thanks to freezing and EA disconnects.

[eXcElLeNt29]

I agree. Even more so if Be A Pro is like NHL12 with the constant freezing. I really hope they fix it this year so it doesn't freeze during that mode.

[DCSemi]

This trophies list is not as bad as NHL '11 & NHL '12.

I guess this one will be a bit easier except a few ones which could be kind of hard...

I'm still wondering why the list isn't built like those from Madden & NCAA Football... Oh well! Can't wait to play NHL '13!!

[Robotronfiend]

This will become my go-to game when I have some time, but don't really know what to play. Right now it's SSX. If I can't decide on a game, then I do a few drops on SSX, then pop in something more substantial. Amazon has the $15 game credit for pre-ordering this one (like Madden). I'll probably pre-order this and use the credit on Borderlands 2.

[felatio]

meh. Not too excited for the trophy list. Every year they seem to make it more ridiculously impossible with more and more emphasis on online play. Still stoked for the game but my goal of getting an NHL plat gets more difficult annually, and with all the other great games that are released around the same time of year I just simply don't have the necessary hours to put in.

I agree. I would LOVE to Plat an NHL game, since playing these takes away the pain of not making it to the NHL in real-life, which i wanted desperately.
I was so happy to finally Plat a MLB the show game - '12 - but NHL would mean so much more.
