Of course, there's plenty of intimidation going on and with your rivals trying to talk you down, it's definitely time to whip out the console and look to dominate on the ice. But now that we have your confidence and ego boosted to the next level, it's also time to sit back and think about ways to improve your game. Sure, you're pretty good, but it takes the best to be the best, especially if you want to take down your NHL 10 opponents on both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. With that in mind, don't talk a better game than you can play, because nobody wants to be the man that has no plan.

Most importantly, don't be too overconfident, because all that will get you is a quick lesson on fundamentals and a frustrating gaming experience. Instead, it's just fine to be confident, but make sure you have an idea of what you want to carry out each game. Your opponent might have an ego that is just as big, so the time is now to make them shut their mouth. The best way to accomplish that is by playing tight defense, which can be accomplished by mastering the NHL 10 controls for whichever console you own (PS3 or Xbox 360). Once you have your thumbs and fingers all ready to go, it's time to devise a plan that works. 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. Blocking the lanes may be unadvisable while driving on the freeway, but as a defensive measure while playing PS3 and Xbox NHL 10, it's the right idea. Just position yourself in between the player in control of the puck and your goal, and your opponent will be in a lousy position. Blocking the lanes will really botch up your opponent's plans to score a goal. And at the same time, you've made it a lot easier on yourself to achieve your own goal: deflecting your opponent's shots.
