this again
I’m on the Personal Computer, to answer your question Soviet. And yeah, it seems like if it’s a glancing scrape then they don’t blow up. I’ve witnessed this many times, my usual group of friends has a guy that decides to kill one person at the start of every game as much as he can. Fun times.
what gets me is when you rocket boost with next to no speed, and the moment you do you blow through a guy.
I need to come up with a list of dos and don’ts for this game. Shit like “don’t hit the fucking ball back to our end, ever” or “don’t call out DEFENCE then immediately rush the ball” or “How fucking useful do you think you are, standing 3 inches from the goaline, stationary???”.
My biggest pet peeve is starting in the middle position and getting fucked boost rammed from behind by the guy that ought to be hanging back. It happens so often that I’m in the habit of just steering to either side immediately.
I need a decent level team. Im no pro but god damn these fools in random teams suck so bad
omg yeah. Like, I’m not expecting dudes to fly through the air and hit the ball, and be able to shoot on net from our end. But it’s the guys who race to the ball every faceoff, no matter what position they are, or rocket boost to steal a shot off you from 40 feet behind you when you’re lined up perfectly, or feel the need to come join you in the corner on offence, or the goalies that literally just hide in the net all game. Simple common sense idea’s in sports that should just work.
Like you ask some people to remember to play defence or hang back when you the defender occasionally has to chase the ball on offence, and they lose their minds…meanwhile playing with them is like playing baseball, and your second baseman keeps smacking the ball out of the pitcher’s hand and pushing third base out of the way so he can try to catch the ball and tag third base, and every at bat he’s batting backwards to shoot it at the dugout.
It seems way too many people don’t realize that sometimes the best play to make, is none at all. So many dude’s see the ball and just want to speed burst at it without ever thinking.
in defence, very often I see that guy just fucking sit still, or start backing up, which pisses me off more. Asshole, when the faceoff countdown is going down, look where everybody is. Corner guys rush the ball, centre back stays there, and if there are multiple centre back guys, one deals with the ball and one goes to get boost. Dude who hangs back has to inch forward a little, and be prepared to rush the ball if it stays in the centre after everybody hits it.
I can’t count the number of times I go into the corner, knock the ball out front, check to see if my teammates have a good shot, and both of them are either inside the opponents net thinking this is hockey and they can bang in a quick rebound, or they’re both going to get boost and our now useless, or are so out of position it isn’t funny. Like, when somebody goes into the corner with the ball, my first instinct is to get ready to head to the net, not go to the other corner, or hang out behind the guy with the ball.
I virtually never sit still. In fact, if you watch the replays I’ve posted, you’ll see I tend to drive in circles all the time. It’s a good way to stay on the move while staying in one place. I’m hard to bull around and I always have momentum.
like dudes in this game bitch just to bitch…i make a bad pass and give it away, they get a goal…meanwhile, nobody else even touches net, so i bring THAT up…dude starts accusing me of not playing defence. Like i can’t just point out the row of zero’s for his stats, and the 4 epic saves on my stats. Bitch, I been in net while you do nothing but fail at offence.
I hate that shit. I don’t mind you being bad at defence, just fucking play defence. When you suck at offence too (like NEVER FUCKING BEING OPEN EVER), and force my brilliance to sit back on defence, you just fuck everything up.
I’ll reposition, but there are moments when I’m sitting back, and just know that the balls is inevitably coming out, so I just kinda wait. I like to play just behind the middle of the arena, so I can fly in for setups (i HATE HATE HATE people who sit in corners or right inside the fucking net, thus removing them from mattering when i centre), or usually just smash the ball back into the corners, to bounce in front of the net. I’m a fucking awful goalie at times, I panic so often lol.
i’ve pulled some crazy saves like that, need to get on them replays.
Goal @ 3:03 holy sweet merciful fuck.
I’ve been practicing upside down sliding ever since.
gonna hop on now for a few games, if anybody is down.
I saw #10 and I was like, I did that just the other day. Then the rest. Wow!
Had great games with a random twam last night ripped off a savage win streak
Too bad ill never see them again :’(
That move where you steer someone away from the ball. I just did that to my teammate who was rushing the ball as I watched my long shot go in. Pretty sure he boost rammed me from behind the series before.
Every time I have a perfectly lined up shot, and some dickhead on my team comes flying in from behind me to smash it off the backboard 10 feet above the net, I want to punch baby Jesus in the taint.
You guys think 3 v 3 is bad? Try NHL’s Be A Pro. 5 on 5 (technically 6 on 6, with the goalies) and it’s a fucking nightmare. Dudes who think they’re Gretzky and get the puck and go end to end only to obviously get annihilated by a defencemen, then bitch at the rest of the team when they’re losing. Defencemen (in hockey you STAY on defence if that’s your position) who pinch in, then just stay there forever. Or never play defence ever, like some sort of retarded 3rd winger. Defence who are never around then complain about the shitty goalie who can’t save the puck 9 breakaways in a row. Defence who complain that the forwards never pass them the puck, then when they get the puck either lose it or just randomly shoot it to no effect.
Got damn, if I could find my Xbox headset, I would have lost my voice by now from screaming at idiots.
I played like dogshit last night
so mad. had like 2 real good games out of 10 and some were blowouts. feelsbadman
It’s really something how inconsistent my games are, too. I think my win % is just under 50, last I checked. I spent so many games never scoring goals, at first. I’m actually susprised I stuck with it. RL was too fun to give up.
You can be heavily influenced by your teammates, sadly. Stealing shots, knocking the ball where it shouldn’t go, terrible centre attempts, failing to setup for your centre attempts, not playing defence (forcing you to either let in goals while you play offence, or forcing you to stay in goal).
I’ve had games where I can easily score 3+ goals, and get a couple assists, and other games where I can’t even get a shot on net, because my team is just THAT bad.
any PC players up for a few games today?
I seriously hope we can create parties via cross play at some point.
I just googled- they are supposed to be working on it :tup:
