[Ravin]

I'm on now looking for some 1v1 games. Lanteri you up for any?

 

[Lanteri]

1v1 is stupid.

 

[Ravin]

Then why you playing it now? lol

 

[Lanteri]

Then why you playing it now? lol

I'm playing OTP...

 

[killgod]

I've noticed that when you look up what ppl are playing in NHL it's ...totally wrong.

Last night it said you guys were BOS playing @ ANA. Clearly it was an EASHL game, but that's what it said.

 

[Lanteri]

I gotta chill with playing random OTP games. My +/- is already -10 thanks to an idiot human goalie divin' all over the place and shit.

But, I need to play a fuckton of games cause my dude feels slowwww as shit. Gotta get them attribute points.

 

[PP]

game is fun but shit is whack. glass breaks in random spot. hip check shit is LOL and i got goalie interference while on a penalty shot wtf. i also hate how the game makes u randomly fight.

 

[killgod]

haven't had glass break once in 18 games played

hip check is LOL

you must be a bit retarded to get a penalty on a penalty shot. jesus lol.

randomly fight? never seen this.

I've only played BAP (15G) and haven't seen a broken glass yet. I am addicted right now to BAP. Every time I turn it on, I know I have to force myself off 2-3hrs later. I finally got my BAP to be a star of the game with 2G, 2A in an OT win (scored winning goal).

 

[PP]

KG, i barely bumped the goalie and he went into mega dive animation and it gave me goalie interference. must be me...

 

[Fappin Raptor]

This happened to me in an EASHL game. If you bump the goalie hard enough it will come up as you initiating a fight and then the douches on the other team can fight you if they want.

 

[Rip]

I just experienced 2 flaws at once. I got hip checked without the puck into their goalie and got an interference. I feel I got trolled.

These late hits and hip checks are extreme man.

 

[Ravin]

Yeah the hip check thing is kind of insane. I hope a patch fixes it because me, as a 5"11' and 187lbs, and a hitting rating of defalt 40 (Sniper) will just use hip check all game instead of trying to hit people for real.

I play defense and I don't hip check. I played another team that would only hip check and it was annoying. I <3 defense though. They need to fix the turnovers thing though. I am typically the guy who dumps the puck and every time I do I get a turnover.

I don't have a team so I play drop-in and I have to say that defenders online are so stupid. They don't stay on their side (same can be said about any position online...) and they don't know what the blue line is. They just hang in front of the goalie before they get to our blue line. I finally had a teammate who could actually play fundamental defense and they barely got passed our blue line.

It's hard to get points, assists, or good stats as a defender in this game (kind of same with real life, don't think there's an accurate stat to rate a defender) so I typically will sacrifice a pokecheck and hit the guy instead lol. Looks better on the highlights and stats. I should probably stop doing that and know when do to each one.

Yeah this is really annoying. I'm getting credited for like 7 turnovers a game cause of it.

It is a turnover, that is why it counts. When your team doesn't get the puck, you basically gave it to them. How are you dumping it in? If you are slapping it in, you're doing it wrong. Flip dump is best. Thing is, the defence needs to tell the forwards what is happening. It sucks with drop in games and guys without mics, but be vocal. If you have the puck and are coming up the ice, before you hit the red line tell the forwards you are dumping it in.

With the game only being a few days old, people don't have insane speed or hitting, so getting to the puck is a challenge. Forwards need a running start. If I'm sitting on the blue line waiting for you to do something and you dump it in, I have to start skating and by then, I'm fucked. So just be vocal about it, or move the puck up quickly and avoid the turnover.

If you are playing drop in games on defence, don't ever worry about points. It useless as all fuck. Because guys in OTP games only care about themselves and don't use the defence. EASHL, defence get used because you get guys who understand the importance of defence and setting up a play. I don't know how many times we'll play and same thing. Killgod up to me on the wing, drop back to KG on point. From there he can shoot, back down to me, to slot, to other defender.

Points will come when you play with the right people.

Techincally it is, yes.

How I dump it depends on the situation and location. I find that I get a lot of lucky bounces doing slaps, even if it's wrong.

Also every drop-in I've played my team didn't have mics so yeah.

Agreed. When you're able to be vocal it's great. I had a team that had great chemistry yesterday. We were actually cycling the puck. Typically when a forward is on the rush he tries to go on his respective side, take a shot, dangle around and take a shot, or do a one timer/cross crease. I found a lot more success in getting in the zone, slowing down, and letting something develop. People just try to take a shot on the rush too much.

Yeah, points aren't a big deal. I don't get recognition but I wouldn't anyway even if I played forward; People are greedy bastards.

I see most defenders trying to snipe all the time with their slappers from the point. The success rate of that is very, very low. I always aim low for the pads for a rebound. In this game I think rebounds are a lot more successful than anything else, at least this far into the year. When I actually do play forward I'm typically playing in front of the goalie and a lot of people leave that open and just chase wherever the puck goes. People's defensive fundamentals are a crack on EASHL.

 

[Chrispy]

I really wish goalie in BAP mode was better. If u give up one goal in a period u get a F for stats for that period.

 

[Ravin]

Any 360 guys want to play a game?


Also remember to sign up for the Hockey Supremacy tournament.

Nice intro, the volume got loud as hell once the hockey started nice goal.
