So, this EASHL business, for a total newcomer (not to nhl games, I've just ignored it in the past), do you just create a player and get dumped in with pubbies, or can you make/join teams of your pals?

Getting dumped in with different pubbies every game is called "Drop-In"

You can make/join teams with your pals.

I'm slightly apprehensive about asking this, but are there any goon teams that will tolerate a foul mouthed English guy who will almost certainly screw things up in the most hilariously inept way possible?

Thanks for the feedback about 16 vs. Legacy.

It's something I probably won't notice when I'm playing, but watching clips to see how "real" the arenas are out of curiosity and the NBC experience, I can't help but notice that virtual Doc Emrick sounds incredibly stiff as compared to real Doc. Every other commentator I've ever heard do a hockey video game (Hughson/Simpson, Thorne/Clement, Hahn/Remenda, Olczyk & Ferraro on the current game) seem to be able to sound like normal people in a recording studio, but DOC!....seems like...he's, a robot...AND IS CONFUSED ABOUT WHEN TO BE EXCITED, while "Score!" is done as if he's bored. Kind of disappointing.

There are a bunch of less frequent lines (especially post-game ones) that Olcyzk kind of trips over and at this point I think it's not even to sound more authentic by keeping first takes, they just don't care. (The one that comes to mind first is "I'd like to congratulate the coach for continuing to c-coach and...c-carp late into the third period").

I know they have the visual warnings but for all the stupid ~realism~ stuff they put in that nobody asked for, I'm amazed I can't hear the linesmen yelling "OFF! OFF! OFF!" or "NO! NO! NO!" for offsides and no-icing.

Welcome to Ted's salt emporium. Glad to have you on team bone.

Also I got our custom goal horns working along with between play / period music. Needs to be curated a bit but it works now across party chat and stream.

Next up is the overlays. Once we get the ticker at the bottom working we are officially pathetic.

What's the custom goal horn/goal song you guys use? That's been one of my favorite features of the PS3/4 games because I'm a big nerd. I just wish they had fight and goal review music.

And is there a link to Goon-streamed games? I could get in on watching some of that action.

On chat I'm either apathetic/depressed or more excited than I have any right to be. How we're actually seems to have little emphasis on either.

Is there any difference between the physical disc and the downloadable game? PSN has the download for $24 this week and if it doesn't run any worse (I've never downloaded a game), I'm taking the disc back.

no, the new consoles dont run off the disc anyway. they install and run it off the hd, the disc is your DRM

Yeah when I got a PS4 and realized this I felt pretty stupid about getting two games on disc for it. Basically just buy all your games digitally if price isn't a factor because all a disc gives you is inconvenience from having to swap discs and it doesn't save hard drive space

Awesome, thanks. I got 16 for like $39 at Walmart on Thanksgiving thinking it wouldn't get much better than that, though I was going on vacation and (not being able to play it anyway while gone) didn't open it in case I could find it cheaper for an instance just like this.

Welp, it finally happened. After numerous excellent setups, only to be robbed by the AI equivalent of a non-injured Carey Price, Potatoes O'Bourke slams home his first goal since signing with the xbone crew of Ted's Used PS4 Emporium. Look at this beaut!
