So, we seem to be in a similar situation as last year. Killdozers got their group that's full(and I completely understand why, this is not a complaint at that in any way) and the babydozers are, well, stillborn. Other than me and the GM we got one application waiting and that's it. Two(+one) members... ...I think I'm gonna look for a new team because drop in games are only so fun as a guy who primarly play goaltender.

I'm a university student with two kids and a side gig as high school substitute, I think you don't have to worry about spending time in the game. He way I see it the babydozers are for the goons who are not good enough to be in the popular kids club.

Alright, I'll be setting up an entirely fresh SASHL team as a real alternative for those of us with inactive or no clubs. Seriousness level is that we have fun but still try to win the games, no skill prerequisites required. Name is still undecided, I'll post here when I figure one out.

Also, I've read over my posts in this thread and I realized it might appear like I'm bitter that you're not letting in more goons into the Killdozers. I'm not, seriously. I've been on the Killdozers and been forced to sit out because we already had a full team, I think going with two if we can sustain is a good thing. I might sound angry but I'm not, I'm just not good with this whole internet tone thing.  I just want to play some club games with cool people avoid the crap that's pubbies.

Xtanstic posted:What's a useful position for CSA? Also what's a good position for a baby like myself? I'm assuming fuckups as a winger are minimized compared to C or D. Also, always backcheck. It doesn't matter if you're stuck behind their net when they cross our blueline, always backcheck. The biggest way to be a waste of space is to cherrypick by their blueline continiously. But if you want a challenge but hate taking faceoffs then D is really fun and really not that much harder. As long as you don't pinch bad you should be fine. From the Hockey Player Thread: xzzy posted:It took me a good three or four games of messing up pinches before the coach pulled me aside and explained how it works: if the guy is fumbling for the puck and/or is not heading up ice, pinch if you think you can beat him. If he has the puck under control and he's skating towards you, just bail out and play defense.

Alright, we got a couple of games going and only ended up a few points from the division title. Playoffs have started now so I hope I'll see you guys tomorrow too so we can try to win four in a row! Also, Xtanstic, D was a really good position for you. Despite playing your first EASHL games ever you're already a lot better than a big majority of the pubbies I've seen in drop-in games.

Haha probably shouldn't have written that at 4am. Still, I say we did fine considering our competition was quite a bit experienced than us, we just need to get that zone entry fixed and I need to pick up my backchecking. The fact that we won the last game by the worst save attempt ever and the GWG being a tapout is not relevant. We also should continue picking out the smallest non-AI opponent and focus on him more than neccessary, I actually got a hate message from it yesterday.

drat I think we played a bit too long yesterday because I've slept four hours tonight and I'm tired as hell. At least I know I'm not going to feel as bad as a certain drunk goaltender though.  EDIT: Just played a game with my brother who ragequit after 4-1 in the early third, accusing me of using glitch goals. I haven't learned any of the certain glitchgoals in 14 yet. ;_; And he is a dude that use the "pass into goalkeeper" move anyway. Rutkowski fucked around with this message at 11:19 on Sep 21, 2013 |

Alright, apparently our recipe of success is the following: Put an enforcer on the right wing and watch him rack up goals and penalty minutes Put a new dude in goal and have one AI defender and another fresh dude as his other D Put our only offensive dude on the left wing and have him pull all the opposing players after him while also providing a lot of assists Put an AI on the center position and watch him rack up goals, assists and hits and setting up sick plays We're now in the second round of the playoffs after breaking out of a twelve game losing streak where we tried to play sensibly.

So yeah, the reason our opponents become so much better isn't because we go from D10 to D9, it's just bad luck with matchmaking. How do I know this? Because I checked some of our earlier opponents and they're from several different divisions. That 420 team we beat 6-3 and outplayed in every single way? They're D7. It's just EA matchmaking, again.

Just had an awesome game as a goalkeeper. Started with going down 3-0 on three consecutive 3-0 breakaways where both of my D were behind their entire team. Immediatly I set into the mindset that it's just how this game is going to be but then the entire team quit at once. Queue us(me and the AI) mounting a comeback where it's 3-3 after the first, 5-4 after the second(the AI let through their only 2-0 breakaway during the game leading to their lone goal) and 6-5 full time(their goal came when my game lagged so I didn't actually see it until after it happened). Normally, those comebacks are fun if a bit degrading on the stats. However, what made this an awesome comeback is because once my team left I somehow got access to their voicechat so I heard their continious raging when they couldn't pierce the heavy-forechecking 1-3-1 trap and promtly spent most of the game shouting at eachother in german. Gotta love that shaudenfraude.

Dude you played great at wing. To be honest, you should stay there instead of in the forward position because you did a lot better there. And none of us is especially high leveled. The highest skaters are at Pro(which isn't that high) and the highest overall is my goaltender at Superstar 1 but goaltender levels doesn't count. Your biggest hindrance is the lack of mic but you have a good enough sense of the play to compensate for that. Also, the reason me and nFredriksson mash so well is because we're, well, brothers and know eachother playstyles in and out. EDIT: Jersey picture is coming up tomorrow because I forgot to take a picture before I went offline.
