Select player types live? Awesome, that'll totally prevent people from just sitting there doing nothing in the lobby for two minutes

In '13, PWF made better TWD than TWD

I don't know, this all sounds kind of hokey to me and I bet it's going to be annoying and lovely and won't stop people from being fast and doing dangles

I see a bunch of the old 'dozers playing the beta and I'm just over here getting my rear end kicked in Rocket League wishing I had a PS4 code :smith:

Man, I wish I ever played EASHL with someone from this site as well as we play Rocket League. And more realistic physics to boot!

Are any of you guys playing Rocket League? I know it's not the same as hockey but it scratches a pretty similar itch. I can't seem to put it down.

PSN: IceFortJohnnyAce, help me quench my insatiable car soccer lust.

There should really be a 3v3 Rocket League...league.

I played an EASHL drop in game last night as a TWD, had 5 hits and a goal in a 5-1 win and my drop-in record is still 0-0-0 and I have no stats

I'm also going to practice and get a new microphone so that the old Killdozers will welcome me back hopefully :sweatdrop:

Fair warning we have 2 guys sitting every night as it is from the 15 crew so I imagine there's going to be some push back on that until we get a bit further from launch and guys start playing less.

put me in coach my hands are fancier than ever :smith:

I probably need some time to get acclimated to the new game since I haven't played since like 12 or 13 anyway, so that's fine

e: If there's people sitting, is there a way to join drop-ins together? Maybe would could at least get 3 or 4 of us doing something in the meantime if the squad is too full

When I saw the builds when they were released me exact thoughts were "I'm never going to be anything but PWF/TWD" and after playing with both of them I feel like I was 100% right. If I'm playing Center, I'll probably go with TWF over PWF, but if I'm a winger, I'm going to take PWF every time.

So much for dedicated servers, this game is so laggy it's literally unplayable over 50% of the time.

A few of us are playing drop-ins right now. Add Smooovey for some good times

Bummer, I was on last night but fell asleep, so I don't know of anyone came on. I'll be on Monday and/or Tuesday night after work.

Sidebar: Do we think we should have a separate drop-in LFG thread so we can keep this one to general game discussion? I would say one each for PS4 and XBone but lol.

The AI is still terrible but just from watching a game for a minute on the bench or as a goalie in BAP, you can see that it's noticeably better than it was a few years ago. Then again, I haven't really played since NHL12 or 13, so I might just not remember.

Pleads posted:

If you have one account with PS+, other accounts on the system can play online as if they have PS+ even if they do not. So you should be able to set up a second PSN account on your PS4 and participate in EASHL as an entirely new player.

Since there is no unlocking of cards and stats and poo poo, this is now a feasible option with no real consequences aside from splitting your stats and badges.

Someone try it and confirm.

My sister's boyfriend has an account on my PS4 and we couldn't matchmake in Rocket League together unless he bought PS+, we could only play 1v1 local.

When it happened with us, he had to create a PSN account on my PS4 and the get the PS+ free trial in order to access the online features. When he just created the guest account and attached it to the PSN he registered, it wouldn't let us join any online matches; it didn't work until he got the PS+ trial.

If I had a goal for every time i made a good defensive play to poke/lift/hit the CPU off the puck only to have him or a teammate still be the first one there and still manage a scoring chance, I'd win every game 25-0

if the first thing you did when you got this game wasn't turn off the commentary and turn all the arena and in-game fx all the way up you're doing it wrong

I basically just play off-line HUT and built a team of all Miami alumni plus Dylan Larkin and Luke Glendening because Gary Steffes doesn't have a HUT card and Austin Czarnik, Riley Barber, and Blake Coleman aren't in the game.

Did it though? Because when I'm playing Rocket League, my ping hovers around the high 30s/low 40s and I can download poo poo at like almost 2 megs but when I'm playing EASHL every 3rd game is choppy as gently caress and I'm rendered to a useless piece of poo poo that skates around in circles

I'm pretty much always the captain for my squad and it makes no difference. Maybe they fixed the input lag? Because the gameplay is still laggy as poo poo like 40% of the time.

It took them 15 years to have the bench celebrate when you score a goal, so don't get too crazy now
