Vis, how do you plan drop-ins? Literally, watched my entire team not pass the puck (which led to numerous turnovers), not play defense, and kept running the goalie on the other team?

I let in 3 goals (my own team scored once on me). But hey, Im 3-0 as goalie since the other goalie is usually worse.

Its prob extra shitty b/c of the beta and same during the first month or so after release, but afterwards I found a lot of good games to be had. Like I said yesterday, if they allowed you to choose whether you want to play with or without a human goalie it would solve a lot of problems, since 99% of human goalies arent worth a shit. Ive just been practicing defenseman in dropins so far since u get plenty of opportunity usually. Good thing is when you do luck into a good teammate or two it can carry over to the next game now.

Been thinking about a club name and my best idea is to incorporate Rusev's slogan in some form of translation:

Rusev UDRYA Rusev MACHKA.
Translates into:
Rusev HIT Rusev CRUSH.

At minimal we could go with GAF MACHKA or NeoGAF MACHKA. Or we could do the whole thing replacing Rusev with a form of gaf.

Ill be around starting in about 30 mins for games if anyone is interested

I'm having an in and out burger, might be able to play in a bit

And I played some online vs and while I had a good time I could see the big problems Vis was talking about, ESPECIALLY switching players. It got to a point where I would just wait for my guy to switch defenders and I would just skate around him because there's that recovery time when you switch players.

Yea the defensive player switching is brutal. Hopefully thats a bug and not a conscious design decision thats fixed in the retail release.

[ph33nix]

I'm in a party of 4 at the moment full of fellas who are itching to play the end of this beta

 

[Delryk]

I guess it's time for us to find a team name..

i'll give it a shot. can't be worse than Stat's ideas.. lol

using hockey terms that some may not know to be a bit witty:

Pine Riders
Muffin Snipers
Grocery Stick Snipers


bah.. back to work.

 

[TheVisualizer]

Delryk I dont see any winners in your first batch. Keep trying... We are the furthest thing from snipers. Try to find something that describes our playstyle or results or that is funnier or more clever.

Im not married to the fact we need to put GAF into the actual team name either. I think it makes it look/read a lot worse without any benefit. We are not sponsored or required to do it, and the fact is we arent a top 100 team and have never carried a name over from year to year so there is no recognition factor either.

Edit: a phrase that best describes our playstyle is...
DEFINITION OF INSANITY

I feel the opposite. We are the GAF Crew/Syndicate/Club/Gang/Mafia.

And we were top 100 one year.

Team name ideas:

The GAF Attack Squadron
The GAF Stick Riders Snipers (combo of Delryk's names)
Stat and friends
Vis and Colleagues
The GAF Bardownskis

My serious names:

The GAF Grizzlies
GAF Dressing Room Danglers
GAF Insane Membranes
