BUMPING this post. Thanks to @smozomafor sleuthing this, but the origin of the phrase "EA Special" is confirmed to have been coined by @backhandfloater. And indeed because @IAmFleury'sHipCheck was abusing people with that shot

Already downloaded the roms. Great Job as always!

FACT. When I first joined, it was @Sebe_The_Legendwho took the time to repeatedly kick my ass over and over in exis, share his knowledge, and ultimately get my game up to "A". Other two who were integral to this were @Zalexand @smozoma EDIT: That experience is also why I will exi against anyone who asks. It meant a lot to me in the beginning to have an "A" level player play against me. Almost all of them wouldn't bother. I know I don't do it as often these days, but I really wanted to pay that experience forward.

what is "long gone"? dead? why can't someone take a 2 year break of a 5 year break and then come back and be hardcore again? people have kids, get wives, etc.... then kids grow up, wives get boring, and they need more excitement!

Actually the gayest way to score a goal would probably be on a ram in a settee with compatible window treatments wearing mesh pj's and a Ring Pop - not that there's anything wrong with that. The oldest goal would be sitting in a Hover Round chair wearing Totes and sucking on a Werthers Original when you become incontinent and score on yourself. Coolest goal would be at Hef's house in aviator shades with a snes '94 cart underneath the entertainment center keeping it level the while Playmate girls feed you grapes, you score a okey doke goal and say, "neat-o bandit-o". Most Zen like goal would be cross legged in the nude against Arena 00 while mild altering fumes escape from the bong you made with controller 2.

And I'm going to defend a shot that I love to do (some call it the EA Special... thx to bhf ;-) ) The wrist shot / rebound goal is a great tactic to keep the other guy on his toes. I'll be the first to admit it doesn't work all the time but you need to know with particular players where that shot is most effective to make the G dive out of the way. It does take some knowledge to know where that play will work depending on the guy shooting. Some might consider it cheap, I call it diversifying your offensive strategy. What separates the best from the rest in most of our lgs is that someone who can use all types of attack strategies. I'll point one person that comes to mind right now... he's a guy that is better than most at doing utilizing every offensive look is scribe. Imo, no matter how good you are at one aspect of the game, once you have a game plan that's predictable, your opponent has an immediate advantage.

In my book a goal is a goal, no matter how lame it is, but the ones i find to be the lamest are pass shots, it just rubs me the wrong way, but if people wanna shoot them, go for it.
