  5. Eggink VAN B1 Games

    in Schedule A Game

    Posted

    I will be available at some point nightly from around 10:00pm - 12:30 ET Mon - Thurs to get my games in. Please let me know your availability and I will adjust the best I can to get em in (having kids messes everything up).

    Looking for McMarkis, Mbobbyhall, Bigfoot, and Skip. Can make time over the weekend if needed.

  7. Tips for Genesis Rookies

    When you say warp in, do you mean just as the guy is pulling a deke near the net, or even earlier when he is approaching?

    Also, it was all good and fine when AngryJay was speaking hypothetically, but now you have come around and confirmed how crap I am based on actually playing me! Thanks a lot! (Just kidding. I appreciate the tips and hopefully the 2nd half of my season will be improved.)

    Anyhoo, these MG tips are great! I am giong to try not using C. (And no wonder I was getting frustrated when Moog would stack the pads and freeze -- when I pressed C! -- as a dude casually skated by to shoot on a yawning cage.)

    lol - well your last game was a lot better vs. me, less rushing which helped your D. If it makes you feel better, I played AngryJay once in my life at the Connecticut tourney, and he beat me 10-1! I was probably diving a lot.

    Always try to get there with your D or quick forward, but if you know you can't, I would warp in sooner as there's always a bit of a delay. Breakways vs CPU goalies are too easy.

    AngryJay is on point just by looking at the stats. Be careful with over rushing with defensemen, I had a number of breakaways vs you Aqua as the D were MIA quite often.

    I also never hit the C button with the goalie. One trick with the G that can work on a breakaway is to warp into the goalie, move him aggressively towards the player on the breakaway. By shortening the ice you can mess up his move or trip him. You can also warp in - move up - then warp out! This can really mess with the opponent's timing. I like to dive occasionally as well, but I wouldn't recommend it!

    Hey Aqua, wish I had more insight on the game to give you some tips, but I'm not qualified enough for that. Keep playing, exi as much as possible, pick the brains of those willing to forth come any help. I saw TomKabs responded to one of your posts offering help, run don't walk to get in touch with him via AIM, or PM here, he has tons of great insight, and is always willing to help, will go as far as watching videos of your games if you record and send to critique, and give helpful insight on what you did wrong, right, what you could have done, where you need to improve, and how.

    Keep at it, take your lumps, don't get upset if you lose 14-0, learn from it, and try to make site you don't get beat that bad the next time, some get upset with guys running up the score, me I get upset when they don't, I need to know I'm playing so bad that someone can hand me that kind of loss, nothing worse than someone letting up because they don't want to run it up, and you maybe score a couple goals, and they shut it down, and don't score, and you think you improved, but it really just was a mercy fake sense of improvement, that's my opinion on that anyways.

    GL Aqua, hope to see you around for exis, and in future leagues.

    Full disclosure, I usually throttle it back some if I have a really big lead late in the 3rd, only because I've been on the wrong side of those 14-0 games a lot of times and it can be discouraging. I'm not going to dive out of the way with my goalie or anything, but I might not look for that breakaway if it's 10-0.

    I have played 3 people in the B league so far, and eggink destroyed me the most, so yeah, I think he is the favorite, based on my limited exposure. (I sure hope he is the best of everyone, or I am in serious troulbe!)

    I will say after the whallopping, he offered some excellent constructive criticism, so you can count me as a fan of egg!

    Thanks - you need to have variety so your opponent doesn't know your every move. Certain things come with time, like not always setting up one-timers to your center because the vets are always playing those passing lanes. Learning to switch to manual goalie IMO is the most important basic skill to learn, you can't allow people to abuse your CPU goalie.

    Your last game vs me was definitely your best. Sometimes it takes getting used to somebody's style too.
