Re: Nhl 24 the game for everyone and anyone.
Kid,, you've missed the entire point of my post. I'm flat out saying "flip dumps shouldn't require mastery and people are frustrated that they require mastery" and you're telling me that I'm "grossly misrepresenting what happens here" while saying "flip dumps require mastery." I'll leave the flip dump discussion there because there's no middle ground to be found here clearly.
The speeds in this game are out of a cartoon and incidental contact is inconsistient at best. Again, if you can't admit that the agility and accerlation currently seen in online play is way beyond real life, then there's no middle ground to be found here so we can agree to disagree.
As far forechecking strategies go,. I've covered this extensively. 2/4 options we have are fictional, the other 2/4 are not executed properly. And there's no room for discussion here, it's objectively true that the weak side lock and the 2-3 are not executed properly. Theres no coach in the world that would watch the AI run either of these forechecks and go "that's a great 2-3" or "thats a greart weak side lock." And the 1-2-2 "aggressive" and "passive" are just silly. I mean, what are those? Can you explain? Have you had a coach tell you to run a "1-2-2 passive" haha? Have you seen a 1-2-2 where both offensive players in the second wave stand on the boards and give up the entire middle of the ice? If you have, please let me know so I know where you're coming from and I can refrain from assuming 1-2-2's are being taught in a rather consistient manner world wide. As I've explained in many posts before, the 1-2-2 should never result in both of your 2nd wave forecheckers being on their respective boards. If this isn't common knowledge, again my apologies for assuming and I'll be better about explainign my position going forward. So I guess, no...its not ridiculosu to suggest that theres no real forechecks happening in this game because its quite literally ture. There isnt. Theres no pretending here.
And I'd like to add that evidence gathered by me to present this objective fact is based on observing how full AI teams execute said forechecks. You again,assumed my skill, assumed my lack of skill I should say, and told me that its my fault that the AI don't execute real life forechecks without even asking the question of where im seeing this happen. This is why no middle ground is ever found. I mean, there's no middle ground here and you're telling me a fact is wrong lol.
