Playstations.

70-17 record

17 losses are all to playstations. 

All games are lost the same way, we cant win a faceoff, they dont lose the puck, they skate super fast hit super hard poke perfectly and whats worse they keep picking up pucks they have 0 business picking up nonstop.  They dont need to lift stick or poke to take the puck away from us, we just lose it near them yet the opposite is not true while they purposely skate right into our players and rarely ever lose it.  Our passes are going everywhere, their goalies are on crack, we miss the net nonstop. 

We joke that they are the best at doing automatic things that they have no control of. 


Despite all this, we often beat them but sometimes they win by 1. 

I dont get it.

    As an NHL and PlayStation aficionado I regret to inform you we just are better and more competitive.

    But really, I remember reading past years that xbox had an advantage over PS players in cross-play. I personally think it could just be confirmation bias due to the platform being clearly visible.

      My experience is that PS players play overall way worse. 

      They rely on the ability to not lose the puck and take really bad risks skating through players nonstop.  They also force passes non stop again due to the fact that they rarely get intercepted. 

      Its actually pretty obvious they have an advantage to me just how they play where xbox players cannot afford to take the same chances. 


      keep in mind I play 3s mostly so the problem is amplified greatly as there is more space.  In 6s, the issue is greatly diminished in impact and may be way harder to notice.

    I noticed this as well, I turned off cross play. They had faster reactions times but also they curl away from the play going in circles, to annoying to continue to play 

  • Never read more bs than in this thread. If you could not see the ps or xbox logos you would not see any difference. Winning in silence, losing in complaint....

      Actually i can tell you with 100% accuracy which ones are and arent PS without looking at logos.  I purposely tried to avoid looking at logos and call them as a test to see if I was just psyching myself and I was right every single time when checking after the game..
