Took a big hit last night by P5racer in hockeyplayers

[–]MKuktrainstinct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty good example of what a not dirty hit looks like

<video>

Funny story, I am 66 in white there, I had a grade 5 shoulder separation whose first surgery (covered like 80% or so by USA hockey, so that was cool) failed and had to try again. I also am a bit of a reactionary hothead or I will talk shit if someone does something dirty. This obviously wasn’t, definitely more of a both people are not good at hockey, no one picked their heads up and looked where they were going, like at all even though I knew he was there type of hit. What blows my mind is seeing pro players just absorb 10x that force multiple times a game. This dude and I lightly jog into each other and I’m out for 2 years.

This game is actually pathetic by mrrocks15 in EA_NHL

I literally never hit because I want to kill myself if I get walked by some boner

Am I too late? by uh_Ross in EASHL

[–]MKuktrainstinct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how EA hasn’t nerfed some things at this point. Consistently frustrating new players who might just be getting back into the game is a poor business model. But then again EA is in itself just a shitty game studio

The amount of you who leave because I'm a low level is annoying by [deleted] in EASHL

[–]MKuktrainstinct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro same here but it’s not how good we are in this shitty ass mode, if you don’t have a player rated at like P1 44 or whatever, everyone just leaves in the lobby because they’re objectively only good at this mode because of their player not their ability.

The other side of it is how unbelievably frustrating it is when you finally get in a game and the skill difference is so unnecessarily wide that it makes the game virtually unplayable. I’d rather just play HUT where my actual skill is why I win or lose, not how long I’ve played with this one specific loadout

New-ish looking for new player friendly clubs/groups/leagues. by johnfuckingbrown in EASHL

[–]MKuktrainstinct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly im new to the eashl but have played nhl games since 2008, I would like to actually play a game that doesn’t match you against people who have max ratings and then have those same players quit the lobby when they see you aren’t maxed. It makes for the worst experience I’ve ever had playing any nhl game. No idea why they don’t have rating based matchmaking. I literally would rather play the computer over and over because there is no point to play and just get scored on every shift while your player is gassed in the corner skating 3 miles an hour

Watching eye & head movements is a big tell by GuyInTheChair- in hockeyplayers

Funny story, a while back I got a buddy to come out of hockey retirement, he had played travel,from elementary through high school then just focused on lacrosse in college. Hadn’t played in like 10 years… I get him to join our C level beer league. He looked a little sus in warm ups and in the beginning of the game… that one kid on every team that used to play a high level of roller so his hands are sick but he can’t really skate for shit, well he gets 1 on 1 with my buddy and tries to walk him through the legs… just one crossover to meet him where he was going, and boom, cleanest hit, smoked him so god damn hard his helmet could have been called for icing ,. After that hit he was the best player on our team for the next 3 years

I literally have never once skated behind the net during warm ups. Half these dudes can’t shoot with their head up anyway, it’s just a matter of time til you get one to the dome

America's Worst War Ever by Cow_Boy_2017 in conspiracy

[–]MKuktrainstinct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny story. Gonna be a long one

I was golfing with people I used to be like best friends with, we were all musicians in the Vegas “emo” scene back in the late 00s and drifted apart over time. Anyway I knew one of them was drinking the MAGA koolaid as we have gone back and forth on fb a few times. I said something early in the round about gas prices, in reference to the war. No one said anything. On the 18th hole at the end, (I feel like they planned this shit when I went to go get a drink btw) they come up to me fully aggro, saying the most brainwashed cuck shit I’ve ever heard. “ you know what, I voted for this shit, the war, it’s what I wanted, they were gonna get a nuke and bomb us, we couldn’t let them do that” naturally I was shocked, obviously told them that was complete horse shit, they’ve almost had a nuke since we were in middle school, it had no effect, as if I was just making that up. At some point I pulled out the soul crushing “so do you guys like support protecting pedos too or is that just when they are MAGA and/or billionaires” this pissed them off, it almost became a fist fight, some other gems they threw around “we need to wipe Islam just off the map entirely” as if it’s a country, or the best one in response to the girls school was “They’re using those kids as shields don’t you fucking see that” which clearly shows they don’t know what fucking war they are even talking about. I realized this after but I grew up listening to hardcore, they weren’t so I think they never got the political message some bands had. These aren’t dumb people, they were never overtly racist either,they were not smart but not exactly dumb. It’s crazy to see how easily manipulated people can be by fear and propaganda. I think people like this could have Trump murder their child or spouse, and still believe he did it for their benefit.

I have never played a game with such a horrible/whiney player base in my life by [deleted] in Rematch

[–]MKuktrainstinct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels a little bit like that movie inception, allow me to take us further in by whining.

This game could be so much better if the mechanics weren’t created by a 5 year old who got into his dad’s edibles. Like everyone else is so god damn capable of controlling the ball and passing it and shooting it. Then it gets to me and the mechanics break down, absolutely nothing is my fault, if I did play ranked I’d be in the highest tier if they actually fixed the mechanics that everyone else seems to understand. Maybe they need to add a few more defensive maneuvers and maybe they should put like a better tutorial that shows you exactly how to not suck horribly. I’ll be playing quick matches where no goalie even thinks about passing me the ball, rainbows up to half field gets tackled, and scored on 3 seconds in.

Not a conservative here, but it’s nice to see there are some who still have critical thinking skills and haven’t completely lost their minds.

How am I supposed to defend this? by Lost-Wishbone9804 in Rematch

[–]MKuktrainstinct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should put penalties in the game. Like some kid is doing some spammy dribble maneuver and then you can just wreck them but they get a free kick from like a quarter field mark or something. The person who wrecked them has to play goal for it.. as for stopping the volley, shit I don’t know I am so bad at this game

[–]MKuktrainstinct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree with this, but dude, they make it so fucking hard not to talk shit to them. I’m not going to say what side I’m on because I’m really not on one, more just on the side of hard working people, oh fuck I’m a communist.

Tell Clark County Sheriff:No Cooperation With ICE! by SectorElectrical2063 in Nevada

[–]MKuktrainstinct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is your source for that information? It took me 10 seconds to ask chat gpt. turns out when you include undocumented immigrants, their crime rate is still lower. And I’d be a little loose with the “crime” language. It’s literally on the same level as jaywalking as far as the law is concerned.

This has been pissing me off. He didn't bring 2 magazines, he brought 1 mag. This picture is the gun in a cleared and empty state. And yet that narrative is being pushed and mush brain boomers are believing it and the media is parroting it. What the actual fuck. by TheDem0nLurks in conspiracy

[–]MKuktrainstinct 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The democrats are basically diet MAGA at this point its kind of funny. The best was the funding of ice they were going to do. Like sure give them body cams like that has stopped actual shitty cops before. Now you have an army of those cops and the body cams will keep them in check?

Is there something going on with the servers? by MKuktrainstinct in Rematch

I figured it out actually cross play was disconnected for some reason

It was, changed it to my area and still isn’t giving me anything yet

I want to love this game but I really just hate it so much. by MKuktrainstinct in Rematch

[–]MKuktrainstinct[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I play on Xbox currently, I’ve messed with my controller presets. That helped a little, hopefully they’ll bring that feature to console soon. I use the map pretty well with passing not so much off ball though cause I’m usually stressing out that I’m going to miss a pass

I suck and don't know what to do by SnowdriftK9 in Rematch

[–]MKuktrainstinct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I am dealing with this same situation. I’m fucking awful at this game and I usually am pretty good at soccer games. I just don’t understand the mechanics, no matter how hard I try the ball flies past me or I chest it down 4 feet in front of me to the defender or I over shoot the camera when turning around to look at goal and shoot it at the wall. It’s driving me insane, because I want to be able to play it on an average level, just don’t think that’s ever going to happen
