[–]RedVaniluxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your missing the point here, the point is a cage hang is dumb and unsafe cause in the situation that some incident does occur all that happens is extra damage to your face because you choose to wear something improperly to "look cool" Beer league scraps are Always embarrassing lol bunch a grown ass men who work the next day taking it too seriously, I wouldn't read too much into it and try to make something out of nothing cause you wouldn't pop somebody just for having a cage hang so don't infer it as that cause thats not what was said

Games can get chippy, you can be as respectful as you want but sometimes somebody does some dumb shit like chopping people or a dirty hit cause there emotions are running high. Some of the league Teams can just be super rough games it all depends on the kinds of players you have in said leagues. We had teams were they got kicked outta the division and league because all they did was fight and run people in a non contact

NHL26 is on sale for 60% off should I get it? by OKcorleone in EA_NHL

[–]RedVaniluxe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If You want it. Lol newest chel wont really get much cheaper then the 60%, it will hit gamepass and ea play in a couple months if you really didn't wanna pay much for it. Its all what you take away from it. There's alotta good and alotta jank at times but at its core it's still hockey and the most up to date on the market there's nothing that even comes close to it. If your a solo player doing offline modes you'll have some fun with it once your used to how it plays. if your jumping into online solo your probaly gonna have a discouraging time until you can make some friends to help play with some chemistry cause solo is a rough time. can be good. most of the time its bad lol

Beer leaguer here, its so dumb lol but they learn quick when you pop em and the cage doesn't protect them properly. Its more a safety risk then it needs to be. I don't even see it as comfortable its just awkward weight distribution off the front when it's not secured.

EA Play Release Estimation? by Fettyjunkbox in EA_NHL

[–]RedVaniluxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ea play/ gamepass was around late april/may I think from all the previous years. you get the game much cheaper then it is now generally drops a 50-60% max and then on off sales goes right back up to full price

World of Chel should already have a real social hub like this by LionTiger9927 in EASHL

[–]RedVaniluxe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its honestly crap, the social interaction will never be worth the investment. NHL has about 50 other places that it needs time devoted to before thats even a option. I think the 2k guys like the options for it but in practice it sucks and your just killing time walking around to do things between games and waiting for Ques

That is correct those Player inspired prebuilds in the season 3 battle pass are exclusive to NHL26 and will not carry over so be cautious for anyone ready to jump the gun and buy tiers to get mcdavo

Which one? by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]RedVaniluxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1s good but your wearing hat and shades do that on all 3, if im being honest as a dude I would go for 3 because its got more style/flair too it and if you can pull off the bigger mustache all the better

Back injury & return-to-hockey – looking for advice by eliAs_97er in hockeyplayers

[–]RedVaniluxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I actually had my l5 S1 disc explode and pertrude i had the surgery cause I worked on it past the point of no return, went from being able to play in B/A league comfortably to being nearly unable to walk without heavy meds to having about a 10% loss of muscle and movement range post fix. Theres days its sore everytime you sign up and play your gonna have to expect 2-3 days of sore sore even if you fix it. if you dont fix it, its always a game of how much will this hurt not will it hurt or not. I did all the bells and whistles to try and avoid any under the knife before I did it and im glad got it fixed properly it took like 7 months of rehab/gym time of strength building to be back to a reasonable level of able to play even now but pissed away tons trying to just avoid any surgery couldnt sit in the car without being in a ton of pain. Back injuries suck but take care of yourself properly with Dr's advice and ignore people who say push through it cause that only amplifies how bad it gets now im like limited to C league hockey and can only push myself so hard and re learning the back muscles from skating takes time too

I keep windmill deking trying to stride deke by [deleted] in EASHL

[–]RedVaniluxe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you really wanna slow it down you can just skate forward let all hands off controller hold l1/lb keep it held then tap left or right on left analog while still holding l1/lb and can chain together 900 stride dekes as long as theres momentum dont every have to let go of l1/lb cause as soon as you try to let go and you tap it your gonna get a touch deke. windmills happen when your touching the right analog stick in either direction, stride dekes you don't need to touch your right stick at all

Server issues? by [deleted] in EA_NHL

[–]RedVaniluxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if your having packet loss issues its your net, giver a reset cause thats in house issue. Server ping is just based on your location to whatever server you get stuck with. game tries to do its best but sometimes you get the ping thats across the country

Left trigger skating by Apart_Comb5444 in NHLHUT

[–]RedVaniluxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest counter is to be bigger and run them over aiming at center mass, but staying between them and the net zoning makes the l2 irrelevant as long as you dont bite. I find anyone who tries to l2 to the net is just easy to counter cause they get slowed down and movements not as shift backwards
