A couple things that I noticed
- Game feels a lot better to play online; Previously, I had noticeable input lag. I don't notice this anymore when playing. I'm going to buy a new headset, so hopefully I can tell if chat has been improved soon!
- Hipchecks are really, really, overpowered. This is the biggest downfall i noticed on playing online; a few people only hipcheck. It's not realistic in the slightest.
- Positioning, boucnes and shooting feels right. A high percentage shot has a high percentage chance of going in now. Being in the right position makes a big difference, and now it feels great to be able to stand in front of the net and screen the goalie.
We had a couple weak goals against us, but managed to pull out wins in those games. I'm looking forward to playing more when the game comes out on Tuesday!
Also, if anyone has any faceoff tips, please let me know. I understand the system, I'm just terrible at them. I really like playing C, because I enjoy the positioning and being the middle of things, but I really need to get better at faceoffs! |
not sure for 12, but for 11 when you take faceoffs. move your RS to as close to where you want to end up as possible......so lets say you are right handed and want to win one back to your RD, to do that you need to move your RS from west to south.
move your RS into the SW quadrant as close to south as possible and then it'll cut down the time needed to complete your faceoff move with the stick.
there's also an alternate i found which is for right handed players to go from northwest directly to southeast. it's not very high percentage but against faceoff masters it lets you win some of the draws (the puck will go to LD)
