Great wins last night!
What time are we starting tonight? I should be available after 8PM EST. Hit me up on AIM if you want to get some games in.

You too busy having a life!!?
And I actually like goalie, except when some goals go in where it's just weird...there were a few where it almost seemed like I couldn't move off a rebound
You were shockingly proficient. It was rad.
Playing goalie is one of the most fun yet most frustrating things with this game.
Does your dude sometimes randomly fall even if you don't call? It seemed like my guy was just weak, or maybe I pressed buttons and didn't realize it
also what is this boost we get if we have ahuman goalie
Yeah, they goalies do all sorts of wonky shit.
The more players you have in EASHL games, the more points you earn towards your club's rank.
Aw damn. I thought it would get all our players higher grades, like if you got an A+ in stats it would count twice or something haha
Exactly, I remember after CB's OT goal either he or someone kept saying "fuck yes fuck yes fuc------" *silence*
You get all F's for that game.
ph33nix's smoke alarm?
this was before he arrived
i just remember thinking wtf and said it and we all laughed for a good minute but nobody said wtf it was lol
it was like a scream or a yell. it was funny shit. I find this game way too funny playing with you guys.
Also, I'd like to be around tonight so we'll see.
At times I was laughing so much that my guy would just be standing in the corner all by himself.
Nice. We need to keep this winning streak going.
Ok. You get bob
I really wish that the CPU would just take over sometimes, just smother the puck and not let people call for the goalie to pass in drop-in games. I swear every game there's someone that, no matter how surrounding the goalie is, insists on having him pass the puck out EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's like playing with 4 Bobs.
That's all gonna change tonight, friend.
Nah, I meant I thought you'd progress more after winning a few games. On the last two games I played last night I was A+. A+. A. Still only 80 points. I don't get how you ever progress.
It seems like the only progression you hit is ranking up each level, which basically boils down purely to wins and has little to do with grades (you just need to keep above the minimum threshold, which is rather low). That aspect is a little disappointing to me, I was under the impression that there were rewards/progression as long as you played your position properly, regardless of the outcome of the game.
That and the whole pay-to-play shit is obnoxious as well.
Yeah, the seeming absurdly impossible rate of progression makes the booster packs really, really disgusting. Once we start winning enough games that we're getting beat based only on the fact that we haven't all paid to be 80+ players I'll be trading in the game.
For now it's rad though!
If we could gift packs, I would level your racist skater
You'll eventually get more than 80 points for a rank up.
You do unlock boost packs depending on your performance in games. I know I got a couple more unlocked after our games last night.
I would burn my xbox to the ground first!
I love a well done micro-transaction system (like Dota, LoL, GW2 and Tribes) but fucking despise the nickel and dime bullshit in the EA sports games. So annoying.
Hopefully it either goes faster or we don't run into too many situations where it matters. As long as we play against similar teams I give no shits.
Well I am Scandinavian....
Not sure. I think probably control settings.
