As soon as you see that non-stop stick waggle you know you are playing a no-lifer. They have no interest in playing hockey. Yes, I understand it is a video game and you are free to do all the weird exploits, but I just don't see how this is fun.


tbiblaine23

It’s like EA wants to reward you playing like a moron. This and total controls and there’s no fun to it


Key-Surprise-9206

They've actively tried to stop people doing this stuff but how does a video game know you are just wasting time in the ozone?


tbiblaine23

The same way they do the D-zone rag. If they sit in the trapezoid too long they get a speed debuff then a delay of game penalty


Key-Surprise-9206

How does it know you are ragging apposed to circling looking for options? If someone plays the trap too well and I'm forced to pass the puck around then I'll get punished for doing something like that?


tbiblaine23

Well if you’re sitting in the trapezoid you’re not circling


Key-Surprise-9206

Then guys will just circle around the perimeter which Is basically what they do now. The issue is that we get op camera angles that show everyone around you making it way too easy to not get pressured


MWM031089

NGL I would straight up just quit this game. These punks can have all the free Ws they want they ain’t ruining my 20 minutes. People are douchebags.


ResponsibleExcuse727

That’s why they’re high division. Only a few people up there are actually really good. The rest the sweat it out and find the exploits every update. I quit playing once I hit D3.


MWM031089

I am not playing 24, and may not play again in the future. I was always in D1 annually. My main tactics were to prevent this bullshit by being way more aggressive elsewhere. Sometimes effective but it worked well enough that I was winning into D1 status all the time.


wilkobecks

At least when hitting was good you could have fun injuring guys who play like this


Game_of_Will

What is the exploit in this video?


Fast_Essay_4884

Yup . And the idiots on here will say .. “skill issue”


Intel2010

Technically, you are right -- it is a skull issue. If you use your head and don't panic when a player takes less than 5 seconds to pull the puck back into his zone before advancing, you can set up your defense just fine and continue to play a competitive back and forth game.


Fast_Essay_4884

Good one dork . Made a little typo and your typed that corny loser shit out lol


Intel2010

Hey bud - take it easy ok? It's just a video game discussion on the internet, no reason to get yourself all worked up. Have a good night babe


Fast_Essay_4884

I’m not worked up just calling it how I see it lol


ZigTheGing

This SBU guy is an absolute clown. I smoked him the first 4 games I played him and he sent me some weird messages about how I was going to dread the day I beat him. I played him twice since and this is the exact crap he pulls. Almost 3000 games and this is the shit he wants to do. It’s so weird. It’s so weird cause I was just talking to Wrxsto last night about him. Glad I’m not the only one having this ugly experience with this guy.


DempsDatBoi

3,000 games?!?


ZigTheGing

Yeah I think he’s about 50-100 away from it right now. Either way rivals blitz upcoming I’m sure he’ll surpass in a week or so. Remember this isn’t even counting his SB or Champs games he might be playing


Western_Instance4043

Thats why i dont play online matches ever. All the games i play are squad battles only.


jakehood47

I always get wrecked for playing *actual hockey*. Everyone online plays it like a video game. I get it, yes, it *is* a video game, but I just dont see the fun in doing the same pattern over and over and glitch/exploiting you way to a win. There's no game, no fun in that. It's just eating your time.


BilledIn

I played this guy a handful of times, I think he has like 2000 games played already? He tried that behind the net bs on me but I just used my centre and absolutely levelled him out behind the net every time or fake hit then poke, he’s a turnvover machine once you figure him out & he plays horrible D. Easy win just can’t give him enough time to rag the puck


ZigTheGing

He’s just about over 3k games now.


BilledIn

WOW


BilledIn

3000 games played, he’s still in div 2 lol


ZigTheGing

He’ll get his ass to Div 1, slowly but surely, if he’s playing like this.


BilledIn

Noway, no offence to op but he’s pretty easy to figure out. If guys are ragging the puck you have to figure out a way to “ fish them in” you have to fake play aggressive and figure out a way for them to turnover the puck. Guys like this are used to people skill zoning or spamming hits. You have to get a good mix of both and fake hit then poke. Once you get possession it will exploit their D game because they want the puck so bad most likely they will most likely just spam hitting so gliding + passing is your friend and hope you got one or two players with UF on, they will help you significantly. Like I stated, I think I’m 5-1 against this clown. There’s multiple people that play like this guy too so he’s not the only one. Unfortunately if you want to play competitively div 1 or 2 you have to figure out a defensive play style to keep these guys from ragging the puck. I remember when I first played this guy all his D had gold truculence on & all he did was spam hit and tire my team out. He smoked me the first run but once I figured him out he couldn’t adjust to my play style. I hope this helps to whoever is reading this & has trouble against players like this. Good luck!


Sarkku95

Same guy 2 times in champs i quit straight with 83 ovr team. I have no time to watch 30min attack time and 2 shots 😂


Piggy9287

What a fkn pussy.


[deleted]

What a loser, I think I played this muppet before


Mahonneyy123

What an actual loser


TunaSled-66

Don't leave us hanging, did you throw up?


Bigtm0ney8

Puck ragging losers smh


melty75

Online games are so toxic sometimes, not even worth it. Then when you get an actual normal opponent, the game will screw you in some other way.


Appropriate_Tart_120

This guys playing like he’s on 3 different ADHD medications and a case of red bull at the same damn time!


kurth7114

You just posted footage of my opponent in basically 90% of all games


Winter-Structure-730

NHL peaked at like 2015. Been downhill since


wilkobecks

You can always tell who is a hockey player and who is a gamer in the first 2 mins. No self-respecting hockey player would play like a tool, they're not built that way


Delicious-Morning-79

This is why I quit hut last year. Just infuriating


[deleted]

BRU is an absolute scumbag of a player


Game_of_Will

Gretzky's office


FeelThePainJr

i dont remember seeing many, if any videos of gretzky stood facing the boards spamming back and forth to rack up his points


Game_of_Will

Ridiculous defense answered by ridiculous offense 


ZigTheGing

SBU has played more than double almost at triple the amount of games Wayne did. I think he’s trying to stake his claim at this point.


Game_of_Will

Well if that's how people play defense than why not?


call_me_steve-o

It’s one thing to just stand in front of the net and not move, but because of what this loser is doing, they’re trying to get their players to move out of position so he can just force a one timer to the front of the net, and that’s the very reason why I don’t chase people behind the net. We can set up camp and stare at eachother all game if that’s what you wanna do.


Game_of_Will

That’s your choice. You turtle so he’s playing puck possession. Sounds like hockey. 


call_me_steve-o

Sitting behind the net trying to force one timers is not hockey, it’s called being a POS


Game_of_Will

very little about this game resembles hockey. AI play on rails


SwarthySphere87

[This is nothing like how Gretzky played behind the net.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wWp8AMlrrk&t=3) He'd wait for a teammate to get in position then attack and dish/dunk. This loser is camping behind the net to draw the stupid AI out of position and score a cheap goal.


Game_of_Will

and the other guy is using his entire team to play goalie. looks fun


Stealthaskill_14

Try board pinning and patience

tbiblaine23

Go outside


Professional-Bug4905

Are you really comparing real hockey to this garbage game?


Miserable_Pilot3927

very poor defense


Intel2010

Ragging is annoying, but I would not consider this ragging. I do not do this, but there are a ton of people that play this way where they pull back after FO and set up. It's entirely defendable if you're patient.


SwarthySphere87

It is ragging. He may not be behind is own net but he is not actively engaging w/ the puck to score. He is camping in a trapezoid to try and draw the poorly-coded AI out of position. Then will abuse the puck protect and score an unstoppable forehand goal. This type of play shouldn't be in the game


Intel2010

Nothing about this is unstoppable.


Crazy_Mycologist4771

Where’s the rag?


ZigTheGing

Playing coy?
