Then it turns out I'm incapable of getting a shutout myself... I won 71-0 back when we played this in 2015, but it seems like the better option just to let the computer team score if they get the puck. Trying to get it back just takes too long unless you are able to knock it loose before they cross the center line with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only gotten to play twice so far, not a lot of time with my move impending. Edit: played again and slayed it. Canadian hockey FTW! What was your first score? It looks like my Sunday just opened up because there's no way I'm scoring 87 goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's from playing on the lowest speed or what, but the computer team seems borderline inept at scoring even if you try to let them. They either just pass the puck around for no reason or take awful shots that miss the goal completely which wastes all kinds of time. The computer defense also seems to have a Rad Racer all or nothing style to it. It's like they either just stand there and let you take free shots at the goal or they swarm you all at once and instantly take the puck away or start a fight that runs about 20 seconds off the clock.

I got 30 in a period once in however many times that I've played this week and that was without missing a single shot. For some reason the second period throws me off having to go right to left and I typically score in the low 20s which hurts my final score.

I didn't pay much attention so I don't remember my period 1 score, but it was really high. I went into period 3 basically guaranteed a top score, then had a rough round 3 but still managed to pull it off cuz of how ahead I was. You can get a score every 10 "seconds" or so, and the game was especially kind in round 1. As for my pre-edit score, it was 65 I think. I can double check, just woke up. Edit: it was 62.

I'm playing right now and was on pace for a score in the mid 80s, but I gave up two goals in the second period so its going to take a great third period to even hit 80.

There must be something about my approach that makes it very consistent compared to your or something, cuz hitting 80+ felt like an inevitability to me.

I seem to always have less luck in the second period. I ended up beating my own score by 1, but I gave up another late goal that tanked my shot at hitting the 80 mark.

Averaging 4 points a minute is what I’ve been shooting for. Just haven’t been able to execute it. Gonna put some more time in I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloves | 11,771 Administrator · Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I will say the game was very kind to me. Every time USA got the puck or we got in a brawl, I was able to turn it around pretty quickly so as to not waste too much time. I was hoping to hit 90+, but like I say the 3rd period it got much harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third, Pee hasn’t posted a score yet. That leaves us battling for 4th. Good luck sucka! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scored 33 goals in the first period this morning, but I fall apart in the second period going right to left, then the third period I lost the puck a bunch of times. Honestly, I think a perfect game for me would break 100, but knowing what to do and executing are two entirely different kettles of fish. I'm going to try a couple of more times today...
