Thinking of picking up 2020. Will look at some trailers before I decide.

Skipped 2019 because I did not want to pay $80 for a game with not much changes.

Buying every other year seems logical. At least then you will notice more changes.



For the poke check (in years past anyways) you have to learn how to use it with proper angles, as others have said.

Anytime you get near the body it is almost a guarantee to get called on it. Good players try to manipulate this by predicting when you will poke check and will turn into the direction you are throwing your stick out.

You need to time/angle it so you are barely making contact with the blade of the oppositions stick. It almost looks like you are missing entirely when this is done correctly.

If your angles/timing is good you reduce the chance of calls happening and the puck will knock lose at the most opportune time.

Too bad the player base for this is so small.

If they had EASHL tourneys I'd be there.

Although if the player base was much larger maybe I wouldn't be good enough lol.

The online team-play mode where you lock yourself into one position and you can play up to 6 humans vs. 6 humans.

It's a fantastic mode and the closest thing to this game's "e-sport" type mode.

Unfortunately with the player base so small and most of it addicted to that stupid HUT, there aren't enough good players to get something going.

That's why the only official tourneys they've had so far are for just the regular 1v1 mode, which sucks, 'cause most of your team is composed of AI lol.

Like most online team games, it's fun with good teammates and a complete disaster without.
