    @IRanOutOfPhrases Před 2 lety +5

    Loved this game back then. The rubber banding was vicious. I feel like you could 'tought it out' though. If you played strong enough defense it was possible to prevent the other team from shooting at all. And there were some tricks to improving defense.
    I remember not checking people very much at all. If an opponent is coming straight on, its way better to just steal the puck from them, and you're instantly going the other way now. If you're chasing a player going towards your net, then hook them. The hook will tear the guy down and then also pull the puck back in thenoppoaite direction (so away from your goal). Alternatively if you're in the offensive zone chasong after a puck, the beat move available was the trip. This could also be used in place of the hook for situations described above. While a hook would pull the puck backwards, a trip let the puck continue the path it was already going. So if an opponent was also behind you while you were chasing someone else down, you'd want to trip, not hook. Trips were also crazy quick, unlike hooks & checks, so it was easier to get back in position if you missed.
    Really the only time I check people was if I was guarding someone who didnt have the puck. Hot them really quick, then rush the puck carrier for a steal.
    Then qhen you had a three goal lead, do whatever you could to prevent shots w/ the above. When you get thebpuck, juat dump it to thenother end of the ice, and try to trip the computer before they get it.
    When you do have the puck in the offensive zone you can actually keep thenpuck away from the cpu pretty well with very tight skating movements. The ley was to try and bait them into missing a check. Really tight spin moves were able to work wonders. Eventually you can amass enough shots that the game will let another one in eventually, lol
    But yeah, the game would outright cheat. I remember constantly looking at replays in super slowmo and seeing the puck quite clearly headed for a wide open net, only to see it reach an invisible barrier and then teleport right into the possession of the goalie, haha... They really didnt hide the cheating.

The best one I remember playing as a kid was Mutant League Hockey for the Sega Genesis. iirc in that game, you could actually kill the players on the other team.

    One way to steal a few extra goals is use your AI partners. You can “interfere” with the goalie by running into them on the left, they will push you out of the goal area and open up the right side. Time it just right to get your AI to shoot when the goalie lunges to hit you.
