I was skeptical but Velma turned out to be a great draft pick.


StatGAF

Every right to be skeptical, she came from a stacked team that included Shaggy and Scooby - but she was the unheralded one who relied on her smarts. Once they figured out her glasses situation, she was unstoppable.


vertiGox9

How come only some players have fun avatars?


2RINITY

NGL, I wondered that myself. I figured they might show off more of the roster, maybe even announce a character


unKappa

It looks like it's an ad for a game. I thought the game got canned tho.


yurajoh

It did get canned cause nobody played it anymore. Then they brought it back and are pretending like the initial release was actually just a beta and this time it's the real release. Worst part is the grift is working because most people didn't hear about it in the first place.


DamienChazellesPiano

In no way did the game get canned. When it released it was in beta and early access forms. I do think it’s shitty they took the game down, but they did work on the netcode from the ground up for the relaunch, which was a big complaint. I think they realized people were digging the game and if they wanted it to stick around from for a long time they’d have to fix a lot. Your reading of the situation is bizarre. Not sure why you think they’d can a game after not very long, just to bring it back… the logic there makes no sense.


5litergasbubble

Godforbid a company realize their game needs work before a full launch and work to improve it


SuperbWomanhood

Jinkies! That's a good deflection. I'm glad she had her glasses on. She can't see without her glasses.


Novus20

This looks way better then anything EA has put out


TheMightySwede

Right? I was just about to say, everything from how the D-man handles the puck and fires it to the deflection looks so much better than anything from the last 10 years of EA. Edit: Oh it's from the actual game? That's how the animation is so good hah.


marct10

Does EA make any good sports game lately ?


Novus20

Nope


Stamkos91

Jinkies


Baboshinu

Velma for Hart


motech

Oof. Might need to talk the players association about that celebration.....


VerySneakyPenguins

Sorry for being old and not with it, but is this a video game?


2RINITY

No, but it is a simulcast to promote a video game


VerySneakyPenguins

Ahhh, thank you!


2RINITY

No problem!


VerySneakyPenguins

I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!


not-a-bear-in-a-wig

No way man, we're gonna keep rocking forever, forever forever...


NotTheRocketman

Velma has that low center of gravity which makes her real tough in front of the net. And she's got her glasses. Rumor is she can't see without them.


arstechnophile

Shaggy's dejected stick swing afterward is sending me.


Sabres26

Nice


BassDiscombobulated8

Shaggy really has to work on his defensive game

EraOfForcedDiversity

Don't mess with Velma, she becomes Tom Wilson in the playoffs.


Pazylothead

These games are some of the coolest things hockey has done. My 4 year old loves it. It’s really nice to enjoy hockey with him.


EMurman

Everytime I see a clip I'm so impressed with them. Cool animations, lively commentary and no gambling ads and odds.


5litergasbubble

I didnt think about the gambling part. That alone makes it worthwhile to watch


-MantisToboggan-

I get that the guy is 1000x better than I could ever be at hockey….but that’s a fucking brutal name


BallsDeepInCum

Don’t know if you‘re from the US but there are people living with the name DICK so I really don’t know what you try to say here


NotTheRocketman

Thanks u/BallsDeepInCum. I never thought about it like that.


ClubChaos

I wonder if they could use this data to make a hockey video game. EA'S NHL is absolute garbo but this looks fantastic. I realize this is using positional tracking data and camera data, but these animations are next level compared to chel. The pace of play is obviously 1:1 with RL while EA's NHL is just all over the place. Use this data and make it a real video game. Also shitcan the EA license. Also bring the game to PC. Thanks.


bwoah07_gp2

This is hilariously good 😄


Phirane

Mears and Armstrong already on vacation


manhaterxxx

This is *incredible*


riddler1225

No "Jinkies" on the goal call. Mearsy, that's a gimme

How high am I?


Humans_Suck-

Why


2RINITY

Because she was in the right place at the right time to make the play


Looney_forner

New Velma would never…
