[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I don't know who on this board is following virtual hockey but I figured we could have a thread about the virtual Oilers who knocked off the Flames in Game 7 overtime last night.



It might not be real but f*** the Flames all the same.

They played out the remainder of the season on NHL 20 IIRC.

Man, EA NHL games are such a low quality product nowadays.

I cut to the end.

Game 7 OT winner, and the programming has McDavid and the other Oiler skating to the bench like they lost the game. That is not hard to fix...

So is this just two random guys playing each other or how does this work?

Its interesting how EA has apparently never seen what any player looks like and the faces are randomly applied. Yamamoto looks like Jones. Jebus H Christ the player movements in EA20 are still so lame from what could be expected.

How can anybody even play that gobshite?

I can't watch more than a minute of it.

Game 1 here.

Why does Tyler Ennis look like a superstar in these games? Did they get the player coefficients mixed up or something? I watched one shift and they have Ennis looking like Jagr.

Its hilarious though that they get McD's face right. They don't seem to care what anybody else looks like. Without the numbers and name labels youd never recognize these players.

In 2014 I turned him into an Art Ross regular. 5 straight 120 point seasons.
