Johnny Superbman finds NHL 27's "empty net force field"
A slow-motion replay turns a routine puck toward goal into a sequence of strange bounces, overlapping players and an own goal.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 44,550 views a day, 7.9 times a normal first day on this channel (5,632).
WHAT IS THAT EA #NHL27
The puck stops at the goal line. Then it moves backward without an obvious collision. Johnny Superbman has a question: "Why did it move backwards right there? It didn't hit anything!"
His Short, "WHAT IS THAT EA #NHL27", pulls apart a peculiar crease sequence in NHL 27. Sam O'Reilly sends a slow puck toward the net, and a defender reaches through his own goalie to retrieve it. As Johnny describes the puck meeting an "empty net force field," the replay offers plenty of time to inspect the odd movement. The goalie eventually slides back and kicks it into his own net.
The clip drew about 20,000 views in seven hours, already several times the channel's usual full-day audience for a Short. The comment section has also passed its usual first-day activity by a wide margin.
Viewers are discussing computer-controlled players, recurring animation problems and how long they have waited between buying editions. One points to the goalie clipping through the ice; another jokes about how many future installments a fix might take.
For Johnny, who mixes hockey gaming with Maple Leafs commentary on 2BCProductions2BC, the frustration hasn't meant shelving the game. His next upload returns to NHL 27's Be A Pro mode with Johnny General Zod.
