Meechie Johnson: Yeah, I came in late yesterday, so I haven't got to touch the ball yet, but I would assume what they said is what it will be. But other than that, once you get it down, and figure out how much with the ball to shoot it. It's not as good of a grip, like you can't just throw it someone and catch it the same way as a basketball. So, you have to be able to maneuver where to put your hands to shoot when you're shooting, or passing it, or whatever. Hannah White: Yeah, I would say I wasn't expecting how heavy it was at first, when I first grabbed it, and the grip's really different, obviously, because there's little divots where you can put your hands and stuff. But yeah, it is nice having that background, especially because this is bigger than a normal size net, so it gives us some free way with our form and everything. It is a little bit heavier than a basketball, so that's something we do have adjust to. Lyric Swann: I feel like we do have an advantage shooting the ball and everything. This is like a whole other level, especially with these athletes.īrian Jones ( ): This one's just for the basketball players, what are your thoughts on the actual ball, and the net that you play in? Do you think it's easier to score, or a little bit harder? Our games always struggled, because they didn't have a clear objective, and they're not real fun to watch, and they kind of devolve into just two people hiding behind two bunkers and peeking out repeatedly. But the game feels like a much more polished, evolved version of what we've been doing for 10 years on our own in games that we've made up. So that's the biggest shift, and then they bring different insights in gameplay, and cooperation, and teamwork. We started with such a high bar from the beginning, because I'm the one getting tired before they all get tired, I'm a few years older here. It's a huge range that we've gotten to play, but no, we've got these athletes here, who are incredible. The Nerf community and that people I play with normally are not - I tend to be one of the more fit people on the whole. Luke Goodman: First, the most impressive thing is the athleticism is just on another level. You're known for some of your Nerf modding back in the day, what is it like for you shifting from doing that to now coaching a team of up-and-coming professional athletes for this game? Screen Rant: Luke, I'll come back to you. If you wait, if you lag, if you don't communicate, it doesn't work. The game is really about momentum, and when you get a player down, or two players down, on the opponent's team, you've got this 10 or 15-second window to just hit it hard, and just push, push, push. You have to have a little more of a plan, a little more strategy, and take opportunity when you get it. It's a lot of moving parts at once, and at first, we kind of ran out there and just did whatever, and you learn really quickly that doesn't work. The game is really that you need to know what's going on, you have to know where the ball is, you have to know where your opponents are, and you got to keep track of your team members, too. Luke Goodman: Communication is the biggest one. I think we've got a winning strategy, we've got a really strong talent here, and I think that variety of skills is gonna mesh really well today on the field.Ĭass Anderson ( BroBible): What did you learn in practice? It's an interesting game, because there's a lot of learning curve, so we learned a lot yesterday. Brian Jones ( ): So Luke, how's your team feeling heading into today?
