NEW FUMBLE DIMENSION LET'S GO!

“They’re out of business and I’m not” is the most vicious burn Jon has ever delivered.

Jon single-handedly drove radio shack out of business and nothing can convince me otherwise

My brain knows irl this team would be trash, but my heart knows they'd have the craziest, most-loyal fanbase too.

Jon's retail adventures deserve a deep rewind

you can tell this game is truly broken because it has the Flyers making the finals

“Midway through the season, we catch a fan drinking nachos in the stands” >refuses to elaborate

Hey Billy, what was your favorite part of the episode? "I liked when they talked about Jon working at Radio Shack for a loooong time."

Here's my foolproof NHL OT plan. First 5-min period is 4-on-4, then a 3-on-3 period, then 2-on-2; then the goalies are given a pile of pucks and take turns trying to score 180-foot goals off of each other. Who *wouldn't* wanna see that

Jon just kinda being at RadioShack is my favorite genre of story, retail workers like 10-20 years ago

most fumble dimension teams/players are haunted by an evil demon who wants to prevent them from winning at any cost. this team just had a few friendly ghosts that liked to pitch in during the overtime period.

The fan who drank nachos is the real hero.

It's both sad and hilarious that the EA nhl franchise has become too broken for the fumble dimension

“We decided to replace the Arizona Coyotes, because the chat said nobody would notice.” Okay…facts! 🤣

aw unfair @kofie secured the "first"

In this episode of fumble dimension: Jon and Kofie reconstruct the Broad Street Bullies Secret Base learns why the shootout sucks The EANHL dev team is revealed to be approximately 2 people, a lizard, and a cactus Jon admits to committing a crime The Fumblers fumble their way to the Stanley Cup

The most fumble dimension thing about this video is the flyers making it to the stanley cup final

This video devolving into Jon’s RadioShack misadventures really makes me happy.

I love when Kofie suddenly bursts out laughing when he sees his silly ideas play out in the game.

We need more hockey in general on Secret Base.

Those Fumbler burger sweaters are amazing. I would 100% sport one.

Fumble dimension holds a special place in my heart. I’m so glad it exists.

It sounds like Kofie has not read Jon's AMAZING 2015 SB Nation article about working for Radio Shack, published when they went out of business. As a guy who had to work at Radio Shack for years right before they folded, it really speaks to my heart and my experience

Next hockey vid should be to build a team that has the strategy of scoring an early goal and then playing keep away for the rest of the game, but the twist is all the players are small and injury prone

You now have no excuse to cover bowling. EDIT: 10:57 I love this shot so goddamn much, it looks like the player had gotten so pissed, he was trying to break out of the ring and attack the crowd.

Kofie and Jon are maybe the best combo on the internet today, seriously.

13:09 Jon’s radio shack employee experience pops up in an unexpected amount of SB shows

Aw man, I was really excited for the "We Drew Outside All The Lines" episode of Fumble Dimension.

It's honestly fitting to beat The Broad Street Bullies in the finals with your modern age Drilling and Grilling, it's a poetic passing of the torch for rough hockey that wins games.

Great to see the Danbury Trashers come back to our screens, now just have to hope Kofie and Jon don't get sent to prison for their mob ties

Jon's experience at Radio Shack was EXACTLY like when I worked there haha. Although I did get a little training. But most of the time I would just hard sell the patrons over helping them find stuff.

"Drilling and grilling" ... when my roommates and I used to play NHL 04/05 we called it "Dump and board" because we would dump the puck in deep and take VIOLENT RUNS at anyone unfortunate enough to recover the puck. Glad to see this general strategy is alive and well. (OK - I also really like the idea of trying to avoid a too many men on the ice penalty by just being REALLY, REALLY STILL, AND HOPING IT'S COOL)

I’m so glad Joe NHL finally got his ring. When I think of someone who is for the shield through and through I never have to look further than him

8:41 It's not broken, hockey is just a really wholesome sport where teams congratulate the opposing goalie when they make a great save.

I saw someone recommend this idea in a comment section a while back on one of the other fumble dimension videos and I remember thinking _omg I hope they do that at some point_ AND YOU DID!!! This (along with about fifty burger other reasons) is what I’d subscribed for, amazing stuff :D

The Overtimers are like if Fallout's Mysterious Stranger showed up but only to watch you, not help in any way

Welcome to the Fumble Dimension equivalent of "Using the wrong formula to get the right answer"

@ 10:50 - The ref phasing through the glass to sit on the scorers' table had me laughing out loud at my desk at work 🤣

I fully expected a whole team of goons to lose a lot and for it to take awhile to break the game. Instead, they won The Stanley Cup, and the game pretty much broke itself immediately. That's the beauty of the Fumble Dimension: you never know what you're gonna get.

I think there are two reasons why Kofie's ultra-goon team did so well in the playoffs. - This team would likely have taken out several high-rated players, leaving the opposition with potentially just 3rd- or 4th-liners available. - I don't think the game actually enforces playoff suspensions. As a result, you can have someone literally murder the star player on the other team and still be available to play.

Slap Shot is a documentary about how to win hockey games, I guess.

Didn't think I could be an even bigger Bois fan but his flexible ethics really inspired me

Darn... I wanted that Fumble Dimension coloring book. 😅

You guys basically created a modern version of the broad street bullies

So you just remade the late 90's early 2000's New Jersey Devils but with an entire roster of Scott Stevens and Martin Brodeur. I am intrigued.

This sounds like something that would happen if someone in the league played NHL Hitz 2002 and tried to apply the same logic to win! Can’t wait to watch this one fully. I’M SORRY, YOU *WHAT?!*

Somehow the realest thing of the video is that Arizona would either collapse or be moved and then immediately win it all.

I tried to apply to RadioShack once, the dudes working there told me it sucked and I didn't want to work such a crap job.

Well, we are so deep in Fumble Dimension that we find a game more broken than Madden and this is something that has to be highlighted.

The Latest Comment of All Time: my boyfriend works as a QA tester for EA (this is not an oxymoron) and he was screaming thruout the rubberbanding conversation. He, as a QA, constantly kept getting kicked out of his own game. Also he did not take any offense at your gaffs, don't worry. Several of the bugs you mentioned are known about, and as he put it, "when you fix something, it breaks something else," - they're hoping the new release fixes a lot of these. His late-season wins are miraculous. And when he is given a new contract, it's almost-always the Boston Bruins. This has happened multiple times, according to him. I asked him to make a Fumble Dimension recc. His suggestion is for you to recreate your favorite "worst NHL team" and try to get them to make past 5 years.

This is incredible. Hell yes. NHL 12 has even bigger extremes for how far you can push the "hitting aggression" bar... and also, you get detailed injury reports on the team you just murdered. You can take players out via acl tears, broken bones, and everybody's favorite, post concussion syndrome. The hits are absolutely cartoonish and you can remove entire lines. I never did figure out if there was an injury cap where the game just gives up

Also worked at Radio Shack in the late aughts and can confirm, that $20 cordless phone battery you bought for your parents home phone cost 25 cents. The $80 Auvio (one of radio shack’s house brands!) HDMI cable was $3. And yes, the $3 for a pack of 5 capacitors was like 5 cents

So you made the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers

My favorite coloring book page is the "Dave Stieb consecutive no-hitter probability monolith". It is THE monolith of all time.

It’s great to see all the hockey players we know and love just get absolutely demolished over and over again.

This is what I always ended up doing in NHL Hitz, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one, my Moose Goalie would leave his net and fight the other goalies until they didn't have any

19:43 Was thinking “the cup isn’t that small” and then I remembered they’re all 6’9” giants 😂

My first experience with NHL was NHL 96 on the SNES. The exploit there was to go full speed to the opponent’s back line and shoot a slap shot on the back line. It would shoot and some how get in behind the goalie. I had every starter with a hat trick every game for a full season and won the Stanley cup without losing a game lol

your "drilling and grilling" is basically just a healthy forecheck and neutral zone trap. We played it in college which relies on the sturdy mobile defenseman to apply pressure from the moment the opponent touches the puck in their own defensive zone.. The goal is to force turnovers and gaffes. A neutral zone trap is the defensemen playing up while the forwards apply pressure. The goal is to clog up center ice and take away all passing and skating lanes, with the goal of again, forcing turnovers. The Devils and Jaque Lemaire really pioneered the style and it is incredibly boring for fans. Also, your buddy is correct. Most hockey purists hate the shootout. Two teams playing neck and neck only to have a game decided by individual players doing breakaway drills sucks. Takes away the beauty of a fourth overtime win

Finally!!! Hockey Games in Fumble dimensions is HERE!!! VAMOÑOS SECRET BASE nation!!!!

I love that fumble dimensions goal isnt to show how broken these games are. It's just a bonus at this point

These are the best videos and probably the only thing keeping me on KZfaq. Why are these videos so hard to find!!!

The fumble dimension isn’t just hypothetical seasons or game scenarios it’s a review on how bad EA is with creating game that doesn’t rely on cheap X factor mechanics and animations.

Now this... is real hockey.

“We decided to replace the Arizona Coyotes because chat said nobody would notice” Fact check: True

Thank you for posting this today. I just watched the Mariners lose an 18 inning game to get swept out of the playoffs and I needed this.

Golf episode of Fumble Dimension: Jon makes a long aside to talk about a chicken soup recipe. Hockey episode of Fumble Dimension: Jon makes a long aside to talk about Radio Shack. We're going to need more data points on this phenomenon.

It's always fun to make the little men in computers fight against each other to see who wins! I like to imagine that this time around one set of little men got repeatedly body-checked until they gave up and then other little men needed to come provide medical attention.

So hype to fumble along with y’all once again 😊

finally a new fumble dimension!!!!!!!!! HYPE!!!!!! i paused at one second to write a comment as i already know i'm gonna love it!! love you kofie and jon! and the rest of secret base aswell obviously! best channel on youtube!!!!

Glad to see yall have been watching and enjoying Shorsey as much as I have

A hockey-themed Fumble Dimension! Awesome. I have to lead to grab groceries right now. Damn.

Best part of this video is the simulation having the PHILADELPHIA FLYERS AS THE EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS which couldn't be further from reality for 2022

So happy to see a hockey Fumble Dimension! Keep them coming!

I've never watched an ice hockey match before, but I'll gladly watch your videos

Not only can I not get my ea teams to win a cup but I've watched several be a gm modes online where twitch streamers with loads of experience playing this game can't consistently win the cup, and yall backed into it 🤣. Kudos

Oh man, just the title reminded me of something I used to do when I was a kid... I don't remember if it was on PS1 or SNES, but I remember playing a hockey game back in like... late 90's or early 2000's and I created such a violent team that I was literally winning half the games just by roughing up the opposing team to the point that they had to forefit, since they didn't have enough players to put out on the ice anymore. Wish I could remember which game it was, cause that was a blast.

a significant chunk of this video is just jon telling radio shack stories. I love this video

From a pure Game Theory standpoint, the objective should be to reach the shootout in every game. Because of the NHL's dishonest points system, you get 2 for a win, but 1 point for an OT/shootout loss. That means some games award 3 points and others 2. If you reach the shootout in all 82 games, then the worst you can do is 82 point season, which these days is about 10-15 short of making the playoffs. If you win just half of your shootouts, that's 123 points, which is the third best record since the shootout was implemented in 2005. Nine more shootout wins than that and its the best record in NHL history. Without winning a single game in regulation. I'm sure some defensive-minded coaches have considered that, and have tried to make that their goal. Every game.

Man the BarDown team had to draft the most expensive team ever to win the Cup. Meanwhile Kofie here creating a team of Joe NHLs and won the Cup anyways!

15:11 Hockey brings out the best smack talk of all time.

2:30 - Personally I'd just do playoff-style "continuous" OT, of infinite 20-minute periods until somebody scores, all season long but with 3-on-3 for regular season and the normal 5-on-5 for the playoffs. Continuous OT is a very hard sell in the grind of the regular season, I know, but I figure with teams spread out over a possible 6 lines of 3 players instead of 4-ish lines of 5, that might make it a bit more palatable - guys can get a bit more rest between shifts, hopefully not be _as_ fatigued as the season goes on; plus 3-on-3 tends to cause goals more often than 5-on-5 anyways, so OTs will probably still be shorter on average. To really make it work easier? Cut down on back-to-back games in the schedule. Of course I'm one of those sickos who actually _likes_ the shootout, so alternatively I'd just keep it but make a few tweaks: -make it 5 rounds like the IIHF & IOC used to have instead of 3; with more chances to score before extras, that'd probably make it a _bit_ less random; -scrap the OT loss point in the standings, so wins are wins and losses are losses; -have the player who scores the shootout winner be credited with a goal in their stats; and -in the event of "extra innings" shootouts where all 18 skaters on a team have taken shots, have the goalies each take a shot for rounds 19 & 20 before looping back to the top of the lineup.

The unexplained 4th OT player frozen in place but knowingly glancing around at the game and his surroundings givin off major Busto 2.0 vibes

When he said their team won 52 times, I spit out my water. Good thing I was brushing my teeth.

Working at RadioShack is my favorite piece of Jon lore

2:10 It's not like deciding a basketball game with a 3 point shootout. It's like deciding a basketball game with a 1 on 1 competition which would be amazing.

i’m so excited!!! this was so much fun to watch live

As someone who read Breaking Madden and NBAy2K, it makes me extremely happy to see Jon continue to put the AI of these video games through a horror most normal players are usually on the receiving end of. Beautiful stuff.

I love this series. They break sports games the way Josh from Let's Game it Out breaks everything he touches.

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would 😐🤣😂

ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT

This is such a good idea; I wish more NHL game content was like this

i love the 2 minute aside in the middle of the video of Jon describing his experience working at RadioShack

So glad Fumble Dimension is back!

Been waiting for a new fumble dimension!!

goated channel continues goated series. the sun rises yet another day

Missed you Kofie yay new fumble dimension!!!

My first day at RadioShack was the Monday after Black Friday. You perfectly described my experience. 😂

So they basically created the video game version of the Charlestown Chiefs.

Been subbed for a while now. Y’all are the best. (More beef vids tho) ❤
