47 is good, but basically it's possible to score a goal every 15-odd seconds, which means you could rack up 120 Goals if you played absolutely flawless games. I've managed to get 10 Goals in the second period, which for me is the toughest since you have to move the ball in rather than out, but to get 40 in the second period? That's only something I could see some of you masters doing.
The most I've gotten in a period thus far is 23 in the first. I'm sure you'll destroy that in time once you get the pad fixed!

I've sort of fixed my pad now, the bits on the small circuit boards what the dials spin through needed a good clean. Sprayed them with switch cleaner and the directional controls work fine now. However, Button 1 has stopped working now, so I can't shoot.... Getting there slowly but surely ;D. Edit: Just played my first 10 minute match, my right arm hasn't ached that much since I discovered porn mags when I was about 12 ;D.

How do we know you didn't get that score in 2 player mode...playing it by yourself?!

Are you suggesting Grolt is cheating I just tested that to see what happens, it says "Player 1 Wins" instead of "You Win" in 2 player mode. As long as photographic evidence is submitted then it's easy to tell if someone's cheating . My pad is fully functional now, still haven't managed to beat my score of 3 goals, but I only have two teams left to beat to complete Junior mode . Practise makes perfect as they say .

I'm starting to get into the swing of this now. I'm actually pretty surprised by how responsive the sports pad is now it's working properly. Finally managed a decentish score of 12 goals, although I managed to concede 7 ;D. Scored all my goals in periods 1 and 3, every goal conceded was in period 2. I'm really struggling to play Period 2, I find it really awkward to be precise with the sports pad whilst shooting to the left. I can't seem to make my players run as fast that way either. I've worked out a decent scoring method now though, once I've perfected it I reckon I can score a goal every 10 seconds, shooting to the right that is .

I'm glad there is something a little different in single player mode than two player mode - it would suck to not be able to conclusively prove you got that score in single player mode! It's funny that something as arbitrary as switching directions can take a huge hit on your point total. That's something that makes the game all the more fun and challenging. I hope some other people work at the game too, because I bet we can end up with some killer scores.

Catching up slowly but surely, Grolt . I've been playing all morning and I've managed to reach 31 goals. Only managed to score 3 in the second period though, that section of the game is really tough for me, I spend most of it defending because I just can't run fast enough to the left ;D. I'm not going to stop until I break the 50 goal barrier .

Nice! Looks like I'm going to have to give it a go again to ensure my lead is maintained.

I need to give my arm a rest for a bit, but I'm gonna try again later . I've been playing it on a 14" portable TV upstairs today and I'm doing a lot better, I think the widescreen was throwing my angles out. I'm only missing about 1 in every 6 shots now, but then I struggle to get the puck back because my arm is shattered ;D. Still haven't quite mastered that second period either, so there's definitely plenty of room for improvement

Yeah, the second period is key. I've scored more goals in the first and third periods, but my high score has been because I scored 10 in period two. Giving it a go now...

I had a really sloppy game. A great start (10 goals in the first 2 minutes) and a great finish (another 10 at the last 2 minutes of the 3rd period) but the middle was bad. I didn't even score a goal for the first 5 minutes of period 3. My second period was pretty weak until the end but I managed to get 9 goals. They scored on me twice too...weak! But overall... I know that can get a lot better!

The game has played its course. I'm hereby closing all submissions from this point forward.

I hope you beat your last score, otherwise I've just taken the top spot from you with a total of..... 63 Goals!!!I'm chuffed to bits with that score, got 28 in the first period, 11 in the second and 24 in the third. My arm was so tired towards the end though that Poland managed to slip one fast me in the last few seconds ;D. That's it for me now, unless someone totally obliterates my score I'm done. I feel I've done the best I can in all 3 periods, doubt I'll ever be able to master the second. If I keep playing I'm going to end up with a disfigured arm, it's absolutely killing me ;D.

Great score grolt, I concede . Tried again this morning but the highest I could manage was 61. I'm not saying I won't come back to this sometime in the future when my arm's fully recovered though... .
