Ok, last game I picked up a ground ball near the mid line, and instantly i was swarmed. Attack was whailing on me and defense was charging. I threw some sick dodges and broke like 5 peoples ankles :thumbsup: , but i couldnt get a pass off! So my question is what do you do when you are surronded by defensemen

considering u broke 5 peoples ankles out of 10 players on their team, their was probably someone open. Try having one of your teammates next time take a man, and you get the ball. What i always do is just pick it up and cirlce away from danger and run as fast as i possibly can. Chances are if you spread the field out by running away itll be easier to see someone open.

A smart defenseman won't stick to you too far out. Protect your stick and back up, get away from the restraining box, and the defenders shouldn't follow you. If they do though, then they leave a huge amount of space behind them that you can dodge through and score off of.
Just settle it up when there's not an open man, you don't have to rush it everytime. And, if all else fails, just bull dodge 'em.

umm if a bunch of people run up to you get the quick pass off someone has to be open if they are all coming towards you

Ya see, i woulda done that, except the ball was dropped and instantly picked up. I shoke one person who was right next to me, which allowed time for someone else to come and that happend a few times, so i never got a chance to look for an open man. eventually i had 2 on me and i shook one and the other one got me. so as i was falling i just flailed the ball to the attackmans side.
