@KIJHLPhenom14Dunno who Avaholic is. I honestly don't care if they fix things people have been asking for year to fix. I've wanted them to fix/tone down LT-ing for the longest time. I mean if they fix the short side goal you all complain about it just means the far side is back open. I play within what the game allows minus ragging the puck because that is just playing scared like you don't belong.
I don't consider myself defending the game. I want lots of changes but I'm gonna say if you aren't using what t he game is offering regardless of what you think is real or not then it's on you not the game. I also play majority of my games as a defenseman or goalie. Two of the most painful things to play and I deal with things just fine.
I find you get a great balance between real/arcade hockey when playing 6's since everyone has dedicated builds and, in theory, sticks to their allocated "zones".
A buddy and I just started playing 3's after 5 or so months and we've been able to match up almost inatantly (of course the mode and it being added to EA Play probably had something to to with it - miles will obviously vary depending on the mode).
You can either take the L with pride or play long enough to use all the tricks at your disposal, haha.
Listen, I enjoy hockey and try my darndest to adhere to the "guidelines", but while some others only love winning, I also HATE to lose.
Something tells me they got the message loud and clear about how to manage their updates - feedback has always been strong, but this year seemed extra spicy
