@EA_Aljo Agreed, the sauce has come a long way and probably the best way to get your pass up aside from a slammer to the boards from behind the net if you got a smart winger ready to go. Honestly for anyone reading and interested in avoiding having your guy get pulled into passes to the blue line, honing your sauce skills is key. Same with slowing the hell down. I see a lot of teams chasing to get behind the defence. It works when you’re playing lesser skilled teams who don’t know how to properly utilize their strategy settings for cpu. But if you’re playing a 6, or guys just like my team who love opponents like this. Slow down, less is more. Dekes, passes, shots, manoeuvring only get better the more energy you have, and the slower you’re moving. Automated actions are part of the game but not necessarily impossible to work around.
