Auto assists in multiplayer
Is there, or can it possibly get considered to remove all the auto assist when playing online? it’s so frustrating being dragged into passes, shots, missing a one timer opportunity and then your pla...

Community ManagerHey, there, @southpaw86
I would love the ability to cancel shots. That drives me crazy. Either missing or taking the shot because you're now in a terrible position. Hopefully, this is improved upon in the future. I know the team is aware of it, but I'll get it reported. Thank you.
There already is an online pass assist slider. I'm cool with this one as pass aim can be pretty wild at times. We want to try to avoid having basic abilities being more frustrating than fun.
Thank you for the feedback!
@EA_Aljo Yeah the pass assist is actually insanely useful as I’ve turned that meter to zero and learned how bad my passes can be sometimes haha. That said, cranked to 100 your ability to bank pass is pretty rough. I think an addition to these sliders even would be sweet. Getting dragged into a bad pass kills me. Good way to take an injury, we call it the suicide pass I’m not sure if there’s a community lingo on that one haha.

I'm completely making up that spelling, but you probably get the idea. You definitely don't want to be known as that guy getting your teammates flattened with making a lot of these passes. You always have to be aware of your teammates coverage. Especially as a D man.
I haven't had to hard a time banking passes, but normally I'm saucing them off the boards. Which, I think is easier than banking a regular pass off the boards due to assist being at 100 as you mentioned.
- @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.

I love doing the slapper from behind my own net to a winger on the boards. In many instances, they won't try to get behind defenders, but will make a quick or one-touch pass to a teammate in the NZ. In most cases, there's a defender looking to step up on the winger on the boards so making a quick pass gets the puck out of danger and leaves a defender out of the play.
That's good advice about slowing down. Being in a glide also raises your accuracy with passes along with putting the puck on your forehand. As you mentioned though, conserving energy is always good. When your energy drops, it lowers your stats overall so best to use hustle when you need it the most.
