Before you Patch and Ruin The Game

Question

Game speed is good where its at. Poke check is good.

Body checking needs to be bumped up abit.

The fact you can cut through the crease and go for hand back hand everytime is funny but cross crease the goalies will sprawl and make desperation save all the time is annoying.

@DEDLYGOD The problem is Its all based of an attribute. You dont get credit for being in good position. You need Def awareness jacked up to be able to intercept pucks. Needs to be mixed between good position and Attribute

@DEDLYGOD Cross crease should work more as well. People want the cross crease "nerfed" but thats because most people dont like playing defense and allow odd man rush. The desperation saves are good but in real life a goalie may only have 1-2 real big desperation save where in this game the goalie seems to make about 10 agame which is unrealistic.
I play 3s and this is why I bring this up.

@17ZxxzxxZ17 Cross creases should work but they should be inaccurate on hard passes and the puck should get intercepted if a defended is in the lane.

@17ZxxzxxZ17 Yup, anyone that cries about cross crease, you just know they dont play any defense whatsoever. I shouldnt constantly be getting robbed by your superhuman goalie because you cant defend.

Meanwhile some clown will L2 his way around the zone, bounce off 4 hits, skate directly into my goalie without shooting and the puck will go in somehow.

Ive been saying it for years but goalies are way overprogrammed to stop solid hockey plays, and laughably awful at peewee level shots, moves and broken plays.

Poke check is trash. You can still miss a poke while the stick goes through players skates and no tripping animation is triggered. Yet when you stick lift and miss its a penalty every time.

Zero consistency and it doesn't encourage players to play proper defense. Poke check is still a huge problem with little to no consequence.

Tripping penalties are completely random.

I don't care what anyone says. The stick physics need to be fixed.
