If you had one wish..
What would that be? You had the chance to change one of the core gameplay mechanics. Revamp the whole system of.. Skating? Shooting + 1 timers? Hitting + body physics ? Passes? Deking? ...

You can definitely be right about that, remembering you had a really good thread regarding the skating, but this was for 22, with videos and text, I thought you showed it really well back then.
This could be the reason why so many people still talks good about really old games. Games that was made long before they changed the whole concept of skating.
I think you could say, that the cheaper version of the skating engine was more one-dimensional, not as high tech as the one we got today, but it was still good, because you couldn't manipulate it the same way that you can today.
I would say a lot of the other stuff on that list of game mechanics in this game has improved the game to be more realistic, can't remember any of the older games to have this good 'shooting', deaking, feeling in passes, and so on... But despite all that, and that says a lot of how importen the skating really is... Cause, people still mention old games were the feeling in the skating was much different from what it is now.
The skating part is the foundation of hockey.
It' starts there and it's highly importent to get the right feeling to that.
Would be really cool if they could make it so real that you had to slow down the pace on the ice sometimes by the fear of blowing a tire.
You wanna feel the weight and the right agility to that.
Not that weightless feeling were your player is a rubber-band that never snaps no mather how far outside the "Newtons laws of motion" you get when you twist and turn your way through the whole ice.
Everything needs fixing but, as a 2-3 man club player, I say the AI and Goalies - They are absolute garbage.
6's teams say they are OP but I'd wager it's because they are given the freedom to stick to their respective zones with dedicated builds - I personally find 6's to be a "too many cooks in the kitchen" type of affair and humans tend to play worse due to all the voices trying to talk over one another so the AI can feel like it's playing god-like (just my opinion). Regardless, AI top to bottom needs updating - With the effects trickling into every single mode, it's a no-brainer the team should make it a priority.
More servers.
if I had two wishes, patch the fast wrap.
Fix the god mode goalies - doesn’t matter what level your team is - the goalies regardless of rating are Vezina trophy candidates.
all the pretty passing plays and one timers are gone….now it’s garbage goals and wrap arounds. Completely zero fun factor for the regular player.
basucally why I stopped playing…terrible enjoyment factor. Garbage game.
- Approved
I wouldn't be wasting my one wish on this forum or with any EA game that's for sure.
