Max speed out of Control
Question: How many of you are min builds that have speed all the way boosted? Follow up: Why? Do you find it fun to play? Or is it just because its the easiest way to score goals.
Playing 6's without 5 people is literally impossible. Queuing in with 2-3 people who want to have fun, use the computer D men, forecheck, and posses the puck will always lose to max speed snipers or danglers who just turbo skate forward, blow by the defenders who don't want to touch them (even if they are within range of being checked), make no move(or the same each time) on the goalie, and score. Yes, I could make a build that I just hit up on one stick, then another and score every time but that isn't fun.
Its frustrating because I have never seen this style of play in the nhl. Defenders in their own zone with 15 feed between them and one of those max builds suddenly realize that they should reposition. Please increase the speed of defenders, make let them check these clowns who know 1 glitch way to score, and improve the goalie on breakaways. Make them slightly worse at tracking pucks through traffic, or saving shots from the slot.
THIS GAME WAS FUN WHEN IT CAME OUT!
Revert the gameplay sliders, or even the entire game to when it first came out. There was actual pros and * to different build styles. Hitting, receiving passes, etc. The puck passes didn't always get received, the gameplay was sloppy, but that is what hocky is. Not this glorified and idealistic hockey experience; where speed is the most important thing.
Make it like hockey, where you actually use tactics like dumping the puck in & forechecking, score on weird broken plays, can score from a wide open slot, have defenders that can actually challenge the offense. Right now, 6v6 without 5 players feels like arcade mode.
