Please get rid of the stupid X Factors on Chel or make the goalies actually be good. Don’t matter if it’s a human or computer goalie. Close quarters, one tee, heat seeker, make it snappy are just fla...

I personally like the idea of being allowed to have literal 0/1 in a stat - Why have anything in the fight category when I play 3v3? Why would my buddy have anything dumped into faceoffs when he will literally never take a faceoff?
We should always have the ability to reach a 99 in any stat we choose at the detrement to everything else - that's just how min/maxing works. These build types they have now just leave so much to be desired - as others have mentioned, there are clear winners and painfully clear losers/ "challenge" builds, especially for teams with few humans.
@TTZ_Dipsy If we could move attributes around it would be crazy. I'd have like 1 slapshot power, 1 slapshot accuracy 1 shot blocking, 1 fighting.
99 speed, 99 balance, 99 accel, high agility, 99 checking.
99 speed, 99 balance, 99 accel, high agility, 99 checking.
When everyone is super, no one is. We already have metas so let's go wild.
Seriously though, you can either set an overall cap or do it on a category by category basis - What I meant by 99's before was that, to my knowledge there is currently no way to hit 99 in any stat, let alone multiples (I think I can hit 98 awareness by min maxing).
In a proposed new formula you should be able to naturally attain a 99 or maybe two (maybe only attainable via x factors), but it will have a severe impact on other stats (moreso than the current setup). Make it more like '14 with some improvements rather than side steps.
I just want something different. I know I sound like a broken record at this point but I play with just 1 other friend and we're both super handicapped with current jack of all trades builds.

99 speed, 99 balance, 99 accel, high agility, 99 checking.I mean seriously, I'd reduce my face offs as a winger, and fighting down to 50 if it would let me put it into discipline and deking I definitely think that you should be able to "spot reduce" within that category, and just like the original system its got a floor and ceiling. There's ways to incorporate it if EA would just take the time to look back into it. We already have broken Meta builds anyways, so why not let people build their own player to suit their playstyle?
I think the issue isn’t necessarily the xfactors themselves but like someone else said how they are activated/worded. The games xfactors (not the game itself) should be more simplified and understandable.
Instead of Shnipe, make it snappy, close quarters… increased power and accuracy when taking wristshots.
Instead of heatseeker, off the rush, thunderclap, seeing eye… increased power and accuracy to slapshots and shots from the point.Last one instead of ankle breaker, shock and awe, puck on a string, its tricky…advanced ability to perform deke maneuvers and increase power and accuracy for shooting within three seconds after a deke.
These are just some examples but would make it easier to understand and implement into your style of play. They could also then be used in other situations i.e. a dman with increased slapshot can get that puck rifled around the boards on a dump in or they can use it to clear the puck on the PK. We just need to make the wording and the ability themselves more easily comprehensible.
- @hiperay But you see some of the traits have effects on the goalies by slowing them down or freezing them when it activates to give the illusion of said X-Factor. I believe Yoink! used to like semi freeze the person who got sticklifted which isn't something you can have with attributes but is a hidden modifier.
