Community ManagerRe: Will EA change eashl attribute progression?
I've experienced the same issue. I'm just saying that when you get a better poke on the puck, your chances of it being further dislodged are a lot higher. It's also better on your first poke. If you're spamming it, which I'm guilty of myself sometimes, the subsequent pokes aren't aimed as well. I definitely get the frustration and I'd like to see it be harder to regain control, but it really just comes down to ratings and positioning. Forwards tend to have high puck control ratings so recovering it is easier than defenders. Magnetic and Quick Pick are abilities that can help with pick ups. I use a PMD build, but don't use those abilities. Like I said, I've experienced this as well, but it's not happening every time. If I'm not getting a good poke on them, I can get my body in the way and use incidental contact to knock it loose.
I think puck control in general could be lowered. Hopefully, we'll see changes to this, but in the meantime, you can raise your chances of disrupting the play with well-timed pokes and good defensive play.
