@EA_Aljo The problem in my eyes was they overtuned the sticklift penalty. They always seem to take the extreme with things 1 way or the other. Now I get the community hated the sticklift from behind stuff but now we have lots of times you can be right beside someone and go for a lift that results in a penalty. The whole sticklift feature needs reworked to be more of a lift and swipe motion as a way of taking the puck. Also that part of the community hates defense in general.
I agree stick lift should be reworked. I really hope that happens. As far as taking the extreme route with things, it's not that we're looking to specifically take that route, but it can also be very challenging to find that sweet spot where it's perfect and doesn't cause other issues.
@EA_AljoThey should never have nerfed Yoink. They have ruined the identity of a TWF by being below average overall. I see Playmakers doing the same amount of defense. TWF should be all about the stickplay imo but oh ya they complained about Yoink because they wanted to hold onto the puck too long in dangerous situations. I'm sorry but if you have 90 stickchecking and 90 def awareness and not lifting from far behind you should be taking that puck vast majority with no penalties.
Roles are meant to succeed where they should regardless of how people feel.
