Dumping the puck
What's the deal with the difficulty introduced this year with something as simple as dumping the puck? I mean, it's always been problematic, but this year, it's ridiculous that half the time your ska...

Community ManagerNo matter what we say, people are going to come up with their own opinions that they believe are real. I definitely agree we need to explain things better though and we've also made the pledge that we're going to do a better job of that. More details are coming. We're going to have to wait until the game fully launches. We also aren't going to announce any update details until we are absolutely sure it's coming. It's always possible something can come up in the final moments that cause a delay. So, rather than announce something and pull it back, which then upsets the community, we'll wait until we have confirmation and then make the announcement.
Regardless of people's options, the flip has been restricted. In 23, the longer you held the button, the further and higher it would go.
@stattimanThey nerfed the puck flip to ensure that you can rag the puck so the pressure mechanics works as intended, so they basically favor the game more towards the offense, thus creating puck ragging, and making for toxic game play

naw, they 'nerfed' the dump puck so that it acted more as a chip off the glass from the D-Zone. The problem with it right now is that it lacks velocity and basically doesn't respond to being 'charged up'. It's a slow lob and just needs to be tuned so it's a little more effective.
It wasn't designed to entice puck ragging for the pressure system. But that being said, the pressure system is garbage and needs to go.

Aijo just admitted the feature was designed purposefully to buff the zone pressure, so youre just wrong here. There's a literal EA resposne that says "we did this so you cant clear the zone" so this 100% was designed purposefully to buff the pressure system. Theres simply no denying this objective fact.
