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...
I think I have an idea that would be a good solution and even out to both sides.
My idea is that your stamina would determine power of the puck dumped out. So the higher your stamina the higher you can flip it with accuracy. But when you are low on energy the flip is weak and accuracy will suffer slightly.
This gives the offensive team who built up the pressure bar the ability to keep the pressure on tired defenders like we have currently.
Now if the defense can get the puck before the pressure system is up and/or they have stamina they can flip it out higher and accurately.
75% to 100% stamina = full power dump accurate placement
74% to 40% stamina = half power dump and slightly inaccurate placement.
39% to 0 stamina = the dump we currently have in place but would be more inaccurate in placement.
Both sides get a benefit.

This is a great suggestion, I still think the power should be controlled by ‘charging’ it up.
Obviously the lower the stamina, the longer you would have to hold down the button before flicking the joystick. That way we don’t have set strengths based on stamina and could still have the ability to clear the puck if given enough time and space.
I also wouldn’t hate having more severe penalties for accuracy either, especially if the player is turning or not facing up ice when making this play.
