You know full well that flipping the puck 6 feet in the air from a foot inside of your zone isn’t what is being talked about.
For better or worse the developers are not able to fully include “hockey logic” into all aspects of the game because of the need to combat online metas and complaints.
But being able to skate full speed into the boards of your own zone and then no look backhand it instantaneously 75-100 feet down the ice was? Like come on let’s be honest with ourselves here. The dump the puck animation was stupid strong in older games and was a defensive get out of jail free card when your other 4 skaters on the ice are disregarding a clean breakout as a team and are instead, at the centerline leaving their teammate hung out to dry! This is a team game after all and breaking the puck out is a team task, not an individual one.
I’ll agree that the forehand dump should be stronger though. If you are pulling back on the forehand, then the puck should shoot to the moon. But alas it doesn’t and so we have to find new ways of clearing the puck as a team. Adapt to a gameplay change.
