Faster low rated player
@EA_Aljo: here's a good example of a lower rated player that is faster than a high rated player. https://youtu.be/F_xaHb0nte0 Jason Dickinson catch up Nikita Kutcherov. Too bad the recording doesn...

Like I said, Kucherov energy meter was higher not by much but slightly higher. A slight turn like Kucherov made on the clip does slow you down a bit but after the acceleration comes to play (90 vs 82). Just look at how often McDavid burns NHL defencemen and he's not always skating straight line. Kucherov should have been able to distance Dickinson easily.
What's your explanation for this one. It should have been a breakaway but my player froze for a few seconds.
This was against a 68 rated team. I could barely touched the puck for most part of the game. All my players are 84 and over. Reaction time was slower but why?

Community ManagerI'm not seeing where they stopped skating for a few seconds. I'm assuming you're the red forward going for the puck. It looks like you were possibly recovering from a poke check? You were basically flat footed and turned slightly where the Blackhawks player was able to skate in a straight line and get up to speed. You still beat them though and came away with the puck.
As far as lower reaction time in general goes, you'd need more video showing this happening. I'm not seeing it in this clip.
