@KidShowtime1867asking for video of this makes me think you don't play this game haha. A little worrying tbh but anyway I will include a link

😂😂😂
In-game example please.
also, doing circles on your edges isn’t the most taxing movement while skating. You’re essentially gliding while putting body weight on your edges and you’re not hustling or even moving your feet very much.
Thinking this should drain stamina at the same rate of skating makes me think you don’t play this game at all. A little worrying tbh but anyway
- Nasher3551 year agoSeasoned Veteran@KidShowtime1867 I know the graphics are pretty good but believe it or not that is a in game example.
Although it isn't as taxing as hustling it still needs to take stamina. Since it doesn't take stamina it reinforces the one man army meta since it's basically a get out of jail free card when you make a positioning mistake. You are insanely safe from any form of defence when you do this and there is no penalty or counterplay for it.- KidShowtime18671 year agoHero

I understand that the difference between practice mode and a real game may not be too obvious to you, but for those of us who play this game a lot - we can definitely tell when someone is in practice mode and not a real game.

And maintaining puck control in anticipation of a defensive lapse is a meta in this game because 50% of people are incredibly impatient and otherwise awful at defending.
- hiperay1 year agoNew Ace@KidShowtime1867 While I will agree to some extent with you on this one Showtime, I also think that it can be too easy to hard turn off of shoves online which is why you see people sitting along the boards with their backs turned away. In one motion they can move in one direction and then hard turn in the opposite and there really isn't anything you can do to fight against it. I don't think the offline deals with this as much but online, with the mid 70 overall players we play with in EASHL, it can be pretty brutal. I am fine with you being punished for attacking the puck carrier with no strategy in mind but there are times where you go to give the guy a shove and the carrier can just turn off of it and completely disregard the push now having a clear lane to the net. On the other hand, if you are trying to instead slowly trap them in the corner, the ability to board play the person can be difficult to near impossible at times. I have noticed situations where I am holding the button down and the player is not being pinned and instead turns off and again has an open lane to the net.
The best example I can think of is to play a game of Ones online and watch someone utilize elite edges to turn back and forth repeatedly all the while losing no stamina.
Skaters with Elite edges are forcing people to play almost too passive to the point that it is no longer in line with how the NHL is played. That's why I think just a small hit to your stamina with each sharp/hard turn would help the game move more.
