Already have silver Shutdown. I also don't have the two speed mini-perks that should get my speed to 93. I had Truck on my build last year, but it's missing this year (or will be added later). I'm high stick checking. High agility (For the twirl raggers at the dots). High Speed. 90+ Def Rating with a high 80's Pass.
It still boggles my mind. Gold Stick Em Up, 90+ Def and Stick-Checking w/ Silver Shutdown for 1 on 1 situations, and I can barely poke. DSS is a toss-up in effectiveness, but I use it to "try" and funnel players away from the center of the ice.
Good god ! All of bolded in this post makes me cringe so much that we are talking about a hockey game 😳😒
Looking at the last few pages of discussion in this thread, makes me even more NOT WANTING to ever, ever play online… They made these mode like a RPG or something ? GOLD STICKem UP, SILVER SHUTDOWN, what’s next SMELLING SALTS wonder ? Why can’t you just use a "standard" team, with "standard" players to play a freakin hockey game ???
So many things wrong with all of this, for me it’s really, really SAD 😫
It goes so well with the title of this thread tho….
Isn't it kind of insulting to the NHL and the sport of hockey

@PernellKarl027I have kept this saved forever. And yes EASHL is like an RPG league of creating and being a superstar.
I get the concept of playing for yourself and for your name, instead of playing with an NHL guy. But why can’t you become a star in the league, dictated by your play, by your stats and this over time builds up your attributes like in BAP mode ? Can I be recognized in that EASHL league without having to grind for GOLDEN TRUCULENCE PANTS or SILVER SLAP'EM GOOD HOCKEY STICK ?
On top of them adding that goal CELLY, pressure icons and system on the ice and whatnot. Can I play a real good hockey game in its purest form ? Why can’t EA spend their time and focus on things that matters the most first and foremost ?
It's all these Fortnite business model elements in a hockey game that drives a guy like me bonkers !!!
