Community ManagerWhy is simply letting us clear the puck not getting fixed? It's been broken since launch.
Honestly, I don't think the dump feature needs a change. I think players need to have a lower likelihood of jumping obscene heights (and sometimes into walls) to intercept these clears.
The dump height could maybe be boosted a bit, but honestly, the physics of this dump mechanic are much better than the old one.

Seriously someone likes this new dump system? Im not going to believe that…
In real life just quick wristshot and puck is flying to the opponent dzone in seconds but in this fantastic NHL game you first hold 5 seconds one button and then press another button (shoot/dump) and what is the result?
Puck is flying maybe 5 meters. Please…
This need to be changed back to normal asap!

hold RT and flick UP on RS. Easy peasy.

I feel that the new system prevents getting absurd clearing velocity/height off a desperation clear. You barely have to hold the buttons for long to even get the full clear. I personally feel that the main issue is how easily players are catching pucks that are too high off the ground for them.

Being able to chip off the glass is awesome. I see a lot of people trying to chip off the glass from 20 feet out. This is where you see the high lob that falls flat once it hits the glass.
If you're within 5-10 feet of the board and use a flip dump, it chips off the glass with much more velocity. But again, the average player is not a fan of being more responsible with the mechanics to make them work as intended. They just want the mechanic to do what they want it to do regardless of what the player they're controlling is currently doing.
Again, in tight situations where chipping off the glass isn't ideal, RT + Shoot. Maybe a little too complicated for some, but welcome to the skill gap.
