NHL TeamI personally think the bigger issue is just how easy it is to offensively give and receive passes but yes, losing momentum upon collision would make things interesting - Of course that would force an obscene amount of new animations, tracking, and saves to be created to the point it's unfortunately not entirely worth it. Without them I see the goalie becoming even more of a floppy chicken out there.
The problem with these new builds is the feeling of choice. Yes, of course it was just the illusion of choice back in '14 with "fully" customizable builds, but you actually felt like you could fine tun to your exact specifications; these new ones are much more restricted: Perfect for the 5v5 and 6v6 crowd, but definitely not balanced (or at least fun) for other modes like 3v3.
You've completely forgotten about Ones, Eliminator has an extremely clear meta akin to the old 3on3 Arcade game just without goalie hitting, and Pro-AM really doesn't matter.
It's so strange to me that even after using boosters, some builds still can't even get maxed out stats that actually play into their unique traits/strengths.
