NHL Team@llamaverox, @KidShowtime1867 I feel like you guys are just talking past each other.
@llamaveroxis has a point in regards to body position. His player is in a spot where, if the game had 100% physical interaction between sticks and bodies, he should be able to easily get the puck first because his opponent literally has to drag his stick through both legs to get to the puck.
What @KidShowtime1867 is getting at ( and please correct me if I'm wrong ) is that in EA NHL you don't really have the body position you think you do because the physical interactions just aren't there. The other player can just drag his stick through you and be battling for the puck despite your attempt to block him out.
Personally, I think plays like this just look *wrong* and I wish that body position in regards to sticks would matter more. But sticks phasing through body parts is just an aspect of the game we have to deal with for now.
Community ManagerObviously, dragging a stick through a body isn't ideal. You kind of have to suspend your disbelief. A real player would probably be able to move their stick around the opposition and continue making an attempt to pick it up.
@EA_Aljowould something like "scoring chances" be able to be a statistic that is tracked in game? I feel like having more statistics would be nice. Maybe "unblocked" cant be tracked but just shots inside that area.
Just in case its needed, the NHL defines scoring chances as: Scoring chances are unblocked shots from the crease out to the faceoff dots in the circles and up to the tops of those circles.
