Explain this one, this was a longer clip of me standing him up but, I should of recorded the whole sequence but this is the main part I find stupid.

I think Showtime's comments on this clip are pretty fair in general, but one thing that stands out more to me than the Anaheim player losing the puck battle is that it seems like the Anaheim player, despite at times being in position to pick up the puck, never even attempts to grab the puck. The Anaheim player even stands over the puck and still doesn't make any kind of play for the puck. That doesn't make much sense to me.
I'd be curious to know the builds the two players were using. What were the defensive/offensive awareness stats? Was either player using no contest? There's a lot we don't know about this clip.
What I will say, not that this sentiment is entirely applicable to this clip, but I simply do not care for x-factors. I don't like the idea that a player can win a scenario in the game because an icon lit up. If we were to get a kind of sim style mode in EASHL, I'd hope such a mode would have zero x-factors. I think it would be awesome if we had a mode where everything was decided based purely on user input and reaction speed.
Oh, to dream.
