Community ManagerI hope that my fellow players here will not stone me for what I write here.
I would just like to share some observations from the game after the update. You can see the change in AI trainers, but I have the feeling that the whole AI game got tougher with that modification, they go more into the body without exclusion, so now my players are rolling on the ice instead of skating :-)
As for passing. Now it is very difficult to throw a cross pass in front of the goal, even to try to zigzag towards it, because the opponents are standing there with their sticks set up, like a blind person walking down the street. But on the other hand, this forces me and maybe others too to play more combination hockey and try to spread the game across the entire zone.
And the whole strategy of the team that I used is related to this. I am currently in a phase where I will have to look for a strategy that adapts to this style.
If I take it as a whole, I think that this update will help a lot to players who didn't manage to play defense very well. And the players who had already learned the system and tactics received a new challenge from the developers precisely in understanding and finding a new game style... For me, it's a challenge and I hope to conquer it soon... Anyway, I'm extremely glad that EA listens to the opinions of the players and tries to meet their demands so that everyone is satisfied...
I hope you don't stone me here for my opinion...
So yeah, I take back what I said. At the moment, the setting of the defenders and AI opponents is a disaster... As for the touch with the opponent, I'm on the ground. Every collision is a fall on the ice...What a save on me, it's a hit like a pig....Guys, this is bad too....You'd better bring back the game before the patch...I'd rather get AI penalties than be always on the ground and not playing.
