@JagavekovSee that is how you view it. I view the exhaust engine as their way to try and combat ragging the puck. They are encouraging people to be in the offensive zone and working the puck around. Being on the Penalty Kill will feel probably even worse now showing true nature to how it would be in real hockey with them tiring and the offense getting better chances. You can't just hold onto the puck in the offensive zone to get the meter up you gotta cycle and get shots. Also note while the defense gets weaker the offense also gets a boost in stats. So you can't go around skill zoning on defense you actually have to attack and force plays. And your method doesn't work for WoC so this system takes care of all the modes.
My only problem with this is, while an attempt at killing one problem (raggers), it bring a new one by making a bigger skill gap. It particularly goes for drop-in. Now if you get a group of players essentially diamonds and elites vs a group of average players (golds - silvers), you can be sure the game will sit on one side of the ice for the entire game (more than it is already) and the waekest team will never get back on track once their exhaustion bar is in the red. The superior team will dominate more than ever and the average players stuggle more than ever.
And by the same time, make more poeples quits games than ever before. I hardly see how this can be particularly good for CHEL.
I'm a 6's all human EASHL club player. I mostly play with fairly average people and we go against some great teams. If some of the better teams out there control the game it's on us to learn and get better. Online gaming isn't ever fair and when it comes to drop-ins you just hope you find enough people to form a team.

The skill gap between the good and the average/bad team/players is already a thing and I'm all for it and online gaming isn't ever fair, that's true. Doesnt make the new fatigue system any more good nonetheless, it's only going to make the elitist even more elitist and push away anyone struggling with the game or with low hockey IQ.
I guess it can work fine for clubs and organised groups, I'll give you that but drop-ins is already a pain in the a$$ sometimes and it aint getting any better with this.
Anyway, guess it's here to stay in 24 so we'll see how it goes. Hope it's tweaked properly. - KlariskraysNHL2 years agoHero@Tigidooh We all know that Drop-Ins isn't a great thing it once was. Like I said maybe the new developer team will work on a solution to make Drop-Ins more accessible and easier for finding matches.
