That said, I'm having little trouble clearing the puck. Most of the time, I'll slap it around the boards. Often I find a teammate that has a more open lane to clear it. I can sometimes get it out the zone by dumping off the glass. There are numerous ways to clear the puck. It's not as easy as it used to be and that's the intent. A team skilled at moving the puck in their own zone is going to be able to clear it and remove that pressure.
Per usual, it sounds like people are complaining when something negatively affects them. Why aren't we hearing how frustrating it is tot engage pressure against your opponents and being able to keep the puck in their zone? They are bound by the same mechanics as everyone else. Just like a skilled team in their end is going to clear the puck, a skilled team on offense is going to gain full pressure and keep it.
We have heard the feedback. Repeatedly. Big changes have been made since launch based on that feedback that have severely made it harder to fill up the pressure meter. I think we have a pretty well balanced system for the current game. I most definitely was not a fan of it previously and I don't exactly love it now, but it does add a new skill based element that brings the need for a different kind of strategy. Something you didn't really have to even worry about before. This is a new element that shakes up the gameplay.
You guys claim we copy and past the game every year. We've added this new system and now it sounds like you actually want a copied and pasted game from years back. I get that the pressure system didn't hit the mark for many of you. Myself included. We've also seen a lot of claims that it's a good idea, but not well executed. Obviously, there's room for improvement. It's very possible changes will be made in the future based on the feedback you all have given us since launch.
I totally get it's frustrating not to be able to flip the puck more than halfway down the ice. Unfortunately, it doesn't play well with the new pressure system. Which, most likely isn't going anywhere anytime soon. So, rather than debate ad nauseum not being able to easily escape full pressure, maybe it would be good to pivot this discussion into tips on how you can use the current mechanics to make that happen?
Good points but those should not be reasons to nerfed and/or remove abilities in the game. Doing so to manipulate/force etc certain things to make their pressure system work better shouldn’t be a fix.
Again, I’m skilled and good enough and have adapted but sometimes I shouldn’t have to adapt to certain things like this.
I use a Sniper build on D and can play great with it. I also score a lot of one timer bombs from the blue line and in using this build. I know a lot of great players that use a Puck Moving Dman on W. What’s next, EA restrictions on only certain builds can be used for certain positions?

@thebrazenhead75Yeah I have asked for years to ban the use of forwards on defense and defense on offense because it speaks volumes on imbalance if a defensive build is more useful than the forward builds. It says to me the defensive builds need nerfed down in offensive ability regardless if they are designed for offense and the forward builds need nerfed further in the defensive areas so they aren't used on defense.I’m glad you’re not in charge then.
Im better than average at this game and if I can use a Sniper build than most players using a defensive build on D then so be it. I already have certain defensive limitations using a Sniper build but I can balance it out in other areas. That’s why we have the capability to tweak certain builds certain ways.
EA already took away full customization. So then I used what was given to me. Now that I can make that build work for me you want them to not allow me to use it for D?! 😏
