One touch passing and loose pucks
One touch passing is an awesome new mechanic, but it should only activate when you receive pass from a teammate. Right now, it activates if you hold the pass button before retrieving a loose puck. There are a lot of scenarios where you want to hold the pass button to prepare a strong pass before retrieving a loose puck, and then continue to hold the pass button after retrieving the puck to wait for a good pass. But if you do that now, it will cause an immediate, unintended one touch pass as soon as you touch the loose puck.
I'll give a scenario where this makes sense: let's say the opposition dumps the puck in to your D-zone. You hustle to the puck and want to get ready to do a long stretch pass as soon as you get thethe puck. You hold the pass button before you get the puck to "charge" the pass. But now if you do that, it executes a one-touch pass immediately. You're not necessarily prepared to aim that pass, nor want it to be executed until you release the pass button. It makes more sense if it's only activated if receiving a pass from a teammate in my opinion.
- And for what it's worth, if you want to try reproducing it, the one touch passing on loose pucks only activates if the loose puck is moving. If the puck is at a standstill and you hold the pass button before obtaining posession, then the one touch passing doesn't fire.
