Patch 1.1.0 Feedback Thread

I agree...I like the new physical features but every hip check shouldn't knock a guy over the boards or through the glass. Also skilled players can very easily avoid a hip check...have you ever seen McJesus get hip checked? Nope, this is because with his speed and awareness he either blows by a defender or knows when they're going to brace for a hit and skates around them.

I know it sounds crazy but I advocate for a SLOW DOWN feature where, based on a player's defensive or offensive awareness, plays slow down during specific occasions so the user has time to read and react to the situation - e.g. BIG TIPPER if I'm Matthew Tkachuk camping in front of the net and the puck is fired at me, as a user I should have time to make an actual attempt to deflect the puck rather than have the game's AI randomly decide if I tip the puck or not. If I'm a SHUTDOWN defender and someone tries to deke around me on a break, I should be able manually to attempt to poke, sweep, or body check to prevent the deke. These are just examples but if EA did this it would make the game much more realistic.
