Skating Speed (EASHL)
Hi, Can I get some sort of confirmation on what impacts skating speed? I have a teammate who is being outpaced to the puck even though he is 95/95 and in full sprint. So my questions are 1: Does...

If you look at more than just the clip, in the play before, the green player is seen hustling at full speed up the ice where as the other player in white (orange icon) has a few moments where he can be seen not in a hustle animation. You can also see his stamina in the green at one point showing that he is above that threshold. This in combination with the play after leads me to believe that the green player is drained on stamina while the other player in white has at least some left in the tank. When any player reaches either 75% or 66% stamina (can't remember which but I think its yellow bar), their max speed starts to diminish. At what rate I am unsure of and there is, to my knowledge, no place where this information is mentioned.

Community ManagerApologies for the late response. I have confirmed that skating styles make no difference with speed. The videos that were posted are speculation and are not factual. Also, regardless of body size/weight, speed is the same. Meaning, 90 speed is the same regardless of size and weight.
- @EA_Aljo Thank you SO SO much. This is a great reference - I know how videos can speculate and confuse their speculation as fact. 🙂
Do you know if they impact puck pickups? Or the entire thing is purely visual?
