While I agree there are obvious choices for builds (like, not even close), I don't think it's a problem of speed, but more with how the AI works.
Sure, humans have gotten a few gameplay tweaks here and there, but it's been over decade and the AI has had nothing done to it to compensate/balance the books. Defenders are slow as all hell and the goalies are absolutely atrocious so you don't even need to level up your shot. Like, jeez, a DD plug build can easily score so yeah, might as well stat pump into speed.
I highly recommend you join a club of friends who allow any playstyle and not some bunch of scrubs who would actually kick you for not playing the meta (which by the way, the specific ones mentioned here have an easy hard-counter)

I don't play really any game with friends, tbh. I don't play leagues and clubs to make friends. I play this game purely for the competition. And, unfortunately, that means adherence to the meta.
Ultimately, I don't really care about getting kicked from random lobbies. I just wish other builds were more viable.
- KlariskraysNHL1 year agoHero+@SummerOfDekes That is because they shoehorned 1 solid meta instead of several. I still think it's an atrocity that PMD is viable as forward build.

@KlariskraysNHLYes we need several meta in this game.. not only 1... and im not talking about truculence and unstoppable force because i hate xfactors... we pratictically never see the grinder , two way foward , enforcer , enforcer defenceman ,defencive defenseman , enforcer defenseman , two way defenceman... because they not meta at all... (and good for you in here if you like these players class btw) but for me they don't have the value they should have... and they should have a good value. like all the other class. every player class need to be special
- KlariskraysNHL1 year agoHero+@kKOV27 I don't want to even see Enforcer be a thing in this game. They don't serve a real purpose but to troll.
X-Factors and such aren't going away sadly. But they need to be exclusive to certain builds even the silver ones need to stay exclusive. That is how you make things like a TWF, Defensive Dman more relevant. I've been rocking a TWD all year and prefer it for it's ability to play solid defense and still move around nicely.
