a throw to the near corner in CHEL
it seems to me that not every player is capable of shooting the top corner with their shots. Even with a wrist shot rating of 80, a shot aimed at the near post can still be dangerous, regardless of t...

I've thought about this before. I'm watching the Bruins/Panthers game right now. Just a few minutes left in the game and the shots are 35 to 16 with 36 missed shots in the game. That's around 40% of the attempted shots being missed.
In NHL 25, that's completely unheard of. There are fewer shots in a typical 6s game, but virtually every shot is on net.
And the thing is, a lot of these players aren't running 99 in their shot power/accuracy for their builds. Top players will run builds with low-mid 80s because they know that you don't need anything more than that, and you're much better off using those points on speed/agility/acceleration. I play two-way defenseman with high 70s for power/accuracy and have ZERO problems getting the puck on net. It's virtually impossible to miss. Thus, I nerf those attributes as much as possible and use those points on speed-related attributes.
One way to make this game less of a track meet would be to make the accuracy/power stats REALLY matter. Like, wanna be super fast and agile? Ok, fine, but you're gonna miss a LOT. This would force players to move away from the meta of dumping their points into speed/agility/acceleration and make them put points in power/accuracy if they wanna score.
