This is intended. We had a lot of feedback that the game was too fast. Now, there are no speed boosts with superstar and zone abilities. This should help with more authentic hockey play rather than run and gun strategies based on speed.
It's a good change. Less track meet, more hockey.
CHEL: Thank god you changed the game speed lower. Its much more realistic and you really need to do something on the ice. I think the game could be even more slower.
Smallest players are still fast. Smaller players should have worse balance and also should not be able to hit so effectively. And if small player get hitted then that should effect to his stamina.
I was reading a comment that defenders speed is lower than forwards. If it is, then it should be fixed. They should have same speed options. EDIT: clearly this last part isnt true, thank god
That last bit isn't true bud. That was a pet hate of mine last year, forwards flying past defenders like they are statues. Checking is far more forgiving and the forwards on the puck are definitely slower than someone without the puck. So much more balanced than it was before.
I honestly hope this stays. This speed currently feels authentic. I hated previous years of the game having a 4th line grinder just speed by a fully energized defenseman and do a quick forehand backhand goal. Of everything I’ve watched I’m SO looking forward to playing it
Guy can't make his 4ft 100lb sniper with 95 speed/accel hunchback skater anymore to score 1 move breakaways and is triggered lol
