FIX PLAYER FATIGUE!!!
My goodness, NHL players are highly conditioned athletes, don't drain them 8 seconds into a shift!! And also, if you're going to fatigue them so fast you have to realize that NHL players are good to ...

Player fatigue is absolutely terrible!!
2024 EA Hockey player fatigue was responsible!!
This is a broken hockey and needs a major update !!
please 😊
Sadly, NHL 24 and 23 stamina and speed was OP due to it being based around more of a fast paced arcade experience that worked well for online play (3v3, 6v6, CHEL).
If you play offline and play a more simulated experience which I feel this game feels more like, then stamina or speed isn't an issue - if you look at shifts in the NHL they are on average 40 seconds to a minute in length max. If the players are kept out longer they are slower, tired and are more acceptable to making a mistake, which I know from my personal experience (85 games in a franchise more) that this is true as well. I can't count how many times I get caught out with a tired line or decide to go for a rush instead of dumping the punk for a change and it ended up coming back into my zone - leading to a high risk scoring chance or goal.
This game requires you to manage stamina more like you would have to in a real game of hockey. The issue with this is that it is not ideal for the online modes that are based solely on using one player the whole time - this I feel is where the issue is.
I can see the differing opinions but to myself who plays a fairly realistic experience offline it works fine and the closest we have had to a simulated experience with stamina and speed since maybe NHL 20 or 21.
