Noooooo more aim assist is terrible. The magnetic hits frustrating to play as on both sides of the puck. One thing I think people are adjusting to is not being able to hit as a 5,7 160 pound forward anymore. Even without aim assist, if you have good hitting stats and get some speed you can still hit well.
With that being said however they definitely need to add more defensive tools to the arsenal. Maybe up the chance to intercept nearby pucks, a button to face toward the puck carrier at all times and a slight buff to shoving people while they're in a turn.
