L2 Skating needs to be removed ( ONCE AGAIN)

Aside from the current abuse in getting unrealistic lateral movement when combined with puck protect, vision control is the best it's been in years. Being able to face the puck carrier as a defender at all times is amazing, not to mention offensively being able to face the net to take a shot, make a pass, etc.

yes we can keep the "VSION CONTROL" to the L2 but the skating on L2 needs to go

As an offline only player I find it fluent and a huge upgrade to how it has been. The movement and options it opens up for defence is beneficial for myself and the AI. It's sad to see how it's being utilized online, but don't feel that alone should warrant it to be removed.

Well than have it for offline modes only but it's current state it needs to be removed for online play

Sadly, I can't see it being removed from one and not the either (would take a large amount of time and effort). 

Ya cuz we know offline you use the feature in a realistic fashion but online kids literally abuse it, and when you abuse it the mechanics of the game get exposed to allow these individuals to break literal physics to get around you. They do this stop start, unrealistic player movement to expose your defensive player. 

Very unrealistic, 

Yes, that is the key issue here. It's how the player base uses it. Overall the mechanic isnt broken per say but if it's over used then it becomes an issue. It's the same for the D to D one tee green shot - online it seems to be broken but offline with high difficulty and catered stats + not using an all star type team like you would have in HUT, it's not OP at all. I'd say it's closer to 70 - 30 or 60 - 40 depending on the team and player. 

I do play a very realistic hockey experience and I find that the AI is actually not bad for it either in the game ( not perfect at all but better). Plus the new L2 movement combined with the better powerplay set up, actually allows me to set up a powerplay for the first time in probably 5 - 6 years of NHL games. 

Gotta agree. Being able to mohawk and angle yourself towards the puck/goalie was a good addition. The problem OP seems to be referring to is a glitch that the team's been made aware of, it's not an intentional return of LT abuse.

Vision control should stay as it is now. It's good. Only thing is the speed glitch that should be removed nothing else.

What's super annoying is you have to use it to compete in hut champs. Last year the Michigan was terrible but you didn't need to abuse it to win. I feel like a total rat using it. Can never understand people that enjoy abusing broken mechanics to win. Another thing I noticed when doing it close to the net, is the goalies spaz out and you got an easy left, right, goal. The sad part is I'm skating right at them with it and he can't touch me and when the opponent does it too, you can't touch him 😂
