Thank you.
I really wonder what accounts for the difference in experiences we are having. I played a playoff where I reached the conference finals, then the game just got silly.
In replays you could see my players flying when no hits where made... or when the opponent was behind me and the animation showed their player raising his arm slightly, there was no contact with my player but he would go flying far away. This sort of thing unfortunately happened very frequently and just looked funny. What is also a result of this is the high amount of times the glass shatters due to a hit. I am not expecting complete realism when it comes to hits, but right now it's just childishly comical.
Also weird things were happening where there was an animation with their stick going through the back of my player who then fell, not penalty was given but it looked more like their player was playing different animations through each other. Again just looked plain silly.
Before the update I freqently scored off of deflected shots, my players would really react well. Now they just stand there and get hit by the puck. I have no longer even seem an attempt to deflect or to move. It's not that deflections are happening less, it's not happening at all. My players block a hell of a lot of shots.
Another issue was the AI team being able to pass the puck 180 degrees with perfect accuracy while being pinned against the boards. There was not even a proper animation to account for this... but it happened several times a match.
The speed of the skating and passing has changed for me. If you say the update hasn't changed that I believe you were told that and that the dev team think they have not changed it directly. However the movement and passing has been effected by something, so either I'm having a one off experience which is very odd... or they have overlooked an issue effecting this.
Have there been any tuner updates? are there any set for release?
Again, I truly believe this update has made the experience of playing the game much worse. It's sad because for me the biggest issues such as the menu speed has not been fixed, yet the core gameplay is just much worse. I truly think the Dev team need to really think about what kind of game they want (either more realistic or more arcade) but not mix and match the two styles and try to appease everyone and end up just annoying everyone with an idiosyncratic game.
