LT exploits

This is exactly what I wanted to say/ask. Speed penalty on poke check ruins this game. I'm skating backwards and I just extend my stick. Why would I have to lose the speed? The implementation is horrible. This is exactly the reason why offense dominate over the defense. 

Couldn't you just remove the speed penalty on poke check/stick lift, would at least be an attemp to balance without reworking the whole skating engine?

When plays can't score properly without exploiting the LT glitch. It's pretty obvious the game has a huge problem on their hands. I can't play one game in Champs or Div 2 / 1 and have my opponent not LT. It's CANCER. I am never falling for this bs ever again. NEVER BUYING AGAIN. 

I hate this too. However, it doesn't make the game unplayable. These players can still be defended. I want it fixed as badly as anyone. Not at the expense of truly breaking skating and/or pivoting though. It's possible it could get addressed in 25. I don't know if that's going to happen or not though. It's possible it will need to wait for a future game.

I find that incredibly unprofessional from a development standpoint. That you release a full game that we pay $90-150 for. We bring an issue to be fixed because it's literally making the game unplayable. Then we get a response stating it can't be fixed because it will bring on bigger issues. Then we have to wait for a future game and spend ANOTHER $90-150? Do you guys remember what happened when Cyberpunk released with game breaking bugs? They removed the game from the market and they fixed the problems. 

That's like making an order for food and it comes back as something you didn't order. You bring the food back and get it fixed to what you actually ordered. 

This however is "welp... we know we did something wrong but... we are just going to wait until next year's game to fix it."

Do I have to buy something I ordered again when it was wrong in the first place? No, I return it and either get my money back or my order is fixed. 

The problem is, fixing it may bring bigger issues. We're well aware of this, but it may need to wait until a future game before it's addressed properly.
