NHL 22 tried to go the more realistic route and it was widely disapproved as well. People didn't like that they couldn't fire a pass full speed at a player and just pick it up like nothing. Also thought the skating was a bit sluggish and awkward. At least this meter mimics something like in real life, although not well as I stated in my "Full Pressure system needs to change" where if you want my biggest issue its located here.
The meter remains filled and drains at an ENORMOUSLY SLOW rate when you leave the zone which is what causes these "1 shot" full pressure moments and is completely opposite of the purpose of it IMO. Anyways this does add some realism into the game. As for the hitting, I do think the hitting assistance is too high and should be a little more skill and positioning based. I feel, given the rarity of open ice hitting in real life, that it is a much more common in game occurrence than it should be so I hope to see that tuned down a bit for 26.
