Agree about everything said, as someone who primarily plays defense. I do feel like this game caters to only scoring and nothing else, not even assists. Sometimes it also seems as if the game decides when you’ll be successful on defense or not, no matter what you do. Nothing is more frustrating than when you feel like you take the puck away, only for them to get it right back or it drifts over to a teammate, and they score. Or when you force them to take a bad angle weak shot that goes in anyway.
Weither they cater about offense more is debatable and they would never admit to it anyways. What's obvious is that they wanted to make the game more organic aka chaotic. Byproduct of that is that only benefit the offense, defense is more about structure and chaos is hard to contain. It's still a better game than what we had before, but they have work to do to balance all that.
