I've tried a few different things with Ankle Breaker, and so far just counting the frames I can't find a difference at least in terms of the speed of any animations that I can consistently reproduce. Tried L1 + Left on the Left Analog stick (stride deke), Total Control's "Square" toe drag (Datsyuk), regular forehand to backhand Toe Drag as seen in the original video for Puck on a String, just normal deking movement (fully extending the stick from backhand to forehand), and even one of the weird dekes you rarely see anyone use (forehand off the outside of your foot back to your forehand), and in the video below, a backhand to forehand loose puck deke.
I'll look to post more videos, but there's one for now.
(PS: On 24 Clubs are busted right now, at least on last gen)
Community ManagerThanks for the clip. I'll pass this on to the team. Which practice mode is this in?
The latest clip was in the Team Practice, offline, rush scenario 5 vs 0 I believe, both characters had 89 deking one with Gold Ankle Breaker one without. (Switched to 89 because I figured if I'm going to test things in increments of 5 I should probably do that all the way and not have the outlier of 95->99 only being 4). The earlier tests were in Free Skate via Club Loadouts.
I've also tested the Toe Drag for Puck on a String in a drop-in and it appeared to be the same speed as the practice mode/WoC free skate, all with 90 deking, with or without Puck on a String. If it's 10% for gold it should theoretically take off 2-3 frames of the toe drag animation but they all appeared to be 27 frames based on my assumed starting and ending points of the animations. I should have more time tomorrow to put together some more detailed clips.
Community ManagerWe looked into this and found that there is a 2% difference with the boost. Obviously, that's not much. While this won't change in 24, we'll see it updated in 25. I don't know what it will change to though. Appreciate all the time you put into this. Thank you!
2% is a mighty small increase to whichever attribute is even being affected. Was that intentional? If not... how has a bug like that not been caught since the X-Factor's inception? 2% might as well be nothing so it is a wasted slot, isn't it?
