D2D one timers are still overpowered and require zero skill. They need to make glow up window shorter and a higher error for miss times to require some skill.
Let's be honest, you shouldn't have 40 shots in a game of NHL unless you skate in and just shoot for the sake of it. The only reason why you may be winning is because of how bad goalies are with saving any shot from any bad angle.
If you want a fix for the puck raggers, which I agree with you it's bad, you have to bring back hitting. If hitting actually worked we could easily take the body away from the puck for holding on to it for too long...like real hockey. They made this game like basketball where you can ISO the puck with one guy.
It's to the point where everyone in div 2 and up and champs just put collapse with protect net and block shots, that is sadly the defending META. It's unbelievably boring. We can't hit because it's a miss and we can't poke because of LT speed boost spammers that bait tripping penalties so the only solution is to sit back and block the shot.
On offense this year I've scored more goals with shots from the side of the net impossible angle than I have in the slot with a green time, apparently that's when the goalie can make a save. Go figure that one out lol.
