Good to see I'm not the only one with this issue. I've spent more time adjusting slider than I have playing the game. It's wild.
But with that said, I've had to adjust the way I play and figure out other ways to be creative at zone entries and puck movement. It's kind of helped, but I still think the aggression is astronomically higher than years past and in fact makes it hard to really enjoy the game.
Agree, it's more bearable if you try to adjust to it, but that essentially means avoiding center ice like the plague. Ideally you'd be able to play the style you want. There's some game-to-game variance even when using the same sliders, but on average it's just mayhem on ice...
Just finished playing a game, hits were 79-88 or something like that. As soon as I pick up a puck along the boards, I’m mauled almost immediately. I don’t even have time to make a pass before it’s too late. And the logic doesn’t make sense either. I play with the MN Wild, and I flattened Schiefle with Rossi. In what world could that ever happen lol
