Dumping or flipping puck question

EA_Aljo​  Question I have is why are we taking out/nerfing an actual hockey play to support this? So many people are complaining of a lack of realism with this game and this is just another example. What's next, the team who iced the puck has -50 faceoff attribute for that draw to keep the puck in the zone? Maybe a penalty for icing the puck? That would surely increase the pressure...

I think the development team needs to look at how the game of hockey is played in the NHL. You mention running a 6' 1" 150 D man. I immediately busted up laughing. I'd love to know if there has ever been a D man in the history of the NHL who played a career at this height and weight. Your build is the perfect example of how off course this game is. 

I think the development team needs to be less concerned about offense and hitting and focus more on the fundamentals of the game of hockey. Which is 100% a team sport, not this individualism the video game has morphed into. 

For the first time since 2008 I decided to not buy this game. Had it pre-ordered, played the demo and tried my best to enjoy it, and after 10 hrs of that, canceled my preorder.  It's drifted too far from the actual game of hockey. No longer enjoyable to play.
