Why do we have this pressure system? I don't know anyone who thinks pressure system should be in the game. It doesn't make sense you suddenly lose speed and energy for some artificial pressure. If team gets exhausted while defending, pressure comes naturally if so.

I honestly wouldn't mind it if they did away with pressure+, the pressure clears once the puck is out of your zone, and the NORMAL clears came back so you could clear it over the heads of the forecheckers, like you know, the real NHL.

Here's another terrible design. Even if you get the pressure off you the pressure gauge doesn't reset FULLY until you do an action like putting a shot on goal yourself or a hit. Usually, you're too tired to do any of that, so even if you clear the zone the puck comes right back in with pressure built up even after a clear.
