Every 6's WoC is 3 GAA and 75 S%

Why is the offense so highly tuned? How is this ok? Pucks will MAGICALLY find a way in to inflate goals.

Goalie pads hovering above the ice

Goalie opening 5 hole for no one reason

Puck hits you and trickles in

Kick juice rebounds to the enemy

Why? How is this ok? Can we please get some sort of balance to nerf the offense or buff the defensive side of the puck? At this rate every WOC game will be 3 F and AI D/G because no one will want to play that side of the ice.

    They need to refresh the dev team to be honest.  Each year some of them seem to insist on heavily nerfing defense to have an offense show like a bunch of kids who dont understand hockey and just want to "danglezsnipez" all game. 

    One more reason I havent bought the game this year yet.   Thanks for posting this it makes me happy i saved my money.

    Goalies need a buff to reflex speed to balance the lack of defense in the game. The majority of the shots are in tight and goalies have a hard time reacting, feels more like “get big and pray” over being skilled positionally.

    We're aware of this and investigating it.

    Try being stuck playing 3's where every game is 6-5 in a 50% save percentage is lucky. This game is designed for 5 year olds. No defense whatsoever but hey you can play as a whale.
