Everyone’s Connor McDavid now!!!
Can someone explain to me how a 94 overall Martin Gelinas with 94 speed 94 acceleration and 95 agility can blow past a 97 overall Adam Foote with 97 speed 97 acceleration and 98 agility like he’s Connor McDavid on crack? The ease at which this was done is absurd. I understand it’s only a 3 overall difference but this isn’t the first time that a slower player has left a faster player in the dust. I’m starting to wonder if these attributes really actually matter or make any kind of a difference. And before anyone says it, no, my player was not exhausted. I just don’t get it and it’s extremely frustrating. The whole attribute system needs to be reworked and applied properly. It would make a huge difference.

Anticipate the transition faster. Switch to last man back (hold RT and click Right Stick) to always select the player closest to your goalie and read the play. Don't allow players to freely generate straight-line speed by letting your CPU defend the neutral zone. The CPU will let them skate in a straight line, allowing them to generate the speed to simply skate by them.
The name of the game is being in control of your D the instant the puck is starting to come your way.
