Get Rid of Elite Edges/Wheels in EASHL
I've owned every single EA NHL game. I still have my Sega and all of those original games going back to the NHLPA Hockey days. To say I'm a devoted fan, and sometimes an apologist to this franchise, ...

But that's just it... your job is not to contribute offensively for the most part. Your main job is to stop them from putting the puck in your net. If you want to play that game instead and get super offensive, then expect to give up breakaways and that is not the games fault for giving them wheels. That is instead, your fault for not wanting to play defensive.
Its just like in League games when I see a game is tied up with seconds left because the leading team had an odd man rush and they go for the shot only to have it hit off the post. The trailing team then picked up the puck and went back the other way catching the defense off guard and tying up the game. So many people would blame the game saying they got "EA'd" by them hitting the post when the real question should have been why the heck did the forward not just take it to the corner and secure the win?
It's simple, people only think in terms of offense and that's why games are tailored to that. If you want that mindset, then by all means have at it and win games 8-6. But don't blame the game or the perk for every time you are getting beat because you wanted to be "in the play" on offense. That is not your job. Plain and simple.
Respectfully, I ******* love you and how you approach the game. You can tell you watch and or play real hockey. Your thoughts are almost identical to those of my own. Secure the W. Play for the W, not for the score sheet. The game would be incredible if more people thought like you do.
