I'll keep this brief.
Toe drags. Give us an option of the new toe drags or NHL 25 toe drags. Toe drags are supposed to be fast. The toe drags in 26 are painfully slow and now restrict you from being able to string it with other dekes. The toe drag release is basically dead. Can you still do it? Yes but it's no where near as effective and useful. The game is smooth but the moving toe drags are awful. The new stand still toeys are unbelievable quick which means yall know they're meant to be fast moves.
Shooting feels like **bleep** in EASHL. There are no hard snipes or satisfying snipes. Goalies just react and don't get beat. Even when goalies aren't playing or moving. The game does the work for them. Not asking for nerfs or buffs but something has to be changed. It feels brutal in EASHL. HUT feels great and I'm not even a huge HUT guy.
Passing feels weak, especially the lack of control on saucer passes. No short or long range. Just the same distance no matter if it's a tap or hold. Poke checking feels like using a pool noodle. People can skate right through.
The game feels extremely arcade llike.
