L2/LT abuse

I firmly disagree with you there. Learn to use it or EA needs to fix it. Being able to rotate skating direction like the pros can do adds to the realism. Only thing I can think of off the top of my head right now would be to have your player burn double energy (maybe) if used anywhere outside of your opponents blue line maybe? I don’t really have a solution (should have been done during beta testing in all honesty) but taking away the ability to change directions in the offensive zone is something I’d be more upset to lose now that it exists. I’d honestly even rather deal with it in its current state than lose it entirely. Maybe reduce the speed anywhere not within the opposing teams blue line? I’m not sure of a solution but I’m sure the community can come up with something. Once features are added and used by nearly everyone (talking used by many not taken advantage of) losing them hurts more. My problem is they said it would be fixed and that was an outright lie. That’s not cool and shouldn’t have even been brought up if it’s a fix that never happened. I’m only speaking from offline experience currently though so I’m not sure if something may have been when playing a human opponent online.
