Old Xfactors
Hi all!
Merry Christmas!
Its my first post in the forum but many years of CHEL
i must say that i really enjoyed old Xfactors more, i feel that they definetly missed balancing but atleast i could diversify some builds more.
i really miss Puck on a String, Schnipe and even Spinorama
schnipe wasnt popular but i loved the idea that if other team leave a player unatended and he gets time to settle puck and make dangerous shot was actually interesting.
Wristshots from Defenders are quite useless this year and in a ways it instantly makes the position little bit more unapealing in this online mode where everyone wants to be forward
Toe drags and general stick handling felt smoother, but now we have 6different Toe drags which have quite slow anf long animations and in ways i more often choose not to do any stick handling this year becouse its quite slow. (Red ankle breaker is expensive and useless)
i am actually quite alright with elite edges and other xfactors becouse in EU most people use ECL loaoduts and you dont get to see them often.
its a shame that one can Get better ontimer with Rocket abillity than actual Ontimer.
And that only shooting abillity is “Quick release” which is quite boring to be honest.
i felt that “shock and awe, schnipe,make it snappy” were great ideas but lacked balancing in comparison with close quarters but developers definetly made them interesting.
IMO older Xfactors allowed players to have more personality to their playstyles and i Hope EA_Aljo could maybe tell us if we might see atleast some of them making their return
