Some minor complaints
Just a few things I've noticed so far
- Forehand backhand seems particularly OP this year. Goalies seem to be overreacting to the backhand. Sometimes they'll fall down into spread eagle, other times they seem to lock up and freeze such as in the example below:
2. Some body checks are making contact after the player has skated by. In this example, Lowry should've been able to shrug off this hit, as primary contact was made with his dangling left arm after he'd already skated by:
3. There are instances where I should be able to execute a pass mid-pickup. It makes things feel very cumbersome when, in the following sequence, I'm hitting pass after I've obtained possession of the puck (to chip up the left side boards) but the pass animation will not trigger because I'm stuck waiting for the stop animation to play out. Real-life players can absolutely still fire off a pass (albeit, somewhat inaccurate) while executing a stop like this after obtaining possession:
4. Goalies still seem completely bewildered by a puck sitting right in front of them
5. Blatant interference penalties being ignored
6. Players often not reacting to passes
7. Watch as my AI D-Man skates like a bat out of hell to bench, completely ignoring the play coming towards him:
