Terrible gameplay

Remove L2 and that solves half the issues of this game and all the sweats who abuse the mechanics.

Specifically for WOC, make x-factors like how they are in Be A Pro. Certain X-Factors should be specific to your build. A 5’7 sniper/playmaker shouldn’t have the same x-factors as a power forward/enforcer. 

Bring back match my room size. I promise you not being outnumbered and needing to use an AI who is virtually useless in every way is more important than finding a game quick.

Skill based matchmaking shouldn’t be based on RP, overall level, or any factor other than whether you’re in Gold, Platinum, or Elite rank. 

Is any of this really that hard to do? Multi-million dollar company misses the mark every year, it’s ridiculous. Refuse to take any actual criticism to make it better for the fans and not the sweats that just twist and turn and do nothing in the actual game of hockey. I get it’s a video game, but holy it shouldn’t be this hard to make a hockey game

  • I think removing L2 is a terrible move personally. I think it needs a punishment however. Any suggestion would be great but at minimum I think it needs an energy/stamina  decrease as soon as it’s pressed that increases the further you are from your own goal (small decrease in your defensive end and a large decrease the moment you’ve crossed centre ice). An initial energy sacrifice of stamina the moment it’s pressed that gradually moves up if held down. If the button is pressed over and over that initial large stamina decrease can happen over and over. 

    We should be able to do it 1000% but there needs to be some form of punishment for the spamming of it and I think stamina/energy being that punishment is the best idea I can personally come up with. The movement style is more of a playmaking type thing rather than a move to draw penalties and be given the opportunity to skate at full speed around the ice while watching the fans. 

    I should be able to skate how I see fit but I feel the energy requirement to actually do it should be something I have to consider before opting to actually press that button. In no way should I be able to skate at the same speed or faster when doing this though.
