Wheels and Truculence

Both of these are way too overpowered. I can't skate in the vicinity of someone with truculence without getting knocked down for 30+ seconds. That is real fun.

With wheels, I don't know how many more times I can have players just casually skate by the computer Defense and score the same goal over and over and over and over and over. You can't play a normal game because you are constantly covering for non-existent Defense and players take way too advantage of this. The only fix is to take out wheels at this point. These 2 perks have completely ruined the game for people who just want a hockey game to play and not a fortnite remake.

  • Agreed. I would also remove/ rebalance EE. The devs just went way too crazy with all of the X-factors with 0 balance in mind. I like x-factors in some ways, especially when boosting small things or giving access to specific animations as those things separate those players from the field.. but a lot of them just kinda break the immersion completely. Add on the fact that now everyone runs the exact same one's or use an EA pre-made build and everyone feels exactly the same which was the whole premise behind adding x-factors into the game.

    Is there an update here? this seems to only have gotten worse over the last week. so many people skating right around the computer to score the same exact backhand goal over, and over, and over, and over, and over. Me and my team don't want to play like that and others force us to and this game just feels unplayable at this point.

    I couldn't agree more. Hopefully, we'll see adjustments made to these. I know they're being investigated. Appreciate the constructive feedback.
