WOC AP POINT COST

Hello, I don’t normally write in forums for anything however, NHL is one of my favorite sport series on the market. I care about this game and desperately want it to be fun and creative with the loadout building. 

With the new season “Season 2” the new change of increasing the AP cost of specific x-factors has in a ways made the game more stale and redundant by reducing the amount of creativity with builds.

The only change I truly accept is the Truculence cost increase, otherwise nothing else makes sense. Having Unstoppable in the game without an increase of AP points makes it so everyone will select that x-factor as a replacement for truculence and prompts the usage of elite Warrior so in turn would make hitting obsolete and impossible. No changes were made to Elite Backhand Beauty, considering it is a very OP ability. Not to mention the any defensive stick play barely working in the game, making defense or forechecking unrewarding. 

None of these changes make sense in regard to Wheels, Elite Edges, Second Wind, nor All Star Truculence.

Furthermore I want to address the elephant in the room…. PRE BUILDS!!!

Riddle me this, how does it make any reasonable sense does to increase the AP cost of specific x-factors when Pre Builds obscenely break the AP cost cap ceiling, not even mentioning the Pre Builds in-game stats that are not even close to being possible to do with customizable loadouts.

Playing these past few days I have seen a ridiculous increase in people gravitating toward Pre Builds because of the insanely high in-game stats and impossible x-factor pairings that make some of these builds unenjoyable to play against.

This may only annoy me but it does not make any sense whatsoever making this change to AP costs if Pre Builds exist.
