WOC Defense

Nonexistent. Kinda getting ridiculous at this point. Poke Checks rarely work, stick-lifts are non existent. maxed out d awareness with quick pick and force passes are going through two defensemen. S...

Passing is very sensitive this year. It's been raised to the team so hopefully, we see it get adjusted. I don't think it's atrocious though. My club is still able to have a passing percentage in the 80s. Is your OPA changing to 0% every game or are you saying you're setting it to something else and it's reverting to 100%?

We're an elite club normally just shy of 80% on passing...we're presently under 65% as a team that's a massive drop off. For me personally, I like a bit more control so I usually find a sweet spot between 60 and 75...but after every game it resets to 100. This is why I tried a different controller, you know how hard this game is on the sticks.

This also depends on how well your team works together though. Team chemistry plays a huge role.

We're a tight knit group and have been playing together for 5 years at least, we're significantly more structured than most teams we come across in EASHL. We play a cycle based game, and a positional/zone style defence with low wingers on the breakout. It almost feels like the perceived corridors for potential passes are too wide and it gets confused as to where we're trying to make it go on release

It shouldn't be resetting to 100 if you've changed it. I know in the past there were times when it would set to 0% randomly. Is it at all possible to get a video of this? I know, it's probably not too easy since you'd have to play a game and then recognize that it changed. If you could change it, then play a game and let me know if it reverted back to 100, that would be good though.

I always leave my OPA at 100. I found that lowering it meant my passes were off too much. If I want to place a pass into open ice, I'll sauce it since there's no assist on those. You might want to try using 100%. Unless you are very frequently passing into open ice to lead a player. I just find that's not something I need to do often and passes tend to hit their targets if my aim is good.
