Is this intended this year? Team leaves the zone that was building pressure and the puck makes it ALL the way to the other side and the pressure meter does not lower from where it was. I have seen this happen nearly every time but cant tell if this is just EA being EA or if it is intended.
I know this was happening last year as if you check out the below forum post's 2nd example comment from me, you will see a video of my team being in their zone after our pressure meter was almost full. We cycled in their zone for over a minute long only to find that it had gone down to about a little under 60% when they dumped it back into ours. In the main example however, I leave the AI's zone and come back about 30 seconds later to find it at 40% from 80%.

1. 80%-40% in 30 seconds offline
2. 100 - 58% in one minute.
Something seems off here....
Community ManagerThanks for the report. If you get a video of it, let me know. I'll pass the feedback on to the team regardless though.
Community ManagerThanks! Appreciate you grabbing the clip.
Of course, Happy to help.... we gotta get that depletion meter back down to like 1 bar per 3-5 seconds. 1 bar per 15 seconds means 30 seconds of TOA in their zone can be countered by a Teemu Selanne with Elite Pressure + hucking a wrist shot as he crosses the blueline.
Here is a comparison to the way it was originally programmed. No patch or gameplay interview stating it was being extended. Only removed the ability to gain meter with just puck possession.
24 Full Pressure
You can see that in 24, it was about 1 bar per 6 seconds. Much more balanced than the 1 per 15 seconds of 25 and 26.
Community ManagerThanks again. I'll send over the feedback.
