Face off ridiculousness

Can we fix the ridiculous face off garbage? The other teams players get to your defenseman most the time just barely after the puck gets there. This should not happen this fast. Already I have had my defenseman injured on the opening face off of the game at least 5 or 6 times. What a joke.  You claim you want to be as close to real as you can make it. Well actually watch an nhl game and tell me how often a forward rushes and gets to a d-man off a face off. Or my other fav in the offensive zone on the face off you go to shoot and the winger is already in front of you instantly to block the shot. 9 out of 10 times seems to block it and it magically bounces on his stick for a breakaway. Really? This needs tweaking for sure. I have to imagine I’m not the only person that feels this way or has had this happen to them in a game?

    Hi there. Can you get me a video of the faceoff issue?

    As far as blocking shots goes, that will happen, but I haven't seen breakaways resulting from it. Can you get a video of that too so we can see if there are any issues with this? If you could put it up somewhere it can be streamed and respond with a link, that would be great. Thanks!
