Questions asked since the dawn of time lol. A lot of people have been complaining about that very thing. There’s no good answer that you’ll like. I’ve had players who are in the red carrying the puck skating like they had full stamina out skating my players with full stamina. Other times players for no reason lose all their stamina in one dash up the ice and yet I wasn’t skating full speed.
Don’t get me started on poke checking. It’s a joke. A simple mechanic that should be easy to drag and drop the code year after year and yet it’s always broken. I have a video on here of me poke checking a guy who was almost on a breakaway. Clearly you can see my stick not only hit the puck but his stick as well and nothing happened. Of course he continued skating and scored. Beyond ridiculous. This game as a whole is bad. Already almost 70 days of a season mostly gone and yet not a single fix of people’s complaints has happened.
