Nothing has changed.

I understand more clearly now and appreciate the reply. I can’t imagine anyone but perhaps Federov out skating people in your top 2 lines unless your out of energy. You’ve got one heck of a team!!!

Hello,

I've been playing this game for a long time, first on PC, then on Xbox, and currently on PS5. I always use fast players, and before NHL 26, I always equipped them with speed and acceleration. In NHL 26, you don't have acceleration or speed yet. What I wrote there starts right at the beginning of the game, and my players can't have any stamina problems yet. The other opponents, even if they're still poor in terms of overall rating, accelerate much better and are much faster in terms of speed. I invested a bit of money right away, and my team is actually doing well. I'll put in a picture. My team has an overall rating of 83, and my opponent yesterday only had an overall rating of 75, and he was still way too fast. No, that started in NHL 20, and at some point you just get fed up.

Maybe a character build difference that gave them extra speed? I don’t understand how your (as an example) Federov would be slower than someone else’s aside from (and I hate using this word as people get insulted) a skill issue. I’m just trying to understand why you feel you can’t do the same thing they are, again, if it’s the same player and same energy. 

I’m confused with your message. Are you saying that you and your opponent were the exact same player and theirs was faster? Maybe it’s an energy thing on the player? Was yours tired maybe? Do you mean everyone is faster than you? Use faster players if that’s the case. I’m just unsure of this comment because I’m reading it as people are faster than me. It sounds like a speed or endurance issue. We all have the same buttons on our controllers do we not?
