Match making and puck intercept

Hut champs match making is a joke this year because every time you look for a game it doesn’t seem to account your record or your opponents which is BS because if you’re let’s say 5-1 or like 5-3 you...

    Hello, @nickprevost.

    Matchmaking is based on your division. If it were based purely on your recent games, you'd possibly see people manipulate their placement by losing in order to play easier opponents. Something else you can do is only let the search run for about 20 seconds. After that, the search will expand to include other divisions. You could get someone higher or lower that way.

    Can you get me some video of pucks going through sticks instead of being intercepted?

    As far as skating through opponent's sticks and not knocking the puck loose, that shouldn't be happening. Often the puck comes loose and they pick it up again, but it should at least be getting dislodged. Video would greatly help with investigating this as well. Thanks!

I don’t think it has anything to do with letting a player get in close because you can do from like the hash marks and the goalie bites super hard it’s a goal that doesn’t make sense because goalies do not come off the post and move to the other side of the net when he has a D man there. There’s just way to many cheap ways to score in this game. Not to mention that’s there’s an actually meta in the game this

year that anybody under 6 feet is pretty much useless which is disappointing because small players are known for there speed and big players aren’t but for whatever reason we make it so players like chara can skate with players like Patrick Kane or Connor McDavid which really doesn’t make sense. Like players that are good at something in real life should be good at it in the game and things there not good at in real life they shouldn’t be good at in the game. Just a thought to throw out there I know there’s going to be some BS explanation to why it is every player can skate the same every player can shoot the ovechkin or pass like Crosby but I can’t wait to hear it!

I've never seen the forehand/backhand move work from the hash marks. Are they taking the shot from there?

Small players can still be successful. It depends on your skill and the skill of your opponent. It's harder to get around the big players of course, but there are guys that can do it. It helps to create space in the neutral zone so those smaller players can get some separation. I'd recommend dropping passes back to your defenders and then passing across to a streaking forward. Normally, when dropping a pass back, the carrier gets the attention of your opponent and the move to cover him. This leaves the other side of the ice open or creates a hole at the blue line to skate through. You're going to need to depend more on passing and puck movement than shrugging off hits. The larger players are also still susceptible to being poked and lifted so they aren't exactly invulnerable. They're harder to separate from the puck with hits though.
