The skating in this game is the main reason online play is horrible

I will have to agree to 100% at the topic 'The skating is the main reason online play is horrible'..

The fact that you can take a lot of 'short-cuts' but still get your way through, that's whats killing the flow.

I can also say to 100% that it's definitely not suppose to be this way. It's not working as intendent.

Which in turn create a huge miss-understanding between the 'skating engine' and the user in control. 

Why a lot of people dosent see any logical explanations to why it's so difficult to play a solid defence in this game is probebly mainly because they got the whole idea of the skating totally wrong.

And I think if there ever is going to be a change on that, the skating need to be were it's suppose to be.

People need to fall/stumble, loose the puck, or what ever, as soon as they using the 'skating system' wrong.. Because other wise, if nothing 'bad' are happening, people will continue to play like they always have been doing.

I suspect the skating has been a problem in this serie for a very long time..

The good news is... It's much easier to state the problem today and we are getting close to a solution.

The super good news will have to be, that when the skating finally 'click' this whole serie will probebly change into something totally diffrent from what we been use to.

This can be the thing that improve this game to 70%, gamechanger, is the word!
