Community ManagerShots from the slot are always going to be dangerous. The best thing to do is not let those plays develop. Good human defenders are going to be watching for this and break up those plays before they happen.
I dunno, it seems like the x-factors and perks are kinda muddying the waters, like the number stats don't matter that much? Like drop your shooting accuracy and power to minimum, and then compensate with the one-timer, or up close x-factors... do they really factor that much? Then you crank your speed and acceleration to 90+ and dominate the ice? For goodness sake, I think I saw one power forward build with 90 speed and acceleration!🤭
Controlling your gap and closing down pass lanes is very difficult against zippy teams like this, and guess waht is the best or easiest way to do it? Yes, upping YOUR speed and accleration to 90+ as well. So this is what we have right now, at least on the European servers, everybody is fast as heck regadless.
I've said it for a long time now that this game has way too fast skating. in comparison to pass speeds etc. And it's getting worse with builds like these. Passing the puck around after face-off was really slow in NHL18 etc., and even if passing is way faster and better now, it's still rather slow in comparison with the acceleration players can get. So you're often struggling to pass the puck before opponents get to you... and this is from standing still mind you!. The puck should move faster than the players surely.
