This game is worse than the beta. The game feels so slow. The right stick movement is still terrible. Feels like EA is forcing us to use the new dekes instead of the right stick. Pick ups are still poop. Pokechecks are OP. Using the LT just stops you when you want to glide. So much potential but continue to drop the ball. Lets hope it all gets fixed before release

To the bolded, stop skating straight at the defenders. You should dump the puck in if there is no way to avoid them.

TPS is still a problem, although skating did feel a bit smoother but from past experience I will say that is because traffic is low being EA access trial period, once the game fully releases and everyone jumps online I suspect the servers to bog down creating more sluggish/input delay as usual.
EASHL 3's is fun to play, this will save the game this year.
As opposed to real life where skaters get to top speed in 2 strides?
I'm confused by the fact that every time someone mentions they want a faster game, you assume they mean rocket hockey. If that is one extreme, and the current speed is the other, we all want something in the middle-ish (see: NHL 10).
Anyone who has played hockey knows that it's an ultra fast sport that requires split second decisionmaking. It's referred to as "the fastest game on earth" for a reason. EA fails to capture this in just about every game mode. Cheers.
Last I checked this isn't real life, its a video game.
Its not even skating into them, its in general. Even the goalie pokes are insane but it all falls into EA forcing us to do the new dekes if you want to make any sort of move, the Right stick movement feels like day one of the Beta if not slower, if they were to make it a tad bit faster than the updated beta i think it would be fine.
Yea agreed. but most people want this to be realistic hockey...
you have half the people who want a sim, and half the people want arcade... this is why people argue constantly because people literally want different things

Can anyone comment on offline skating speed and responsiveness?
I agree the deking has been very slow since the move to next gen. But the dramatic difference can be felt from one player with 70 deking vs 90.
So i have to ask, are you playing EASHL or VS? In VS, it is possible you may be trying to stickhandle with players who simply aren't very good at it to begin with. When it comes to EASHL, are you using an offesively oriented skater class, or the more physical (larger body) players?
At least when i played the beta, I was happy with the difference between Dangler and Grinder as an example. Have the classes been dumbed down to the point where their strengths don't amount to much again?
Long story short work on your thumb skills and you'll be fine.
so far so good...i was actually able to cycle with my A.I. team mates...even the defence.
I only play EASHL and i only play as a playmaker. The movement is just slow and feels like im using an enforcer with 45 deking. another thing that is awful is the LT or L2 when it completely stops you when you just want to turn around and skate backwards.
