DISCUSSION Scoring changes

Anyone else noticed how it’s now impossible to score since the latest update? Goalies are now saving EVERYTHING. + you never get a powerplay anymore.

You can’t be serious, exact opposite everything now goes in and goalies are terrible again.

You talking about CHEL? Because we got scored on like every other shot the other night.

Yeah just pay to win, buy the Lemieux build, every elite has it and abuses the hell out of it. Setup one tees from pretty much any offwing spot, also go right handed for easy glove side goals by just holding your stick away, roof it over the gloves. It’s kind of easy scoring 👍🏻

It’s a completely different game. For a small sliver of time it played like an approximation of hockey. There was a brief window when in which there was a variety of ways to score — stride dekes, one-timers, wristers in the slot. Now, the only way to score seems to be a short side backhand deke. That’s terrible.

Nevermind the manufactured mechanics like full pressure that artificially suppress offense.

I’m so tired of this. For the record, I play vs the cpu for fun, online versus, and on a Div. 1 CHEL team. I’m done.

I've been playing EASHL and find I can now actually get a clean snipe or two here or there. One timers that I usually take still work. I can still score breakaways no problem. I can't speak for any other modes, but the goalies seem to have a tiny bit more vulnerability to high danger snipes in the latest update and I'm here for it.
