The team also plans to deliver Hybrid controls and standard goalie controls later this month along with some changes to the lacrosse move in a future update.
- Adding in the chance of failure for the face button produced lacrosse move by assigning a probability of dropping the puck based on deking rating.
- For skill stick players, allow fewer error frames on the rotational skill stick input for lower rated players (the lowest will be equivalent to NHL 23).
Check out the patch notes below.
Gameplay
- Puck Possession Tuned Down 30% – We have lowered the impact that possessing the puck has in the offensive zone with regards to building sustained pressure. The value of possessing the puck has been lowered by 30%. Shots on net and big hits in the offensive zone are now strengthened as the best way to build sustained pressure.
Note: This change was planned to be reflected in a previous patch but had been delayed until Patch 1.1.0
