Everyone is able to use those:
-> But that doesn't make them not overpowered. For example, pro players in COD have "Gentlemen's agreement" for certain guns/attachments. Eventho everybody can use those, they are not enjoyable for majority of players/viewers.
Hitting in this game has been ruined after few patches:
-> Yes, there has been couple of patches for hitting, but currently hitting animation (if u press R3 down) gives you little speedboost, add that to truculences "assistant" (sometimes) to lock on to players. I dont like that.
there need to be some way to get good hits as a Dman.
-> Hitting is not hard in this game, but if you want a perk that helps it little bit: shutdown
There is always people who wants to ban something
-> I think its good that we have discussions, and actions if needed. If majority of players feel like something needs to be banned then its good improvement.
like should we ban Stick 'em Up, its so unrealistic like you can spam pokecheck and nearly never get a penalty
-> I'm not sure if you just gave a bad example or you really think that, but if you spam pokecheck you lose speed a LOT. Thats how the game counters spamming. Stick em Up might help on not getting penalty on pokes so easily dunno.
every shooting abilities like close quarter, make it snappy etc are too OP, there is lot of bullshit goals with them from a goalie view (many times goalies have been positioning well and still those go through
-> Weird and bullshit goals have always been in NHL. I dont think shooting abilities are op, they activate weirdly sometimes BUT without shooting abilities I promise you forwards would EVEN more try to force backdoor pass, because it would be the only way to score. Its almost like that already (not many forwards are looking for snipes from usual irl spots).
^i agree
