How about making it actually feel like hockey? Instead we get weightless, jittery players that don’t seem to ever carry momentum. I feel like 2k sports was heading down this path. Idk why EA can’t get this right. They added freaking sweater dynamics but they can’t get player movements right. Passing and shooting still feels horrible and honestly is way too instant. They should simulate the lag that is real between “I’m going to pass” and the actual movements needed to do the intended pass. Like, you just can’t do a hard backhand without positioning the puck, your skates, your body, etc.
The game also moves too fast. It’s way too arcade like. It should be closer to .75 the speed. Instead everyone is skating full strides all the time.
Bah, the game just does NOT feel like hockey at all. Until they massively overhaul the engine (they won’t), Rocket League remains the best sports game ever and feels more like “hockey” than an actual hockey game.
