Yeah, I can agree with that. I guess I am thinking more in terms of the online game just moving too fast. It's extremely fast up and down and the stickhandling is a bit much when you see a guy like Z.Chara doing a 360 with the puck. The game does seem like it's played at top speed almost the whole game. And then there is the issue of that top speed just being too fast.

But here's where I am coming from re: acceleration - in hockey acceleration is very fast. It doesn't take long to get moving very fast. It's amazing how quick a good hockey player can accelerate to (at least near) top speed. So in that sense, I don't see a huge issue because acceleration should be quick in hockey. The issue to me is that you shouldn't be able to maintain that speed so easily upon stick handling and turning and I guess that's why I called it a top speed issue and not acceleration issue. Maybe it's more an agility issue. Am I making sense at all? Skaters just move too fast turning and stick handling with the puck and combine that with the fast overall gameplay online and it makes a lot of frantic up and down hockey. That's why offline with game speed at 1 plays out so well, IMO.
