HOW MANY TIMES have I got stick on puck and the pass or shot gets through? How can you complain about a stick to the skates when these things are happening? If it was balanced from the start with collision detection and a better poke system, then yes you would have a point, but IT WAS NEVER BALANCED and now when people skate into traffic they lose the puck. I don't see what is wrong about that.

BRAVO!!! I couldn't agree more!!!
