For skating, it's likely due to your inexperience with the game. Once you get a feel for the skating physics, you'll have a better understanding of how guys move, accelerate, decelerate.

Glad you're enjoying the game!
That strategy has been very helpful for me lately. My defense has improved quite a bit.
