Skating/Shot Styles/ Enforcers

[johnnydrum]

Said this in previous years, as it seems a bit of a neglected element in the game --the lack of variety in skating/shot styles?
(most are "50" right across ALL )---Have any of the Rosters guys made any notes and progress on this?
Would be cool to see different styles replicated?

Another question:
ENFORCERS----Is there still an Enforcer role only?
Interesting that in real life Fighting is UP---but most tough guys play other roles too (eg Gudbranson in CBJ is a "Stay at Home D Man"--who brings the toughness too)

That said , would we agree that the actual Enforcers Only roles are:

Reaves
Deslaurier
Rempe
Olivier

Would we include as Enforcers Only (or do they qualify as other roles eg: "Grinders")?

MacDermid
Englund
O Brien
Gadjovich
and so forth,,,

I would add Ross Johnston of the Ducks in the enforcer role too.

Re: Skating/Shot Styles/ Enforcers

EA doesn't know what an enforcer is. They have it in the game, but guys like Reaves, Rempe, Deslauriers, Johnston, MacDermid, etc are listed as grinders.

Re: Skating/Shot Styles/ Enforcers

Just to jump back into this---does anyone have skating styles for Kaprizov, Matthews, etc (any more variations)

Re: Skating/Shot Styles/ Enforcers

I have made several changes in my rosters (v2.2) to include enforcers on teams. Not every team has one, but I have at least 18 in the NHL. This includes some dman who are considered "enforcers:.

EA has a knack to have these guys listed as Grinders. Not all grinders would be considered enforcers. I took an average of fights and PIMs over the last three season at whatever level they played, and made some changes...

Agreed, I think only Johnston in your list was actually listed as an enforcer.
