Hello again,
I now have a bit better team than I mentioned in my older posts when my best card was Ice Kuch.
I now have 98 SOTM Marchand who is the best beast I have ever had and he can carry my whole team but if I play against someone really good it's not enough to have just one player of suck caliber.
I also added 94 McDavid, 94 Crosby, 93 EVO Granlund, 95 EVO Tkachuck, but have not tried them yet.
The point is, I'm looking for any tips how to improve getting into the O-zone.
If I play against someone pretty bad it's easy because they always over commit, but if I play against someone who is skilled and has stacked team, I am struggling getting into his zone, he pretty much pokechecks everything like I mentioned earlier and I stand no chance.
I usually get stuck between the boards and there's nowhere to go to, nowhere to pass, I feel like there is no open lane at all.
I was thinking maybe trying to dump the puck? I always forget to try it, but do you even think it would help or his guys would just pick it up if they are faster?
I am also trying different strategies, but I don't see that much of a difference. I love to go for one timers, but that's almost impossible if everyone is covered and I usually get stuck in the zone with not being able to do anything and I pretty much lose the first battle and just have to defend.
Also is there any chance to do anything about those situations when your guy kinda hides behind opponents instead of going for an open position for example on odd man rushes? It happens so often to me that the other guy just skates behind my guy or he's pretty much between the opponent D and my other winger instead of using some logic and changing position
, or even worse they go for a change when I can have a great scoring opportunity. I know it's probably EA but any ideas would help.
