Skaters falling a lot...?

[SinisterAlex]

Is it just me or are a lot of peoples online BAP skaters just randomly falling all of a sudden? My guy slipped and fell 3 times in one game most of them at just random times.

Anyone else noticing this?

Has to do with the new tuner, I learned about this the hard way, I was trying to milk a 1 goal lead in an EASHL game with my guy (a defenseman), who has really good puck control and deke ratings. I was dancing around these guys (who would have never caught me) in my own zone with under a min left in the game and all of a sudden I lost an edge, gave away the puck and they scored to tie the game and force OT... learned my lesson quick.

I've noticed a lot of opposing players falling, probably due to their builds having low agility and/or balance ratings. Next tuner may need to dial this back just a tad...

Maybe its tied to agility and balance, on my guy both are at 85 and since the new tuner came out I may have fallen one time.

Exactly why they increased the affect of losing an edge, too many people online putting on figure skating exhibitions. Good to know their efforts works....BRAVO EA!!!

No offense, just glad to know it works and that people can't just skate around non-stop doing Arabesques, Triple Toe Loops and Camel Spins.

... ans I'm still curious if this made it to the offline part of the game at all?

have been trying to fall over, but doesn't seem to happen offline. That's a bloody shame tbh.

Come to think of it, in 30-40 offline games I haven't had a player loose an edge and take a tumble but have seen it online during a versus game. This was prior to the last tuner update too.

Yea I don't figure skate around the ice :P. Both my Balance and Agility are 83 I believe. Kind of gets annoying when you're just turning and you'r guy stumbles and falls. That's something they have to address.

We saw several opponents fall last night and one of our guys fell a few times. I know I said I'd shed a tear of joy when I saw a figure skater blow a tire, but it was more of a big grin and a hearty laugh. The best one was when an opponent fell at our blueline after making a sharp cut to stay onside when cherry picking. Would've had a breakaway...
