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,,,

Skating style I have not but all guys I create have different shot style

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

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.

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

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.
