I've played a few drop-in games and tried out a few new builds. I didn't know height and weight made such a big difference in how quick and agile your guy is with the same stats. I made an 89 OVR Tough Guy and played him at my usual height and weight (5'9" 190), ended up getting 2 goals, 1 assist, and 17 hits in a drop-in game. I decided to bump him up to Boogaard's height and weight (6'7" 265) and my guy turned into a slug.

Holy crap, 17 hits? I think the most I've gotten is 8 or 9 in 1 game. I also changed my player's type to two way forward. I'm able to hit people way easily. Before when my guy was a sniper, I would bounce off other players, even ones that were smaller than me. I was getting a+'s for position play and stats with my sniper build but never anything over a b+ for team play. I didn't know that the player types were graded differently. Once I changed to TWF all my stats were at A every game. I'm at superstar 3 now at 90% to legend 1. If I only knew this sooner. I would have been legend (?) by now
