I'm calling it now. The backwards skating is going to be the new exploit. It's way too fluid and too much control.
If you watch at 8:40, Elias is going full speed then does TWO backwards skating moves.
1) no one would do that in the slot
2) it's waaaaay too fluid and has way too much puck control especially given he was going top speed. It's as if the new skating engine doesn't play to backwards skating.
This is why I always thought that a new skating engine isn't enough, there needs to be a new puck control engine. If anything, I think a new puck control engine is more important because with the puck on a string, it's ridiculous what impossible things people can do online.
Hopefully NHL 14 will fix it!
