The NHL 20 team rolled out a new update today, and this one will look to fix a major issue in gameplay regarding pivoting.

NHL 20 December Update

The focus of this update is on the pivot feature, as many players have been spamming the backskate feature to pivot in order to protect the puck. The team admits that excessive pivoting “can be abused in certain aspects and hurt the integrity of the game when comparing to the actual sport.”

This latest update will look to correct course, as players will lose more speed when disrupting their core balance/weight distribution to pivot excessively. A player’s puck control will also be affected, as players may lose the puck more when trying to pivot at high speeds. The NHL 20 team also added that they may add the ability to lose the puck if they try to pivot “at higher speeds with less control.”

With that said, here are the full update notes:

General
– Restricted directional toe drags to when a skater is moving forwards
– Improved player switching cases when a teammate has been injured
– Fixed a rare issue where tall players were unable to receive passes consistently (This would have been seen the most on D to D passes to stationary players pivoting to face the net)
-Fixed physics updates with goaltenders.

AI
– Improved ability for Weakside defender to stay with their check on the rush

Skating
– If players continually pivot, their skating will be impacted more realistically
– Puck carriers pivot speeds will be impacted by trying to pivot at high speeds to simulate what they would need to do to keep control of the puck
