OOH. yes. This is something I feel. Especially in Beast hockey. They set the players up in a 2×2 formation in front of the puck. I hate being front row, because I have to run past my teammates who are all dropkicking in 95% of the time. Ive gotten pretty good at shield parrying, but it isn't a great feel when I get knocked by my teammates on the way there. Especially when its EVERY ROUND.
This would make playing offense or defense a bit more reactionary. I love it.
