I think it would be cool if we got a 2v2 game mode and I suggest that make ot for an example 1-2 minutes long and than penalty shots .
#Adding 2v2 and penalty shots

not enough players to split queue, and penalty shots wouldn’t work either.

Just curious why wouldnt penalty shots work? goalie player can only move up to hashmarks or top of the circle, then other player comes down trying to score either on a time clock or 1 shot or something

Wouldn’t really work with how high elo players play, would be cheese-able and unfun

like you could stall by not shooting

You could have it like a real shootout where if the puck stops moving forward then its all done

I feel like shootouts arent a good idea but just because there are ways that its possible to cheese something doesnt mean that it should be avoided

I think thats a valid reason lwk
its too complicated to impliment and its so niche that no one feels like its taking away from the hockey feel of the game yk

A lot of hockey fans would tell you that the shootout isn't hockey anyway. The reason it exists in real life is to get rid of ties without having a bunch of long OT games in the regular season. There's a reason there's no shootout in the playoffs. Slapshot isn't constrained by things like player fatigue and TV scheduling.

I have been in a game with all high elo players where we ended up doing a penalty shoot out for fun. It was great. I think it really could be implemented into the game. However, I do not think that the goalie should be restricted to the crease. I think it would be more enjoyable and more competitive if it was essentially a half ice 1v1. If the shooter scores they get a point. If the defender gets the puck to the other half of the ice they get the stop. A forced time limit would have to be in place for each shooter to prevent stalling and an endless game. 10-15 seconds per round should be perfect and if the shooter does not score within that time the defender would also get the stop. This could go in OTs that last a full 5 minutes (a full PUB match), and the shooter vs defender match up order could be based on their skill rating OR their placement on the scoreboard that match. Though I think skill rating order would be better and more competitive.

^ easy way to fix that
I do not think 2v2s are a good idea until the player base is much larger as said before. Queues are bad enough now lol. I just wanted to present that idea for the penalty shots.
