Power Play Setup and puck movement

Love the game and the ability to watch the game. But the number one irritant to me is watching the Power Play. There is zero entry into the OZone and setting up and moving the puck for a one timer in the slot, circles or points. And the 5 on 3 is almost unwatchable.

There is also no cycling of the pucks and scrums along the boards...but I can live without this if the PP is fixed.

Overall still a good experience.

Good this is something I've noticed a lot as well. Offensive defenseman or the defenseman in general are not entering the zone with the offense to set up on the point.

Yeah, improving the play along the boards is definitely on my list of stuff to improve.

Defencemen not entering the zone during a power play sounds like an old change I made in D positioning by the puckhandling team (to cut down on breakaways off turnovers) is being applied in situations where it shouldn't be, I'll check that.
