Does anyone know if there is going to be a drag button this year? I hate being on a 2 on 1 or 2 on none rush, then have to let up at the blue line to avoid an offsides. That can all but take you out of a play. My suggestion would be to make that one of the uses for vison control. As long as you're holding down L2 as your guy crosses the blueline before the puck crosses it he will drag his skate and try and hold the blueline as long as possible. Or they could just remove offsides from the game completely in OTP, this of coarse coming from a forwards point of view lol.

I doubt this will be in the game for a while, unless the community cries for it more. It would be awesome, but not entirely necessary. It's pretty easy to just skate laterally for a quick second to let the puck carrier cross first. That's what I usually do and rarely go offsides because of it. But still, like you mentioned, it would definitely be a welcome addition.

The more talented OTP players can time it very well. It's a huge advantage for their team.

I hardly ever go offside my self. However, sometimes I'll get kind of ancy and mis time it wrong and be like a step offside. What I like to do is try and time it so I cross the line as the puck does, by slowing up by a step or two. I also hate, and I mean hate people that do double moves, dekes, fake outs ect, at the blue line that throws off your timing soooooo much. I'll say about 90% of all of my offsides have been when someone does a move at the blueline. My offsides rate is only 0.47 per game so I can live with that. But still this idea would not be that hard to implement, and they already have a button for it (Vison Control).

the most annoying thing is when a player on your team gets "pushed" offside.. but I guess it's not a big deal it does happen in real life but not that often.

there's no reason EA could not add the drag feature, it's a very good idea. anything that adds more skill to the game is a win!

also, the physics should address being 'pushed' offside (ea: players should be aware they are being pushed offside and avoid it!)

offsides is a big part of the game, and it happens a ton in the real game anyway

just learn to not do it

how about just not pressing forward on the left stick before the puck crosses
