Reactive Actions
Thanks to ICE-Q opening up more offensive opportunities, the new Skill-Based One-Timers really shine.
Anchored by a new in-game visual indicator that identifies a teammate as a target for a Skill-Based One-Timer, when passing to a teammate you’ll need to input the shot control as the puck arrives. The timing window to nail a Skill-Based One-Timer is dynamic and takes into account how fast the pass is traveling, as well as the shooter's abilities like the One T X-Factor.
If timed correctly you’ll unleash the Skill-Based One-Timer, which is more powerful and accurate. If your timing is off, the shot’s accuracy drops, raising the stakes and making the action all the more exciting.
