I wouldn't mind if they got rid of that and used RB for 'accelerate' or 'top speed' or whatever they call it. I don't like the idea of clicking L3 to engage that, I feel like I will be clicking it by accident.

Never use it. Same with the poke check (absolutely useless unless you execute it perfectly), push puck, fake shot, special dekes, spin-o-rama, dump puck (next to impossible to pull off the way you want to), lift stick, and protect puck.
I get along fine without using any of these features. They never work the way I want them to. Poke check is especially infuriating...I'll be in great position, sweep at the player in the exact same way the CPU does to me, and miss everytime. Even if I do get it to work, the CPU ALWAYS regains the puck (same with the lift stick).

Something else I never use. This is mostly attributed to the fact that scouting in this game is crap. 4 weeks scouting 12 prospects with a full Amateur Scout rating reveals approximately 1/3 of the attributes, and we never get to see potential. Drafting is more of a gamble than in reality, even with a top 5 pick.
I trade my picks for established players, or for already drafted prospects that have good attributes/potential.
