yes CCM 492, please! That was the exact helmet I wore as a kid!!!!!
Ah so, that name that sometimes bugged in a Wii game happens very rarely. But I think it was Easton.
Testing the puck!
I'll try to make a loop to scale all the values in that section. Give me a bit, need to look up some commands and whatnot.
Sure, I feel we will have another good day today!

The replay puck appears to have two other things pass through the code. It may shrink something besides the puck, so please have a look around. Maybe try enlarging by 8x too.
The two codes use the same code with different injection points, so I should be able to combine them somehow... hmm
$replay puck check for bugs.

/edit fixed error in replay code
testing...
edit: now that's the puck!

Seem to be working perfectly in practice, testing more...
yes, seem perfect to me. Even during the replays and off play sequences during the actual match.
I just changed the float value to
0.72
Flawless work!
So the only puck-related flaw that we have is the puck glued to the stick during the slap shot. The player should not be in control of the puck as he winds up.
This has been in the 2k game since forever tho, that's a legacy bug. Not sure if you can do anything with it.

The slap shot might not connect with the puck if it doesn't track the stick. The puck would still shoot, it would just look like the hit missed. Can you slap shot while gliding forward or do you always come to a stop?
Or are you talking about it sticking after the hit? It looks like you're just canceling the shot though.
Yeah, you can slap shot at any time. I just performed regular slap and then canceled it and then repeat it, so it's more obvious...
In a ps4 version of hockey from EA, when you wind up and then miss the window where it makes sense for the stick to hit the puck, you just miss the shot completely.
I think any attempted fix would end up looking worse in this case.
