I want your thoughts on the peel weight in the game because the max weight seems light. is it just me or is there a reason for it

You are right, peel weight should be faster. Hog-to-hog time for draw in game looks like around 8 seconds (in reality it is 13-14 s. depends on ice condition). So it means the game speed is +- 60% of real. But maximum peel weight in game is around 5,5 seconds hog-to-hog. (in reality max speed of peels is 6-7 sec.) It makes it 80 - 90%. To make it same as draw, peels should go just around 4 seconds. So heaviest takeouts should be 25-30 % faster...
Light, inaccurate, and ineffective. Somehow in this game when you throw peel you turn into the worst curler in the world. Can make all the finesse shots though somehow!
