All the knowledge suggests it's better to train OD after getting the elastics, maybe that's wrong.
Training wise it's better to train OD with elastics. But it's not uncommon for people to forgo training speed for game performance.
However this might not necessarily be true.
It is part of the reason why players shoot, so you have to consider that. But high JS and DR is going to shoot more than low JS and high DR.
I've seen quite a few instances where players with low JS and high DR still take a considerable number of shots over teammates with much higher JS. However in those cases, their passing was much lower than their DR, so maybe like you said - the key is to have higher passing.
