Bugs in Be a Pro in NHL 23 for PS4

Bugs in NHL23 Be a Pro for PS4. I play a centerman and usually just let myself get drafted by montreal but have also tried this by being placed on other teams, tanking draft stock, etc. This is my collected list, feel free to add.

- After some ends of games the camera stays on the bench and you have to pause and quit in order to leave

- GM changes between draft interview and post-draft conversation on the Canadians frequently.

- Stamina bar shows pre-shift change amount after simming until the puck is dropped on the first faceoff of the next shift. This is also true between periods and when you get an energy boost after a teammate's fight.

- When coming back from simming, the puck occasionally spawns in one of the nets resulting in a call for an own goal from the announcer. It appears to be related to the puck starting on a defenseman's stick, and that stick spawning after sims inside their net when sitting in Gretzky's office.

- Powerplay time not showing on score bar during play. This usually corrects after a whistle but not always.

- Powerplay time not displaying or displaying incorrecting on simming screens

- Cannot sim a 5 minute fighting major if another penalty occures during the major. Simming stops and you have to watch from the box. You cannot view the menu to sim or see your performance grades when this is happening. Pausing the game often fixes this.

- When viewing your performance grades on the bench, the controls shown for completed positive or negative points of your game show the last action you performed not what the action is. For example, I get scored on then I hit someone. It will show the controls for a hit under "not covering the point" as a note.

- Can only set training 1 day a week, if you sim past sunday your hours go away. This is never made clear anywhere in the game.

-Teammate challange and conversation dialog options almost never reflect the correct amount of + or - to likability meters. You can take the pro teammate option that is +75 twice and the final dialgue says -300 teammate with no alternatives, and it says "-300 teammate likability" at the end. Even if the flow of that wasnt insane, it should be -150.

- Razor's Edge stats show your goal numbers the same as the player you're being compared to.

- Coaches challenges that you win often show as a yellow "cant complain" without rewards in the post game stat review (after you click "finish game"). This happens mostly when the positive effects of the challange dont count for you, like when your line scores and likability meters are maxed out. But that is not always the case, sometimes its just flat out wrong.

-If you sim from the bench during a playoff series clinching OT and a goal is scored that wins the series, the game often freezes with the camera on the bench, able to move slightly left to right with the thumbstick, and with the crowd noise going on a loop. You cannot pause or exit by any normal means. You have to close the game and restart it to fix the issue.

-The ice tilting mechanic causes stick contact to not interfere with pucks during tough/tilted moments even when your settings are such that it should.

-You can no longer see what your injury is or how long you will be out for. It almost never shows up in the injury tracker on the ticker at the bottom, and it takes nearly 5 minutes of watching the ticker to get to injuries.

-There is no meaningful way to see trade information outside of the ticker tape, but there are no notifications so you dont even know what to look for.

-You can win the lady byng but not have it register properly thus making it impossible to ever complete the lady byng challange.

-The reporters and coaches will repeat story lines you have already finished year after year.

-If you press O to sim while your goalie is going to the bench on a penalty, he apparently never comes back and the opposing team can score freely on an empty net.

-the timestamps for actions during sims are frequently impossible. You will see someone score at 6:35 and you will rejoin exactly at 6:35 and be facing off in your own zone. Thats not how time works, it would be a center ice faceoff.

-Sometimes your captains C randomly changes to an A for a game.

-when completing a coaches challange during a game by scoring a goal, he frequently will refer to you winning a faceoff leading to the goal. I play center so I am taking the faceoff, but Im also scoring the goal. Not sure if this happens when you dont take the faceoff.

-If you choose a different length of time outside of "custom" when starting a game, all of your custom gameplay sliders will be reverted to defaults.

Not technically bugs but things worth noting as they are practically and functionally absurd:

- Powerplay utilization is entirely backwards, if your top lines draw the PP they will invariably get almost no ice time on the PP. This has been an issue for years, that the 2nd PP line gets more time because they are lower line players that use less energy on average. Its just not how Powerplays work. Why would it be of any benefit to have a few minutes with an extra player, and then only ice your 3rd line? On the capitals, Ovechkin gets significantly less PP time than Lars Eller. Its absurd.

-I understand that BAP is designed so that the people around you play better when you play "right" but there are some areas that need revisiting. AI cannot breakout properly without player support, which is wildly unrealistic. Additionally, there is no guidance provided for offense so its incredibly difficult to get yourself in the right place to avoid the AI players skating into you/not knowing where or how to pass/judt standing around doing very little. If I didnt know a decent bit about both this game and the sport of hockey Id assume there was no way to ever get the AI to behave properly.

-if you take a penalty in 1 game you cannot gain discipline in the following game. This has been the case for a while and is nonsense. It makes growing discipline astronomically harder than losing it.

-If you set the period time to be super short, discipline scales insanely and you gain a massive amount more per game without penalities. So less time available to take penalities at all = exponentially more disipline than playing a full sim game with no penalities. Thats very silly.

-GM AI makes no sense. Montreal almost annually trades away its best performing and best stats goalie with years left on contract for nothing, and that goalie is always tossed into the minors. Its one thing for the GMs to have 0 loyalty its another for them to arbitrarily tank super successful goalies at the trade deadline annually and then ice the backups backup as a starter in the playoffs.

How many of these are being addressed in future titles? How many of them are already known? Some of these issues have existed for years, when will we see fixes?
