Community ManagerDo you mean EA Play? NHL 23 was released on it a few weeks back.
It really sucks I paid full price CDN for this since pre-ordering was pointless. I bought it after the presentation was being raved about via social media and gave in. Felt trolled as some of the top players said it was going to be a good game. The content got stale after December and gameplay has been horrendous in most aspects. Even offline I'm seeing issues with AI self-sauce along ragging the puck back into their zone. Mechanics in this product are so broken I can abuse them in so many ways now. Pretty much gave up on caring and this series is a dead end street. NHL 24 isn't gonna be any different along future games more likely so I officially don't support any of it. Tape To Tape is growing so fast for a small team and they are listening to their customers at least.
Community ManagerAI players retreating with the puck is annoying, but they aren't ragging. You're taking away their passing lanes and since they don't really force passes, they'll retreat and try to find an open lane.
