Can we talk about 'muted' A.I.?
So the influencers, streamers, etc cried and cried about how 'skill zoning' was ruining THEIR experience. For some reason, the experience of the people utilizing this method was completely ignored i...

And that's just it; the streamers who want to LT all day don't want any responsibility in actually moving the puck. They want to possess the puck with one skater, attempting to bait their opponents in to making the SLIGHTEST misstep on D so that the incapable A.I. leaves their wingers open for a one-timer.
What fascinates me about the LTers who demanded muting the A.I. because it means "you're letting the CPU do all the work" is that they don't recognize that the CPU is literally parking those wingers in prime positon FOR THEM. And they don't see the hypocrisy in that.
They've been this bad for at least 3 years now.

Just gonna drop this here:
At least blue accidentally bumped in to him and the goalie gave minimal effort to slide over - if this was EASHL, the defender would have dove out of the way and the G would have been glued to the post
- @KidShowtime1867 Defense isn't crippled in this game at all. Nope. Everything's fine.....
The really sad thing is that even if you were able to switch to Landeskog immediately I'm not sure there would be anything you could do here. Stick lift from there is likely a penalty. He's too close for DSS or poke checks to be effective and Forseberg probably bounces off a hit.
You would need to have switched the split second he starts to move to the right to have any chance.

When/IF you manage to time a player switch so that you're in control of a player that is literally on-top of a puck carrier, there is currently no penalty-averse action you can take. In these scenarios, you should be able to lightly tap stick lift, without risk of a penalty, to at least disrupt the possession and recreate what it's like to have someone right in your bubble while controlling the puck. It shouldn't result in a penalty 9/10 times. This just allows the puck carriers to unrealistically dominate the game.
In NHL 22 - Landeskog's body positioning would've knocked the puck loose but in NHL 23 it appears everything is favoring the puck carrier including an almost complete absence of incidental contact.

Thanks for this. I've passed it on to the dev team.
So they’ll fix it with a tuner now or in nhl 24?
