Hockey Sim players vs glitch abusers.
EA for real. Fix. The. Game. Tear it down to the coding if you have to. Because I’m about to give up and say “nhl 24? NAH I’m good”

@TheUnusedCrayon 45 shot games happen in hockey too btw. It’s when the opponent has 4 goals on 6 shots, those being on the rush cross crease passes. And it shouldn’t matter how many people we play with or against the game it SHOULD be a balanced game, but it isn’t and it’s sad because I love hockey but hate what EA has mutated it into

Community ManagerI get that 45 shot games happen, but that doesn't mean both sides need to have the same amount of shots or goals. There have been many real-world games where the losing side has a much higher amount of shots. Just because one side takes advantage of breakdowns in defense and happens to score more goals on less shots, there's nothing wrong with that. Just like putting a high amount of shots on net against a goalie that's tough to beat. If you're constantly getting beat on the rush from cross-crease one timers, play a more conservative defense so those can be better defended.
- @EA_Aljo Yeah but when the opposing team legit does nothing but cross crease? Defensive sliders don’t help. You’d know if you played instead of sit here and tell me what I’m seeing is “how hockey is” when the opposing team every.single.rush cross creases. Play the game and see how ridiculously broken it is.

I absolutely play this game. My team hasn't had trouble with crpss crease plays, but I also play defense so we don't rely on the AI players. We see more teams attempting far side wraps and rebounds than anything else. Regardless, I set the defensive strategies to high pressure and my AI D man ends up being very active while I tend to play more conservatively so we're able to stop the high majority of these chances. If your AI defenders are giving up these chances too much, you'll need to have a forward drop back and play more defensively.
- @EA_Aljo Already play passively doesn’t do anything, doesn’t deter them from attempting the cross crease at least 4 times in the zone just circling the net. Not trying to sacrifice what little fun I have playing this game by playing passive because of people abusing glitches and how bad this game really is. The game is trash, the Ai is trash, the people who make this game have 0 idea how to make an actual good sports game
