List of bugs and issues with NHL 23
So I'm compiling a list with bugs and issues in one place so they aren't so spread out in the fourms. Please comment more so I can add them to the list. I'm only including actually bugs or gameplay mechanics that aren't working as intended so no opinions (example, I won't add truculence to the list because it's working as intended it's just very annoying but still not a bug) whenever one is fixed I'll update the list. "Date discovered" is when i personally encountered the bug. If you encontered it earlier please let me know. BE RESPECTFUL SO THIS POST DOESNT GET LOCKED
Crashing upon loading into EASHL matches- During the intro match of a drop ins EASHL match you can completely freeze on the intro causing you to have to restart the game.
Year discovered: Atleast since NHL 19 to my knowledge

EASHL club stock uniforms changing colors- When you wear a stock uniform in EASHL club, your helmet and gloves may change to the opposite teams colors when the game is done and will remian their colors for the next game

Puck clipping through goalie- Occasionally when a player shoots a puck it will go through the goalies Pads/Glove when it should have been a save. This seems to be a rare occurrence from my experience but still, it can ruin a game when it happens.

Loading into a game without your paty in EASHL- When you and your party ready up and start searching for a match, it may only put one of your party members in a game leaving the other members in the lobby alone

AI ghost passes-In certain situations you may call for a pass and the AI will just send the pass down the middle of the ice to no target and it wont even be relatively near you. This doesnt seem to be a "bad pass" as these passes usually travel at very high speeds and it doesnt even go near any player on your team. In my experience this usually happens when someone right next to the boards calls for it or when 2 players call for the puck at one time.

Choppy gameplay after stoppage- During 3v3 or 6v6 EASHL matches you may experience laggy or Choppy gameplay for around 5-15 seconds after the puck drops every single time. I can confirm this isn't just bad connection on the user's side as it starts lagging and stops very consistently

Hitting bubble: If a player with the puck guards the puck on the backhand or holds LT and a player goes to hit them they will either miss or "bounce off" even when the hit is lined up properly causing the player with the puck to skate by and not even be stumbled.

Self sauce- When a player sauces the puck infront of himself while skating down ice it can make the AI defense act very weird. The AI will sometimes pinch or poke check or get out of position csusing them to burn the AI. I have seen reports of people saying that this also gives the player a speed boost but i did a test with my friend and did not see a difference in speed ( Sometimes the player not self saucing would actually end up beating the player that did self sauce)

AFK AI- In the rare occasion that a puck stops between the AI's legs the AI will just stand still and do nothing until the puck moves or contact is made with the Ai

Back at ya interference- When using the X factor "back at ya" sometimes the reverse hit will cause interference on the player with the puck. This used to be way more common in NHL 22 but I have still seen it about 4 or 5 times in NHL 23

BAP Own goal- During be a pro games, if you sim after a shift it may trigger your team or the other team to perform a "own goal" Sometimes This happens during every Sim the whole game or just one sim during the game causing 4 or 5 own goals some games.

BAP captain stealing- After a good rookie year or after being traded to a team you may be given the captaincy without ever playing a game for the team they give it to you when they already have a captain and you take it away from them after only 1 year or 0 games.

BAP wrong dialog- Sometimes In conversations with people in BAP the conversation will have the wrong dialog. One person is talking about something else and the other is talking about something completely opposite. There is so much wrong dialog I can't write it all here but it's a complete mess and hasn't been fixed at all since the BAP overhaul

BAP goalie auto sim- Occasionally when your a goalie in BAP it will say you aren't starting a game and only gives you the option to sim but the stats actually show you did start that game. I thought this was due to the goalie being pulled and them putting you in during thr sim but sometimes the game would only be 2-1 so no goalies would be pulled

Black screen- When you load in you may only see a black screen and player indicators but the game will still go in like normal and you will hear commentary.

That's all I ran into personally. I haven't touched Franchies much so please add more bugs in the comments if you find any. Please be respectful and don't turn this into a attack on the team. My goal is for this to be useful feedback and not a thread of just slander.
