More Broken Gameplay! ( Video Included )
Playing a sweaty HUT game against someone in Rivals. I play defensively given the fact he was just LT abusing the whole game. Get to OT and he rags my twice into his D-zone, trying to get it so my AI...

Lets Add On To The List Of More Broken Gameplay!

As you can see the puck is sitting there. I'm being interfered with, which no call was made. My stick warps around my players body, I accidently press the stick lift button but nowhere near was this a slash! Instead I get the penalty for it... How has this not been fixed yet? It's getting to the point where we deserve better as customers. This isn't fair to us who paid for a broken game...
Playing HUT and I was up... I made some good hockey plays, earning my goals. I poke check in the O-zone just for it to bounce. As I tried to intercept I missed which I took fault on. Opponent gets it. Passes to his teammate which is over the blueline before the puck crosses but offside wasn't called. I then know he is going for the wrap and since I couldn't switch my player on time I tried to control my RD to swing left side but LD gets in my way. Goalie has his left pad inside the net at an angle aside from covering the post like a goalie in IRL would. I lost this game because all he did was sit behind my net, wait for the AI D to bite, leaving my human Defenseman alone since the forwards are high up not helping. If I player switch to them my human controlled D turns to AI and leaves position to attack... GWC isn't far away and I would hate for this to make 99% of the competitors rage off this game over it. It's January almost!
As a consumer it bothers me to see us be given such a poor product! I consistently deal with certain game breaking bugs in this game. I could upload over 50 videos by now showing how poorly cared for this game was in the production standard. I don't put any blame on the Devs, it all goes on EA as a company who are failing there customers in not just NHL Series but others also.
GWC isn't far away and these issues are still plaguing the game, which could easily decide the games in the tournament. We complain not because we want to! It's because we are sick of seeing disappointment year after year! This game caters to the toxic E-sports kids who LT and exploit there way to victory! Ever play competitive hockey IRL? This stuff would never happen! If you LT like a clown there should be a speed penalty with puck control loss. I also don't get why self-sauce is in the game! I can defend it but it does throw the AI off of position...
The fact QOL content lacks and gameplay is turning into a pitiful mess! Maybe it's time to fix this game! No reason why we are in January without a gameplay update! Postpone NHL 24 if fixing NHL 23 is an issue! No need for this! I'm sick of supporting the carelessness of the HQ members at EA Sports. The Devs are already just as frustrated, same with the gamechangers and top streamers! Lets friggin do something!!! Enough of this mickey-mouse arcade BS!
@BIGRlTCHYThey had pretty much stated they were going to be hard at work early on NHL 24. Postponing isn't an option because they don't want you on NHL 23 when they want you buying the new version with a couple new features/changes.
Things aren't going to change in the ways people on these forums want. The game is going to push features like full crossplay ability, 120fps mode, and yes PC becoming a thing. Stick lifts will work in NHL 24 better
I come back to install this game after nearly TWO months and it's still broken.
I feel so RIPPED OFF!!! 😡😡
I don't know about the sales, but think its not clear for them that they loose many customers for future games if they leave it as undone. Personally think NHL 23 is done and they work for 24. I am not happy with the actual team anymore.

I understand the frustration the community has so I really shouldn't me making jokes - For that I apologize.
With the NHL series being a yearly title, we're unfortunately at the mercy of updates being far and few between. I can't guarantee we'll get one but we normally see one final update around mid-January.
The best we can do at the moment is continue providing feedback to ensure future titles are the best they can be.

I mean, EA's been bad. But they haven't been THIS bad before. They took their previous horrible model and doubled down on it.
Played a game in GWC week 2. My opponent kept running my players without a penalty! He took more than 3 steps into the hit but no charging call made! Then before I can get to the puck he interferes me! How does EA NHL not know simple hockey? Even the AI is painful to watch when trying to make a pass. I go back to my defense to setup a play since I'm skillzoned... My wingers sit up high by the o-zone blueline instead of being in close support like the strategy I have set! Weak side winger has no business being at the blueline... Watch an NHL or Junior game and you will see how bad the positioning in NHL 23 is... Now the faceoffs on the penalty kill or PP drive me nuts! I have my centermen set for center! Why are my wingers doing the faceoff instead?
I'm just getting so sick and tired of EA not doing a thing to fix this game! It was $120 plus tax for this? You got to be kidding me! Anyways It's come to a point where this game isn't worth the time anymore, nor is EA NHL! Too bad they ruined a good thing! 23 might be my last unless NHL 24 knocks it out of the park! This game though is already at it's end of quality! Good luck on getting more customers because surely nobody is interested in buying a broken product!
I wish Ben was still working on the game! HIs response when I talked to him recently discussed he has moved on! Maybe us consumers at EA NHL should do the same! Sadly this is the only hockey game with NHL licenses. If competition was around maybe things would be different! I have played hockey IRL and still do to this day! Many uncles/cousins who have played junior to pro. This isn't hockey anymore! It's a clown festival made for trendy tik tok competitors! I surely give up on it!
- @BIGRlTCHY All EA cares about is money. Their care for quality left when littman did tbh. I've met certain people in charge there and let's just say this person imo is too stubborn and egotistical to be in charge of what he is. The management of this franchise is horrible from the ground up. Maybe it's time to mobilize together to be heard louder on all platforms. Doubt it'll work though. Read any reviews or anytime ea posts on Twitter etc. There's NO POSITIVE FEEDBACK like they claim. It's all negative. I still wanna see where they get these positive posts from cus I never see them, and never get an answer on it because its simply not true. If there was ANY other NHL licensed franchise out there, no matter how bad, I'd support that game instead on principle alone of not giving EA another dime. EA DOES NOT DESERVE OUR SUPPORT OR MONEY ANYMORE.
Definitely agree! Heck every time I make a new post here explaining new broken gameplay issues it gets moved into this thread so it can get lost in the abyss until I post again, just to be ignored by the suits at EA... Published of 2 videos that were published in this thread, just for it to be taken down... Why? Because apparently I was making false claims of it happening! Yet checked Twitter and many other community members are dealing with it. This includes some EA's own Gamechangers! I'm pretty over this game already and these forums tbh! I give up on hope for EA NHL.
Them releasing a decent quality game is a pipedream now and I do feel ripped off $120 plus tax for this unaddressed broken product! It's like they want to lose their gamechangers/influencers and customers! Reality is that is exactly what is happening! Although they make every excuse in the book and try to make it seem to be the best release ever when clearly Timbits hockey looks better than this!
If they check Twitter they will know how upset we all are!
