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...
Forum Discussion
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.
Yeah I hear you! No wonder all majority of the EA NHL streaming community are announcing themselves leaving the series. The lack of communication/updates of this broken game has turned everyone away from EA NHL who use this game for content. OgKevinBacon, Krofto, Keso, NippinBiscuits, Johnwaynee90, and many more don't even stream this series anymore since they are fed up! Sadly the GameChangers are just as frustrated. Games catered to the E-Sports kids who live in their mothers basements, learning how to exploit the game on a daily basis.
The significant amount of bugs this game has is purely unacceptable since nothing has been done to fix it. It just shows the lackluster commitment of caring for this product. We consumers are being given a broken game! I doubt there will be much support for NHL 24 release unless some major needed changes are made.
It feels like we were ripped off by a drastic margin tbh! It bothers me to see it! How this game wasn't tested properly for QOL function, is mind boggling! In any other business that releases a broken product they either recall, fix the problem or give compensation ( not in HUT packs ) to the customers out of respect! Why not refund us some of the money we spent to buy this game? It surely wasn't worth the money we paid for! Either fire the ones who are in suits making the calls or call it quits and fold as a company! No point in producing poorly made products for a AAA price! It's a friggin joke at this point! EA give your heads a shake! The Devs don't need the stress! They are burnt out! Get it together!

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.
The support for this game has been terrible. Glaring issues and no Fs given by EA.

This is the #1 reason why I won't enter the GWC. It's all HUT based, which is an abomination. OP players getting advantages during puck battles, getting accuracy buffs on weak shots that wouldn't normally go in, all of the tweaks made to the gameplay go out the windows when WheelSNipeCellyXXX69XXX is able to just skate full speed with an OP mCDavid and score at will.
But HUT bunnies just eat this up. It's a cash cow mode for EA and the GWC is meant to inject more $$$ in to EA as people will undoubtedly start buying packs to improve their team in order to compete.

Like sayin to the athletes before the Olympics it's okey to use performance-enhancing drugs, as long as they pay for them and that everyone need to buy them from the same supplier.
Follisimo - "they had pretty much stated they were going to be hard at work early on NHL 24."
I remember them sayin something like that too.... But when and where did they say that?
Kinda interesting thing to say were they put a lot of pressure on to the realese of 24. Has to be something more in the mix then just the ordinary.
