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!
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!

They are very aware nobody is happy but enjoy gaslighting us. I can go to ANY review or social media site RIGHT NOW and read 100 negative comments before I get to even one that's vaguely positive. EA claims they get all this positive feedback, but I just don't see it. Do they have the blinders on that bad? No way. They're very aware but just don't care. No I'm not talking about the guys over at EA Vancouver actually sitting in the studio writing code for this game. I am talking about their extremely out of touch bosses who would rather milk this series into the ground until nobody plays it anymore then offer up even 1% of their precious profit that goes directly into their pockets to give something back to the customers that have given them that money in the first place.
I honestly feel bad for the guys here that have to deal with us because they aren't allowed to do or say many things but they are the ones on the front lines dealing with the ticked off customers. I bet you any money aljo would love to give us certain information or help us in certain ways, but would most likely get fired for doing so. There is so much shadiness behind how these guys operate now and it's their own fault tbh. I'm sorry but if I worked for a company that knowingly ripped it's customers off, and had to sit there and play damage control, I guess morally I'm just not bankrupt like these guys cus I couldn't handle it, and I'd leave. People gotta eat though, so I do get that but as a person I don't know how anyone can sit here and treat human beings this way and go home and feel good about myself every day. That's just me though
