sorry I don't see anything about the setting of tactics, camera and the complete presentation. Again, not a single important fan request is honored

Am I the only one here who feels like this is inadequate for the amount of issues in this game which have been previously listed all over the forms It's not like EA doesn't see them because they clearly do but they seem to be either putting their fingers in their ears and a blindfold on and just pretending they're not there but with that being said can we fix the elephant in the room here with all the glitches in this game there's been glitches in this game since 2014 and they have not been touched like come on guys The lobbies for Chel most of the time glitch out to the point where they're not even usable The amount of cheese going on in this game is just disgusting and this is what you give us I'm sorry this is unacceptable on many different levels

This patch confirms, that EA does not listen to their fanbase nor care about the input we give for the state of their game. I'm Sorry in advance if this thread gets locked because of this comment, but I care about as much as EA cares about addressing gameplay issues at this point. Sorry not sorry,but this is just disappointing and infuriating.

Once again, dropped the ball. So many gameplay issues with your game and once again we are ignored. Don't be surprised if we all finally leave your game for good. The trust is gone. The lack of customer service is at an all time low. This patch just highlights how unimportant your paying customers are. This game gets worse, and worse every year. Complete lack of respect.

@EA_Aljo There has to be some type of gameplay balance in this patch, right?

I feel that at a bare minimum, a rebalance of the speed, strength and balance across CHEL builds could make a significant impact.

I've been playing NHL and Fifa since 1993. Really good parts can be counted on one hand for both series. Unfortunately, it's usually just a big patch to the previous year. I really had hopes for the new patch after the large number of reviews, but now I have to see that not much will happen until NHL 24. Then again, we'll see popular things removed, past bugs reappear, and new ones added. Pity!

How about adding the NHL logo to the back bottom center of the goal nets?

Also, please address clipping issues! Nothing is more frustrating than being in perfect defensive position and getting scored on, then checking the replay snd seeing the puck go THROUGH, not under, not over but THROUGH my defender’s stick! No solid object should ever be able to go through another solid object!

The only thing I was hoping for that actually made it on this patch. Even then, I’m still mad this bug even existed in the first place and took this long to fix.

EA doing what EA does best by once again leaving a lot to be desired.

Yep! Especially since I have a whole thread of gameplay issues that are still ruining the experience of having a functioning non-broken game! NHL 23 isn't adding up to the price tag now!
