A buddy made this video. Aljo keeps asking for video of stuff. Here's a great one for you 🙂 [Video removed for immediate profanity - Admin.] EDIT: Video was removed for profanity, wow. Speechless...

I don't want to just call "bad defending" but incidental contact was heavily nerfed a game or two ago so that's why the carrier is maintaining possession as easily as they are.
That said, I fully agree loose pucks and hitting are in a horrible place right now - I honestly don't see the series getting any better without MAJOR shakeups to EA's decision makers and coding team.

I wonder when that will happen.
I've been around and it takes time before you see and feel significant changes to the core gameplay.
93 to 00 was one thing and then everything started to change and by 07 they introduced the skill stick wich was a gamechanger, can't really recall when the skating first started to feel more 3-D 'ish, or how I should put it.. But that was also a big thing that made the whole game to feel diffrent.
07-14 was perhaps the best era were both skill stick and the new skating(ill guess) keept the game interesting.
But from 15 until today, 23, things are pretty much the same. Maybe you can call it 'the vision control era', L"ting has more or less been a big thing every sence it first got introduced in 15...(correct me if im wrong though).
But other from that, just some small improvements here and there, one thing gets better and another thing gets worse, but overall, baby steps in right direction but still a core gameplay that drives the majority of the player base to insanity.
I really hope something new is about to happen, I think a lot of people are pretty fed up with 'everything' that reminds them about this game.
MAJOR shakeups is definitely something thats much needed, but there's something about the 'time-line' that gives me hope, maybe 24-30'ish will be a new era to start loving and hating something new.
