NHL 23 summed up in this video
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...

@FloundinatorQQ Totally agree. When do you everything right and still get screwed, it's no fun. I find myself battling the completely broken mechanics of this years game more than any other NHL game EVER!
Can you go in to detail on which mechanics are broken?
@EA_Aljo You said that you watched that video right? Everything in there and forced cross creases that go right through my stick blade, feet, body etc....
Offense has always been favored in this game but this years edition is just beyond frustrating when trying to defend. I feel really bad for full time d men because you basically took away 2 of their most effective tools to defend.
I play a lot and I also play in competitive leagues (WOHL, LG for west coast players). Myself and everyone that I know who are good players say the EXACT same thing.
This game just isn't fun and frustrating to play. We only play it because we love hockey and don't have any other alternative.
EA is lucky that they're the only one's making hockey because if they had competition and a developer that listened, gave CONSTANT feedback/communication and made changes that we asked for, A LOT of us wouldn't hesitate to jump ship.
I'm sick and tired of saying the same thing year after year. Instead of focusing on core GAMEPLAY that functions PROPERLY, they keep adding in gimmicky things that no one is asking for. You wonder why the same things are broken year after year, it's because they're never fixed properly and more stuff is added into an already broken game. The code is so jumbled and massive that of course when you "fix" something, something else ends up being broken in the process.

They're so busy trying to make a new flashing mechanic to put on the box as a selling point that they completely neglect the broken stuff they leave in the game from last year in the two years before that. Stop trying to add crap nobody wants or asks for it and fix the things we have been asking for for years. What good is adding new stuff to the game if it is already broken when you add it, and you are adding it on top of already broken mechanics that you refuse to fix? It's no wonder this game is in the state it's in. Terrible management.
- @Kmahrle83 Exactly! You wanna market something BIG for NHL 24, EA? How about marketing that the game works PROPERLY and things WORK as they should and don't add in a single damn new feature. Let us be the judge in the beta and speak with our wallets then. I don't need no fancy college degree or 6 figure salary to come up with that idea, yet you have people who make these decisions and are so out of touch with your buyers. KEEP IT SIMPLE and fix the damn GAMEPLAY, make it work PROPERLY. How does that sound?
- @Nammer604 Well full crossplay is part of the goal for NHL 24. HUT will be getting a slight changeup. Stick Lifting will be addressed. Player traits will get tuned up/down. And 5 bugs will be fixed offline that create 10 new ones.
