Stick Lift pretty much automatic penalty
Seriously... hitting the X button, even when perfectly positioned, results in hooking or slashing like 90% of the time... regardless of sliders... just wow

I just picked up the game with the 30% off sale. The stick lifting is absolute trash. It is basically a penalty button now. If this is not a bug, who thought tuning it like this was a good idea? Epic Fail! How does this pass QA? Stick lifting was fine last year. It was a tool that I used as a smaller build to defend since I didn't have the OP Truculence. Now that tool has been taken away. I don't dare press the button now. This is pathetic.
Also, why do the AI pass in random directions when you call for the pass? It is so bad.
Why are there still flashing graphics/artifacts in outdoor rinks? This was reported since the beta of NHL 22. I even created a thread about it and linked youtube videos which you guys acknowledged, but it is still not fixed! Honestly, what the heck has the team been doing all year? This is a pathetic effort. Shameful.
@BassMan_PC Regarding the AI passing, there's definitely a learning curve, but I kind of like it. The AI should not be able to hit precision passes on request.
It matters when you're calling for it. You have to pay attention to how his body is positioned, where his momentum is headed and which side of the blade he has the puck on. He's being held to the same rules as a human player.
If you call for a bad pass he throws a bad pass.
Unfortunately this will eventually create another skill gap in online once the patient people figure out the mechanics, but the alternative is the AI once again being an overwhelmingly overpowered tool in a game mode that's intended to be human v human.

- Can we get this issue fix every time I try to go for a stick lift and I get a penalty and it Is Frustrates me and I go back and look at the instant replay and the stick does even touch the player but the enemy player Flinches. It seem to be target it the players hand not the stick. Please fix it
They probably don’t want to fix it. In 22 poke check was the issue. This year it’s stick lift. It’s kind of crappy that they don’t care to fix it. I’m a person that uses hybrid controls and if a person pokes the puck it’s basically an automatic slash on me. It’s been how many months and nothing. They made their money and don’t care. I wish there was a nhl2k version.
I keep getting slashing penalties after taking wrist shots in tight spaces hahaha
