This Game Is Great
As someone who's bought the game every year since 2008, this is the best version since NHL 14 and it might be the best one ever. Poke check spamming has been fixed, cross crease one-timers have been ...

@Eddie_Shore1793 Cross crease goals should work more than they do. The goalie will make desperation saves on 2-1s on cross ice feeds but he cant stop the guaranteed forehand goal. Either skate around the goalie on the forehand or back hand forehand deke for a sure goal.

Either skate around the goalie on the forehand or back hand forehand deke for a sure goal.Why? That's all people know how to do... how about people learn how to actually cycle the puck more. I like that it's harder to score cross crease goals, people exploited it in the past, if that the only way people know how to score, then they're not as good as they claim. But seriously how many cross creases do you see in an actual nhl game, and how many actually go in? I think as far as cross creases, goalies are right where they need to be.
I agree, you probably only see one every few games in the NHL and the goalies are so good at anticipating them and pushing off now they probably stop close to 50% or more of them when they do happen.
I actually like the game with the right slider installment it plays a fun and much like real hockey,i like the new ice details this year looks very nice but without the right presentation this game is mediocre so really hoping for a presentation update soon.With NHL 15 or NHL 10 presentation this game would be awesome and would hit the top 3 on my top 30 list last 30 years.
- @17ZxxzxxZ17 I agree, you probably shouldn't be able to do the same dekes over and over and have them work 100% of the time but at least it takes some effort/skill to get into a position where you can execute those dekes and the opposing player generally has to make a mistake on defense to allow that to happen as opposed to just being able to fire a pass through 3 defenders for the easy cross-creaser of yesteryear.
Not sure if I agree that cross crease goals should go in more than they do though. It seems like it's about 50/50 now in the game and I do see goalies stop a lot of them and possibly close to that ratio IRL.
