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 fixed, one-timers from the point have been fixed, rebound glitch goals have been fixed and the AI is so much better. This game finally rewards making smart plays and cycling the puck and I'm no longer getting beaten by garbage players (I'm currently ranked 21st overall in online multiplayer). Please don't change anything EA. I was expecting more of the same but you did amazing this year. Just wanted to add a positive review to counterbalance everyone who doesn't know how to play the right way and wants to go back to the arcade games of previous years.

@Eddie_Shore1793Im always prepared for sarcasm reading a title telling 'This game is great'..."if you hate hockey".. Or something like that..Sooo you right, your positive review is much needed, for the counterbalance.Im so glad to hear no one has to go through poke check spamming, I blame a lot of my problems in life at poke check spamming, it almost ruin my life..! 🙄🤭😏Nice to hear you have a high rank and also commited to smart plays and cycling the puck.I have to admit, being not able to play the game and reading post like your, gets me pumped to try out the game.But I have promised myself to get NHL 23 in time to christmas, a nice gift to myself and hopefully a much better price to pay. Win-win. 😏And until then im keeping myself busy watching a ton of hockey, in real life action, so I cant complain.I hope you get to enjoy much more of this game Eddie Shore, thanks for your stamp of approval. ✌️

I will say this and this is no sarcasm. I do feel for the first time since I've been playing Chel I feel the goalie/skater matching is pretty even. A little edge to shooters because of that close quarters thing but I'm happy with the goalie play this year.

Listen, I’ve been playing NHL online since playing online became a thing. Speaking as an EASHL player, this game is straight up broken. LTing, speed and magnetism need a patch ASAP.

I have bought the EA NHL game every year going back to 98. Each game has its ups and downs. for me its 14 that is my all time favorite.

@85celicaXX 14 was amazing for sure.

@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.

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.
