Tips for Defending in '23
Seems like many people have some gripes about defense - myself included. Over the last couple of weeks, I've refined and adjusted defensively, and I feel that I've gotten more comfortable in defendin...

@Sega82mega We are definitely not on track.
I mostly dont bother using the forums most of the year because:
a-You are asked videos for everything (even stuff that is blatantly obvious if you play 2 games a day) and then you are told all about all the ways to do things differently instead of owning the bad design. In other words, waste of time.
b-The game is so ridden with glitches and toxicity at this point as a result of years of ignoring intelligent feedback that we are at a spot where 99% of the games are comprised of people abusing broken builds, system glitches (speed glitch, bubble glitch, etc.) and displaying toxic behaviors (toxic names, ragging, teabagging, messaging, etc.) that its just overwhelming to post about it because clearly its not getting fixed.
The code keeps trying to make the game more simulation like and yet each year the game looks more and more arcade and less and less like hockey.

Okey. Maybe people then stopped caring considering Aljo said theres a lot less complaints these year then previous.
All though that should be easy to look up, just look at sales numbers for each years edition.
Whats a good game or whats a bad game is highly subjectively and what floats your boat may not float my boat.
Glitches and toxicity is a ugly side of the game. Best you can do is try to set a good example and hope enough people will follow your lead.
But if the game still lacks content, for you to enjoy, maybe its time for you to break up with EA, leave them with the ultimatum, 'if you don't change, to the better, I leave you for good!".
It starts with you.
I have promise myself to never buy a game again if I dont like playing it... Sounds like common sense in a way...

There have been a lot of complaints this year. I can understand the frustration. I'm always relaying the constructive feedback to the team. We'll have to see what happens in the future. Regardless of how well received the game is, there's always going to be a toxic part of the community. We have tried to help reduce that with reporting names, but that only goes so far. It's also not exactly easy to punish those exploiting gameplay mechanics. IE: high percentage shots, LT'ing, etc. It's one thing if someone blatantly cheats. Things like win trading for example. We've been known to take action there, but we can't police every game and action those using the game mechanics to their advantage. Especially when it all can be defended. If you don't like someone scoring the same goal over and over again, anticipate what they're going to do and defend it. We all would take advantage of an opponent that is showing a weakness in their defense.
Being a good example is awesome in theory. Many don't see it that way though. It's more fun to win by any means necessary. It's unfortunate for sure, but no matter how good the game is, there will always be that element of the community.
