What A Depressing Game NHL 23 is! Way Too Many Issues To Count!

Played HUT after a 3 day break and it was awful! Angled my opponent to the outside towards the blueline for a body to body hit! Instead they bounce off like curling rocks! Then the puck gets retained by his defenseman. He passes it back to his winger, then goes to the same blueline. I poke check and the puck directs to his center for a 3 on 1/ Gets to the side of the goal line and shoots on the corner. My goaltender doesn't have his body angled covering the post. Instead he stares towards center ice and the puck goes in! 

I end up getting run by his opponents which should have been charging calls, but nope no penalty! I angle my hit and take less than 3 steps gliding. All of a sudden his players injured, I get charging and a game misconduct! Rage quit after! So went to HUt rush! Won the game, although my points didn't count! 

After that decide to go play WOC drop-in. Spent 37 minutes finding a lobby. Get a game and error coded! 

Game has way too many unfixed bugs that stemmed over from 22. Gameplay is just pitiful! Content is more bland than a ketchup sandwich! 

Not worth AAA price for this sorry excuse for an EA NHL game! Hit the uninstall button and have no desire to re-install! Instead 

Any effort to include offline content for BAP, along fix the bugs would make the game better! I doubt it will happen since 24 is giving the priority! Sadly I don't know If I will ever purchase another one. Buying 20 for the BAP experience payday! 

Longtime customer of 22 years and I'm officially done playing the new games! Shouldn't have even bothered to pre-ordered but the presentation got me which we hardly see! 

What a joke!!! Never have felt so ripped off over a vide game! NHL 23 Uninstalled! Worst Game EA NHL has Made! - YouTube

Just over it! It's depressing! But my mental health is more important than this garbage!

    Yea, something is off with players being able to completely avoid a hit. You can literally see my player's hands go through Matthews' upper right shoulder - this should've, at the very least, caused him to stumble but instead he just bounces right off:

    Here's another where my opponent should've knocked mee off the puck here but my player has no reaction while he's pushed down the boards:

    This happens to me all the time. Ill go the full length of the ice and go for a hit and nothing, its like they're coated in Crisco. I also notice the game will decide for me where I'm gonna get. Example there's a guy on my right I'm lining up a check, when a guy on the left appears. I will go in for the check and its as if I have no input control and my character goes hard left while I'm holding the stick to the right. It feels like the controller gets momentarily possessed.
