Again, people have found out rather quickly that the bot goalies can’t save certain shots. I’m in div 5 and I lost a game on four straight shots that became four straight goals because the goalie doesn’t seem to move correctly when people get in close

Goalies are the same on both sides. The defense in front is not though. Even with both teams having AI defenders, how the humans are controlling their players is going to effect AI positioning. If your opponents are scoring the same goal 4 shots in a row, it would be good to recognize this pattern and adjust your strategies to better defend it.
I'm not saying goalies are perfect by any means. There's absolutely room for improvement. Chances are good that's not going to happen during NHL 23. In the meantime, it would be good to hone those defensive skills as well as adjust your defensive strategies to better counter your opponents.
Its impossible to do this when poke checks don't work and people can pass through for the one tee anyways. People just set up the same shot every time and you can't do anything about it. We could have three people on the goal line and they still get the passes through it makes no sense. The game is severely broken and I don't see how it couldn't be fixed in 23 if you just had people look into it. You guys spend way too much time focusing on HUT and not enough time focusing on game glitches that haven't been fixed for months.
Community ManagerI play defense primarily in WoC. Normally, with an AI D partner. I haven't had a problem stopping cross-crease passes and using poke checks to break up plays. I've also seen other teams defend our attempts at those shots as well as land successful poke checks. Again, if you're seeing a team set up the same shot over and over again, you already know what they're going to do. Being able to recognize this and anticipate when it's going to happen will help your club get in better position to stop these shots.
This isn't saying the game is perfect by any means. I'm pretty frustrated with defending the same meta play over and over again, but what you're describing can be defended. You even mention that other teams are scoring on you, but you're not able to score on them. This sounds like your opponents are finding gaps in your defense and are exploiting that.
dude u literally work for EA you have the power to fix the exploits if I have three players all trying to intercept the pass then its not a problem with our defense its a problem with the way passes are able to get by so easily
