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
Community ManagerI'm not a developer. It's not something I can do anything about.
Can you get me some video so I can see why myself, my opponents, along with your opponents are able to defend this, but your team is having trouble with it? I'll review it for any issues.
AI goalies give up close quarters goals legit I would say 90% of the time. If you have close quarters, skate in close and shoot (it doesn't seem to matter which side) the puck is in the back of the net. It's one of the reasons I stopped playing this game already.
You don't even need Close Quarters this year - Heck, you don't even need to deke or shoot, the puck will always find its way to the back of the net
Why CHEL Sucks Here you go 1 hour of gameplay
