Defensive shoving appreciation post

Just wanted to shout out the devs for making it so you can actually shove the forward away from the front of the net this year by flicking up on the RS as a defender.

Its a small detail but this along with the pressure mechanics make the game feel more like actual hockey. 

Once a few bugs like the one timer shoving, basic matchmaking and menu screen glitches etc and OP hip checks are tuned and fixed, i truly think this could be a great step in the right direction for the franchise. 

I know that alot of people have been giving this game alot of hate and yes it has issues but this feels like the biggest step in a LONG time for the series. 

Thank you dev team.

    It has but it works much better in 24 AND you don’t get interference penalties for it,. In 23 and 22 if you nudged a player in front of the net it was interference so it was a lot harder to “clear the net” Persay

    I’m talking OFFLINE.. Maybe you are talking online ? In my games OFFLINE, I play locked on D and I shove the hell out of players in front in 23 😀

    this was also a thing back in NHL 09-11 I believe. Back when the esports scene of this game actually had a skill gap and there were legitimate styles to teams and real goals and fun goals at that. 

    12 (aka one of the worst tunned games for 6s ever along with 14 - yes I said it, 14 was a bad 6s game...15 on the old-gen was good 14) was the year I think they removed both that and defensive interceptions as a whole (same with 14).

    @PernellKarl027 Interesting! I almost exclusively play EASHL with some franchise. I am glad they added it to online. Finally something to stop cheesing big tippers like real life
