Dumping the puck
What's the deal with the difficulty introduced this year with something as simple as dumping the puck? I mean, it's always been problematic, but this year, it's ridiculous that half the time your ska...

Dude. Every time we score a goal in this game, it goes to an immediate cutscene—a very intimate and dimly-lit cutscene—where our player celebrates amid his meandering teammates who appear to be ghosts in search of the soul that this game has sucked out of them.
Just think.
Somebody came up with this idea and thought it was good. And then other people had the chance to be like “Um, no lol. This is a hockey game.” And nobody did. They all clapped at the macaroni art and then slapped a hundred dollar price tag on it, wondering why we’re not clapping along.

I watched someone on Youtube play it on beta. When I saw that cut scene, I decided its a hard pass this year. The commentating is gimmicky enough but at least you can turn it off. It just looks so bad. Its not immersive at all. Goal horns, goal songs, crowd reactions, it gets worse every year. How they have yet to figure out, and this is for all EA games, the difference in a goal making the game 5-0 or tying it up late in the 3rd in a playoff game is beyond me. It lacks emotion and feeling.
