Fixed "Nerfed" Deflections in NHL 22
Well this train wreck of a release this year has forced me to try and revive NHL 22. My biggest issue with that game was the "nerfing" of deflections to pander to the online cross crease glitch goal...

IMO, NHL 22 launch was the best gameplay the franchise ever had.
I went from not planning on upgrading from 21 to paying $69 on launch just from playing the 10-hr trial alone! With a couple more balancing patches— it could've set the base for a console generation of great gameplay.
Instead, EA reverted the tuner to NHL 20 because "the community complained" even though it was the only month I've ever seen the entire online community agree on EANHL doing something positive. I'd love for an EA employee to tell me what community they listened to that begged making their simulation hockey game to arcade settings.

Yep. Then for NHL 23 they didn't touch anything (that needed to be touched because the game was outright broken) because people complained they broke NHL 22 from what was a great game.
Just a comedy of decisions.
