Game Speed Opinions?
Would like to hear other people's opinions on the game speed. In my opinion it seems to be a bit too fast. There is times when it's near on impossible to keep up with how quick things are happening...

When I think of this topic, I think about how I perceive this game's speed of play vs. real life speed. In that aspect, this game is FAR too fast, and has been for years. They removed default slider presets this year, so we no longer have a Full Sim option, but that didn't do much to mitigate the issue either. On top of that, I THINK that All-Star and Superstar AI have significantly faster foot speed than Pro AI and below, so playing against difficult AI may result in even more arcadey game pace.
Additional fun fact: Not only is the pace of play too fast, but so are shot attempts. I was cracking on average a 110 mph wrister with Taylor Raddysh of Chicago...he has 87 wrist shot power.
While I think sliders need a minor overhaul, the ones given to us do allow the game to be slowed down a LOT. I'm currently doing a lot of testing to see what combo of sliders can get this game more realistic. NHL 24 has been my favorite game since NHL 19, and is the first game since NHL 21 that I actually haven't gotten frustrated with the testing / haven't dropped the game before the turn of the new year.
The game speed is to fast and unrealistic. You add the fact that the pressure system is flawed and it promotes puck ragging and it make the game at times unfair and unplayable.
I made a post last week that was taken down by EA and I was banned for 24 hours because I spoke about ping advantage. It all goes hand and hand.
If you like to fast-forward and do the same thing over and over, the speed is just for you.
If you like to be creative and come up with new ideas, this playground isnt for you.
I think the speed takes away so much creativity.
Its more important to learn 2 or 3 ways to attack fast with and go all in for that.
If you stop to think, the game speed will swallow you.I barley use the word hate, but I really hated the pace that was in this game when I was active.
Probably what drove me away from the game, not only, but it definitely contributed to a bad experience 👎
The speed is just fine to me. I play games like Rocket League and Apex Legends that demand fast reactions in order to be great at the time. Games slowed down allow for less skilled to compete.
I will say the skating in this game is ever so slightly too fast.
The passing imo isn't crisp enough
Stickhandling isn't fast enough
