Had enough!
From AI generated offside. Interference calls, and goals called back for taking an extra shot at the goalie. Game just is no longer enjoyable. Packs WAY OVER PRICED. Content of packs abysmal. The ha...

@dogheelsThis is how I would go about a complaint about something "broken"
1.) State what you feel is broken. Be specific about it (show video if you can)
2.) Explain what you are experiencing.
3.) Explain how you would change the problem you are having. Really think it out not just from your perspective but also of the average gamer/player to the higher skilled.
Your suggestion as to how I should go about it, has been noted on various occasions by both myself as well as other members. Missed icing calls. Offside, where the opposing player is in my end of the rink, and after taking it out and bringing it back in over the blue line, the opposing player is able to handle the puck even though he did not vacate the zone. The problem I am encountering is. The repetitious request for proof, when proof has previously been sent. The lack of action and the failure to remedy are the reasons for complaints on this chat forum. I do realize that you and who ever else is responsible for addressing these issues, are hog tied regarding being able to fix them. However. It would be appreciative to know that EA is doing something about this, rather than the community seeing the same problems year over year. I appreciate you mapping out the appropriate steps that should be taken. And I have! But here I am reposting again, with the same droll comments. ( those being my comments ).
I think "broken" can be used as a strong word cause as a whole the game "works" but I think it's full of immersion breaking aspects and it is more of a far stretch from what hockey actually is.
The play and team AI just doesn't know how to handle itself. From being out of position, not knowing what the correct position is to being solely locked on a player/ice position that they can skate right by a loose puck without an interest to get it.
From AI teams not being able to handle injuries (playing forwards as DMan cause the same mechanics for user players dont work for AI teams) to making a trade/find with an AI team in franchise mode and they leave the player in the AHL even though they wanted the trade and the player would be one of their best defensemen (it can't handle dropping a current roster player with less overall to put in the new player). You would think this would be simple fundamentals as user controlled teams has pop ups asking to make moves or auto drops as player to make room for the traded player... How is it that the AI controlled team does not follow the same in game parameters. Even how simple it is.. this alone can got myself deter me from playing the game and going to something else.
@EA_Aljo if you need a video of non functioning logic I can add one.
So is the game ultimately broken... No cause it does work to some degree but is it's fun, functional or immersive.... That is where the real debate is.... Cause in a lot of ways it seems to try so hard to make sure it is not.

I was specifically asking for video on missed/wrong offside calls. AI is a totally different issue. We really don't need additional videos of that.
- @dogheels Sometimes getting more proof and seeing more things helps solve the problem. And yes sadly not all complaints can or will be fixed. Some things are subjective.
