Hello, @andbern21
It would be good to see a video of this so I can better understand the issue you're describing. Just put the video up on a service like YouTube and link it in a response here. Thank you.

Aljo engages the community every day.

Incorrect. There's no clout in saying positive things about this game. In fact, saying anything positive gets you shunned and labelled as a 'shill'. It really is perplexing why people who clam the game is broken "year after year" are constantly buying the game, year after year. We played a World of CHel game against a team last night with player names all "this game is trash" etc etc. They all had 500+ goals and almost 1000 pts each. Who plays a game that much that they hate?

Social media is a cesspool of opinions and hot-takes. It's absolutely where people go to yell into the void. Anything that confirms their bias is 'liked', 're-tweeted', and anything that opposes that opinion (regardless of its truth) is blocked and ignored - fortifying the echochamber.

Yes it will.

He doesn’t, this isn’t the community, remember. This is the minority voice, social media cesspool full of complainers. The community will be everyone else, outside of the EA bubble.

I see plenty of positive posts on here with constructive feedback that is either completely ignored, or the team has been looking into the issue since release. lol nobody cares about EA forums “clout.”

Show me
This game gets worse by the day this was interference, here's an idea maybe for 25 enough with the gimmicks and make the game play better ,I think a lot of the player base would agree with that, even the hard-core players

You act as if Aljo has no internet access to any other site lol

Sure, here's a glance at Call of Duty, the most popular game in the USA in 2024, and their current forum topics:
Elden Ring forums:
Tekken 8
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
Should I keep going or..?

I never said this isn't the community. While it is a small portion of the playerbase, it's still a part of the overall community and probably holds the most weight when it comes to what gets updated due to the feedback we receive here. The point of what I said is that there are many people enjoying the game. Far more than actually post here.
Even turning the sliders down to 0 on interference I still get calls. Was playing a playoff series with a friend and the amount of those calls is ruining the game experience. If the other player loses a faceoff he gets called on interference. Not all the time but atleast 3-4 a game. When cpu players get stuck against the other teams cpu player there’s an interference call. Please don’t ask for video. You guys know this happens and after months of complaining it’s not fixed. Why is this ea? Why do you ask for us to pay for the game when you have major issues like this still happening. Overall I do enjoy the game play but when this happens it just ruins the fun. The people who work on this game need to take pride in their work. If I constantly made mistakes and don’t t fix it I’m sure my boss would say cya later. Come on guys please fix this.
@Rlmadrid09Those interference penalties you've mentioned have been going on since 23 and just have gotten worse ,like I said you can slam a player to the ice and no call but a simple little stick lift its a penalty....I've provided clips on this already and since they can't critize you and say well this is your fault not the game ,well nothing

What are you talking about? Aljo has responded directly to you countless times. They've pointed out that these are issues the team is aware of.

@Treatmentworke66For lift sticks I have learned that pressing the button is mostly a penalty so I have to stand and hold the lift stick button and I get far less penalties for that.
If you are in good position for a stick lift, you can literally hit the button repeatedly and not get a penalty. The key is to ensure your stick lift doesn't interact with any other part of the player model. It's fairly easy to accomplish that, but as in real life, sometimes you make a mistake and stick lift at the wrong time.
