I just saw a commercial for NHL 24 during the intermission of the Hockey Night In Canada broadcast of Leafs vs Lightning. Doesn't that mean the target audience is people who watch hockey?
There was not a single lacrosse goal or hip check in the 1st period of the game. There were lots of puck battles, loose pucks, missed passes, boardplay, chips/clears out of the zone, dumps into the zone, etc. There also weren't any special power meters on the ice and goalies didn't lose their minds after some passes were completed in their zone.
Why would they make the game not resemble hockey and then advertise it to people that watch hockey?
Also, for all I hear about how small the budget is for NHL because it is a small market, it costs 100k to advertise on HNIC based on a quick google search.

What game are you playing? NHL 24? And it doesn't resemble hockey? Have some of you forgotten that VIDEOGAMES are supposed to be FUN? This obsession with a 100% simulation of every single element of the sport is going to drive some of you insane. You're NEVER going to get it.
If you want 100% hockey - then go play hockey.
You would have more fun with this game if you didn't take it so darn seriously every time a move becomes OP, you end up on the bad end of a bug/animation glitch or god forbid EA take some chances to make changes to the gameplay to freshen things up. Why not take the time to master the maneuvers in this game that are getting the best of you while EA tries to address it in a future patch, rather than just constantly beating this drum of "tHey doN'T kNow HocKeY?"
I've currently lost 5-6 games in a row in OVP, I can't seem to find my groove in WoC yet and I've had a few successful endeavours into HUT, but ultimately getting whooped by much more skilled players.
Am I getting all salty about the hip check? Am I all upset that sometimes poke checks don't do what I want? When a dump-in gets snagged by a defender with a vertical comparable to an NBA stater, do I get all "o000o00 eA DoEsn'T KnOw hOckEy"? I've seen maybe 3 Lacrosse attempts in the abundance of games I've played.. is it rustling my jimmies to the point where I need to rage post on the forums? No. Because these are things that can be addressed by bringing up the topic without the rude comments about the knowledge of the sport held by the team who develops this product.
@KidShowtime1867but have you played competitive 6s for years? Because there's already an arcade mode (3s eliminator) for those who want to skate/pass through people and "have fun". The game is suddenly taking a turn towards arcade this year and that's why many of us are disappointed.
When you buy a hockey game, you expect the game to play and feel like hockey…. No ? If I would buy a game like NBA Street compared to NBA2K, I’m pretty sure I know what I would get if I bought the NBA Street one. Over the top B Ball with an Arcade feel. If I bought the 2K one, I would want for it to be the closest representation of the sport.
That's where people are lost and confused when they buy NHL24. A fully licensed game by the NHL.

No. When I join my beer league team 2-3 nights a week, I expect THAT to feel like hockey.
When I fire up NHL 24, I expect to play a videogame.

Well to start, he admitted that he doesnt want a 1:1 hockey "simulation" so not sure what youre addressing here.
I dont think "not taking this so seriously" will result in the game actually being fun. You know wahts fun about hockey? tic-tac-toe plays, sniping goalies on good shots, hitting people how and when it makes sense, net-front scrambles, and using some general hockey concepts to win at a video game thats allegedly trying to replicate hockey.
none of the things I listed above happen nearly consistiently enough nor in situations when it makes sense to "feel: like hockey...
sprinting down the wall then holding your stick out and spinning in the corner to start you streetball 1v1 showdown while the 8 ai players stand still to watch isnt hockey.
this end-to-end rush game of a 1v1 showdown with no off-puck movement or useful support isnt hockey. this does not resemble even decent 12U hockey in terms of off-puck movement to create time, space, and passing plays.
What real life game have you watched recently that looks like NHL 24? link it cause I want to watch

@Limp_KidzKit: Perfect response. Everyone needs to re-read this.
