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.
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 the definition of a hockey videogame is a very personal definition by different types of people. I never ever want to play online because to me that’s not hockey.
This is the greatest sport on earth, don’t make a mockery of it….
If I wanna go crazy once in awhile playing against my daughter on the couch, I’ll fire a 3s game with the mascots. Or else, I play my setup that’s the closest to the real sport possible and that’s what brings me joy. To me all the little nuances, all the little details is what a game of hockey should be. But that’s just my opinion.
To each their own.

I don't understand your issue then?
@KidShowtime1867Thats not valid for me. I played about twenty years hockey, not beer league but also not pro. When I play this videogame I expect also that it feels a bit like a real hockey game but from my opinion EA NHL is far from this what it could be. Guys like @PernellKarl027 and other guys doing their best to get offline games atractive to play as best as
possible. After a hard working day I want to have some fun to play this game offline and not to battle with young kids for some championships online. If I would like to have a real competition I would go back to the rink and play real hockey. I never would judge about customer here when they asking for things which for me are not so important or for critics about the game.
