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?
You don’t understand my issue ? I’m lost…
I was just responding to one of your post that YOU seemed to have an issue with people wanting a hockey game that resembles the real thing. That’s all…

This game does resemble real hockey. It's also a video game, subject to the same bugs and animation quirks as literally every other video game ever made.
This idea that "NHL 24 isn't hockey" is so dumb. It's okay to say you don't like it. To say it's not your cup of tea. I encourage anyone who doesn't appreciate the game to not buy it. Why would you waste money on something you know you're not going to like?
But it's just wrong to say "it doesn't resemble the real thing". It clearly does. It's just not your personal idea of what video game hockey should be and you're totally allowed to express that opinion.
As for bugs and glitches, yea - let's keep hammering those home so they can be fixed. But let's not precede these suggestions with claims that nobody who enjoys it understands hockey or that the game itself doesn't resemble the sport at all.
